About Me
Your Dedicated Full Spectrum Doula
Personal Introduction
Hi, I'm Nikita and I'm the doula behind Solace Support. I've lived my entire life in the Greater Toronto Area and currently reside in the charming little city of Milton. My calling to Doula work started in 2018 when I realized how deeply this path speaks to my nurturing nature and desire to support others through life's most powerful transitions. My passion for this work has only continued to grow. Thus began a passionate career rooted in the firm belief that everyone has the right to make informed decisions about what is right for them.
I am a Cornerstone-trained doula, currently pursuing a degree in Women and Gender Studies. My education has deepened my understanding of the interconnected issues in reproductive justice and has supported my trauma-based practice. My experience includes working with Birth Mark Support and have supported more than 90 diverse families across the GTA during their labour, birth, and postpartum period.
My priority has always been empowerment through education. The aim is to build a relationship founded on trust and safety before we embark on your birth journey together. Therefore, our sessions will focus on exploring your options throughout pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postpartum period, so that you are equipped with the information needed to make informed decisions.
I strive to be a calming presence and offer a nurturing approach throughout my time with you. Above all, I am grateful to the families who invite me to be a part of one of life's most significant milestones.
Philosophy and Approach
I offer an approach to birth and postpartum that is rooted in education and justice. I prioritize providing my clients with evidence-based knowledge so they are set up to advocate for informed consent and to make autonomous decisions.
My approach is evidence and trauma informed in all aspects. That means that I provide support that is rooted in research and best practices while also being sensitive to the emotional and psychological impacts of past or current trauma.
My goal is to be compassionate, respectful, and tailor my offerings to meet both the physical and emotional needs of the birthing parent and their family.
