Who Am I ?

Rooted in lived experience and backed by years of specialised training, I'm proud to create inclusive spaces shaping how families are supported through life's biggest transitions.

I'm Nicole (she/her)

My path into this work began through my own lived experience. I became a Mother at 19 and as a young mother I quickly discovered how isolating these huge life transitions can feel.

For many years I raised my daughter, navigating single parenthood while working across different service based roles from beauty to kitchens to coffee shops.

I completed my first yoga teacher training in 2019 and later trained as a birth and postpartum doula in 2022. Since then, I’ve deepened my practice through specialised trainings that allow me to offer trauma informed, holistic support across pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.

 

I'm a proud committee member of the Doula Association of Ireland, the leading professional body for doulas in this country where I contribute to shaping how families are supported during pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Today, I live in Roscommon with my partner, my nearly 11 year old daughter and our pets. I support people as a doula, yoga teacher and circle facilitator throughout Connacht & the Midlands of Ireland and online.

Each thread of my life - early motherhood, years of service work, professional training and lived experience of navigating hard things has shaped how I care for others and strengthened my ability to listen deeply.

I do this work because I believe our culture doesn't always honour these powerful life transitions, these rites of passage. Menstruation, pregnancy, birth and postpartum deserve to be honoured and supported not rushed through or minimised.

While much of my work focuses on these big transitions I believe everyone deserves spaces of rest and reconnection. That's why I offer yoga, circles and 1-to-1 support that meet you exactly where you are.

You deserve to be honoured and supported not as a luxury but as a necessity.

I create spaces where you can feel nourished, heard and truly cared for so your experience isn't rushed and overlooked. My approach is holistic and inclusive, weaving together the emotional, physical, and spiritual so you feel resourced wherever you are - not just cared for, but truly supported.

 

Whether you're preparing for birth, settling into parenting, navigating your menstrual cycle or simply seeking a space to exhale I see you.

 

And I'd be honoured to support you.
