      <image:title>Home - Hi, I’m Nikita</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a certified birth and postpartum doula serving the California Central Coast in San Luis Obispo County. I'm passionate about assisting women in birthing the way they choose, whether it be hospital, birth center, or home birth. I love sharing the joy of an empowered birth, tailored to suit the needs and desires of each individual mother. Experiencing the joy of two beautiful home births myself inspired in me the desire to share the joys of positive birthing experiences with others. I believe every mother has a right to feel confident and powerful during birth. I believe mothers should be encouraged to follow their maternal instincts, be provided the opportunity for informed consent, have their choices respected, their body honored, and their partner included as desired. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge of newborn care and postpartum planning/assistance. I would be honored to be part of your birth journey.</image:caption>
