In the Waiting

Doula Services

Welcome! I'm Nikki Avila

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here! My passion for birth work runs deep, and I feel truly honored that you’re considering me for support on your journey. Whether you're a pregnant mother, a surrogacy carrier, or an intended parent (IP), my goal is to provide you with the care, education, and advocacy you need every step of the way.

Since 2018, I’ve been dedicated to supporting families through both birth and postpartum experiences. I’ve trained with several doula organizations, focusing on inclusivity, diversity, and ongoing professional development. This training ensures I can offer the highest level of support to every individual and family I work with.

Early in my career, I realized there was something more I could offer to the birthing experience. I reflected on one of the first births I attended, where the mother had such a calm, peaceful, and empowering experience. I later learned she had used the Hypnobabies method, which focuses on creating a more comfortable birth through hypnosis and a positive mindset. In 2021, I became a Certified Hypnobabies Childbirth Instructor and Hypno-Doula, and it completely transformed how I support birthing individuals.

Through Hypnobabies, I help guide expecting parents to harness their inner strength and create a peaceful, empowering birth experience. This comprehensive program includes 18 hours of evidence-based education and deep hypnosis techniques designed to make your birthing journey more comfortable and calm. The program only works when you put in the daily effort—listening to tracks and completing homework is essential to achieving the full benefits.

I also offer consultations to determine if Hypnobabies is the right fit for you. If not, I provide instruction in other childbirth education courses that might better suit your unique birthing journey. Every birth path is different, and I’m here to help you find the best approach for your needs.

If you’d like to explore how I can support you, I’d love to offer you a FREE consultation. Let’s set up a time for you and your support person to discuss your goals and how we can make your birthing journey everything you hope for.

Looking forward to supporting you!

With love, Nikki Avila
