Your Doulas

Nikole Vali

Owner, Birth & Postpartum Doula, Certified Yoga Instructor

Nikole spent her childhood in Zimbabwe and then moved to the UK when she was 21. Her journey to becoming a doula began after visiting Canada for the birth of her second nephew. Nikole did not expect to be present at the birth and to her surprise, her brother and sister-in-law invited her into the birthing room. Nikole was there from the beginning to the end and from that day the experience made her realize that doula work was her true calling. Nikole is formally trained as a Birth & Postpartum Doula with Doula Training Canada. She deepened her doula practice as a volunteer birth doula in Tanzania, Africa in 2019. Her compassion & empathy towards clients comes from a deep respect of the incredibly strong & empowering women she has worked with. Nikole fundamentally believes that every woman has the right to a healthy, supportive, and positive birth experience no matter what the circumstances. She is committed to helping birthing women and couples feel empowered and supported throughout their journey. She looks forward to meeting you!

Fiona Wright

Birth & Postpartum Doula

Fiona knows first hand the challenges birthing women can face because she experienced many of them herself. From mourning pregnancy loss, to walking away from a vaginal birth still feeling dissatisfied, to being a new parent struggling to breastfeed, to developing postpartum depression - she gets it. Which is why she didn’t want other families to have to work through these challenges alone. 

As a birth and postpartum worker, Fiona is passionate about lactation, the postpartum transition and family health. She believes every family can gain the necessary knowledge, tools and resources to be confident in their own abilities and intuition. It starts in pregnancy and continues for a lifetime. Her holistic approach, patience, empathy, knowledge and experiences guide parents as they venture into the beginning of their parenthood journeys. 

When she’s not teaching parents, you can find her nestled under some blankets watching a movie with her son or reading a book.
