"Nicola is a midwife because of her own midwife. The expert care and love she gave her as young woman helped give Nicola the hope and courage to believe in her ability to be a great mother and future midwife. On her days off, Nicola loves to mountain bike, especially with her grown daughter. She also loves to garden and sew. Nicola comes from a background in exercise and rehabilitation work. She finds it rewarding to be able to use this experience on a daily basis in pregnancy and labor care."
