I am a full-spectrum doula, offering support in reproductive health, birth and labor, and postpartum care in Connecticut and Rhode Island. I love doula work because I deeply value the one-to-one relationships I build with clients, walking alongside them during one of the most important and transformative experiences of their lives. My passion for supporting, educating, and empowering people giving birth comes from my commitment to addressing the maternal and infant health disparities that disproportionately affect Black women. My goal is to help all birthing people—especially Black women—feel confident, informed, and supported by: learning to trust their bodies, learning to trust themselves to make informed decisions and advocate for the birth experience they desire, and receiving culturally responsive, non-clinical emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth. It would be an honor to support you on your birth journey. I work collaboratively with you and your support team to create an experience where you feel confident, informed, and surrounded by care, love, and respect. I welcome you to schedule a free, 30-minute consultation to help us get to know one another, decide if we're a good fit and so that I can also answer any questions you may have.

I offer birth and postpartum doula services as well as overnight newborn care.
Nishante was excellent, kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. She went above and beyond staying multiple nights in the hospital with us. I highly recommend Nishante!

Didn't thought i needed a doula while giving birth but the help i got from Nishante was heaven sent. The experience was all about making sure i was ok and most importantly informed about birth and postpartum which was great. She gave great support and care and i would definitely recommend her to friends and family.

Nishante was truly amazing during my birth and after! I wanted to make sure I was heard in the delivery room as well as supported so all I had to do was focus on laboring, with my husband. Nishante truly was a rock! I am truly grateful for the support during labor. I was pushed to my limits but every time I wanted to give up, my husband and Nishante was right there telling me I can do it and encouraging me. She always was a step ahead on what I needed while I labored, where it was a drink of water, a snack, fan, counter pressure, to change positions. Anything, she was literally on the ball. If my husband and I decided to have one more, I would 1,000% book Nishante again! Thank you again for everything! Your work is truly amazing and appreciated. 💕💕

Nishante has been my son's childcare provider for nearly two years, starting when he was six months old. She is reliable, calm, funny and no-nonsense and truly cares about our family and my son. She has become part of our family and has worked with us through so many milestones, including sleep training and potty training, and we are so grateful to have her. She stays clear-headed in a crisis but is firm and tough (but still kind) when necessary, and I am sure those qualities make her an amazing doula as well.

It’s not easy to leave your children with a total stranger when hundreds of miles from home but that is exactly what I did with Nishante - not only once, but twice when I vacationed in the area again the next year. Nishante is so kind while at the same time letting the kids know she is in charge (better than me!), attentive, willing to take the kids out and about, and I want her to clean my house too! So grateful to have found Nishante for when we were away from home!

Nishante was the doula for my sister in laws birth which I was lucky to witness. She is fantastic, calm, and prepared. I respect her patience and temperament very much and highly recommend her for birth support.
