Dedicated Doula Care

Where Comfort Meets Confidence

Hi, I’m Nikki Moran.

A young woman with long brown hair, smiling outdoors in a park-like setting, wearing a black T-shirt with sunflower and butterfly graphics and the words 'Mystery' and 'sedina' visible, with trees and a building in the background.

Welcome! I'm Nikki (she/her), a birth worker based in Hilversum. Originally from Ireland and living in the Netherlands since 2018, I began my doula training in 2022 with BiA Doula in Amsterdam. My background in Gender Studies and work as a Sexual and Reproductive Health researcher fuels my passion for person-centered care and reproductive justice.

I provide support throughout the Gooi, Amsterdam, and Utrecht areas. Think of me as your pregnancy sidekick, navigating the adventure of birth with equal parts expertise and laughter. I'm here to ensure you feel empowered, supported, and heard throughout your journey.

Whether you need evidence-based information, comfort techniques, or simply someone to share both the challenges and joys of pregnancy, I provide compassionate, consistent care tailored to your unique needs. From breathing exercises to belly laughs, I believe birth can be both beautiful and empowering with the right support.

Let's make this journey unforgettable - with heart, humour, and personalised care every step of the way

What are the benefits of having a doula?

Research has consistently shown that having a doula support present during labour can:

  • Lead to reduced rates of medical interventions

  • Decreased need for pain medication

  • Shorter labour durations

  • Increased feelings of empowerment

  • Improved birth satisfaction

  • Facilitates informed decision making

But what do doulas actually do?

At their core, birth doulas provide physical, emotional, logistical and informational support to pregnant people and their partner during pregnancy and childbirth. Doulas are there to provide consistent, personalised care. During pregnancy, this manifests as providing information on relevant topics you would like more information on, supporting you in developing your birth preferences and practicing for labour. During labour, your doula can help you with breathing techniques, visualisation exercises, massages, counter pressure techniques to help ease the pain of contractions and suggesting and helping you move into different positions to help with the progression of labour. Your doula also helps with making sure that you have the space for informed-decision making during labour.
