Background: 

​

I’m Nikki Nichols, a holistic postpartum doula dedicated to helping families transition through the postpartum period with intention, nourishment, and support. I developed a deep love for caregiving early on, first through caring for my younger siblings and later through babysitting, nannying, and providing care to elders and loved ones.

 

Originally hailing from the Rocky Mountains, I value nature and body wisdom. I studied Early Childhood Education and English at CU Boulder, and my lifelong experience and passion for caregiving and holistic wellness led me to train as a postpartum doula.

​​

My work:

I created Maiden to Mother Doula to serve families through this transformational time. As a queer woman from a blended family, I seek to serve queer, blended, and alternative families. My offerings combine modern postpartum support with intuitive and ancestral wisdom, drawing from traditions like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Mayan postpartum practices, and holistic nutrition. I provide hands-on support, including postpartum planning, ceremonial healing practices, overnight baby care, and nutrition guidance, all aimed at helping families feel grounded, informed, and cared for.

Where does the name come from?

The name "Maiden to Mother" comes from my belief in the power of archetypes to help guide us through life's major transitions. Becoming a parent (of all genders), whether for the first or fourth time and beyond, is a profound shift—one that deserves reverence, care, and intentional support. My role is to walk alongside you as you step into this new chapter, ensuring you feel empowered, nurtured, and deeply held in the process.
