THE CREATOR

Nickita's story 

Nickita is an experienced Doula in association with IMUK and works closely with Maya midwives.

She has 2 children. Her first daughter 'Sophie' was born in 2008. Nickita had the most traumatic labour which compelled her to ask questions about the 'conveyor belt system' in maternity services. She knew deep down that what she had experienced was not normal. Soon after Sophie was born she started her journey to midwifery but soon realised it was not for her. Nickita believed that midwifery had become over medicalised which steered away from natural birth. Nickita then completed her training to become a Doula and has since served countless women. She has supported them in their choices and provided them with critical information about their choices in childbirth. 

​

After having Sophie, Nickita wanted another child but sadly suffered 9 miscarriages over a 12 year period. Then in July 2020 her miracle baby Dottie was born at home after a beautiful 3 hour labour! No pain, just an intense experience. This was all thanks to the  antenatal support she received from Andy Parker. An independent midwife. She gave Nickita the tools to birth the way she desired after the NHS failed to support her choices. To quote "Andy is my friend, my hero and my saviour". 

After the incredible antenatal support she received from Andy, Nickita vowed to raise the money the independent midwives needed for their insurance. 

As well as a birth worker she is an established singer songwriter. Nickita has made a niche connection with both vocations and has started a campaign to uphold her vow to Andy. Her plan is to;

1) Raise the money needed for IM'S to get their own insurance product 

2) Raise awareness about birth choices in the UK and to empower women everywhere. 
She has written a single which is available to download now! Also available for streaming on spotify.
 

Nickita wrote a single which will raise money for the insurance and will be released in March 2021. 

Nickita is also the creator of the film "When push comes to shove". Filming will begin in April 2021
