It was at that birth, watching her sister-in-law raw through her sensations , and supporting her brother who seemed like he was going to pass out as well as being the nurses assistant that Nikole found her true calling. Nikole was there from the beginning to the end and from that day the experience made her realize that doula work was her true calling. Soon after Nikole moved to Canada and began her journey.
