E024 - The First Midwives, featuring an Interview with Midwife Nikki Helms

Nikki Helms has supported families as either a doula or midwife for over 15 years. Her work began with a simple gesture of wanting to fulfill a friend's request to attend their birth. Soon after, all of her friends were requesting her to be their doula. It wasn't until moving to San Diego; she realized her work had moved beyond just providing suggestions to families and supporting them more like a care provider. In wanting to make a difference and support families the way, she felt they deserved care; she began her journey to become a midwife.Answering the call of family-centered care has led her down the path of wanting to own and open a free-standing birth center in Clairemont, California. Centralized care within the community and directly for the community. While it will be a space of inclusive reproductive health focus, she also envisions it as a community hub. A space offering education, resources, mental health support, donation-based services, mental health support, and collect support for anything you might need in a particular season of your life — a space full of abundance and accessibility.If you would like to connect with Nikki for any of your reproductive health, birth, or postpartum needs, head to her website. To learn more about the birth center and to support, head to the GoFundMe here.
