“At Soft Rising, we provide personalized, emotional and practical support throughout labor, delivery, and the postpartum period. We believe that all Moms need opportunities to rest, heal, and bond. Because when a baby is born, so is a Mother.”
At Soft Rising, we support women as they softly rise into motherhood.
We believe that practical and emotional support is not only empowering during labor and delivery, but provides Moms with much-needed opportunities to rest and heal in the fourth trimester. Studies have shown this kind of support enhances bonding between Mom and baby, and eases the added stress and exhaustion that can lead to postpartum depression and anxiety.
Meet Nikki - Birth Doula, Nurse, Mom, Mimi
Founder | Soft Rising - Care for Birth and Beyond
Allow me to introduce myself, and share how Soft Rising was born..
I’ve been a nurse for over 12 years, with more than a decade dedicated to women’s health. I am also a certified birth doula. Beyond nursing, I serve as a DV advocate, a pastor’s wife, a mom to five wonderful children (two still at home), and a proud Mimi to three beautiful grandchildren.
Soft Rising grew out of both my professional experience and my personal journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. I know firsthand the physical demands, the emotional ups and downs, and the delicate balance of family life during this tender season.
Whether you’re welcoming your first child or your fifth, pregnancy, labor, delivery, and especially those early weeks with a newborn at home bring both tremendous joy and significant challenges. My goal is to walk alongside you and your family during this time — so you can focus on healing, resting, and bonding with your baby.
I often tell my clients: “When a baby is born, so is a mother.” Both deserve attentive care. Too often I’ve seen mothers overlooked, especially during the postpartum period — everyone wants to hold the baby, but few recognize that mom is recovering from immense physical changes, navigating overwhelming emotions, and running on little rest.
My goal is to provide the emotional, physical, and practical support that mothers need, so they don’t have to walk this journey alone. Trusted care is invaluable as your family undergoes tremendous transitions over this relatively short amount of time. You should be able to focus on resting, healing, and bonding with your new baby. Let me support you as you gently rise from birth.
“When a baby is born, so is a mother — and both deserve attentive care.”
