Virtual Doula Care

“I followed your guide and prepared my circadian rhythm by essentially living outside during the summer, getting plenty of sleep, no screens at night, waking with the sun, going barefoot. I am so happy to report that we avoided the NICU despite an ABO intolerance and I had my healthy big baby at home. He is 4 months old and has slept so well at night since day 1.”

"To abbreviate a long story, my water broke when I was 19 weeks pregnant and my son spent his first 18 months in the NICU/PICU. At two years old, he was still in 6 month clothes and followed by an endocrinologist for low thyroid hormones, low hgh, and so on. I don’t remember how I initially came across your work, but I know I was hooked and we immediately, if slowly, started attending to our circadian rhythm. By spring of this year we had pretty well mitigated ALAN (a challenge with a technology dependent child, but we did our best!) and spent ample time outside every day, especially in the morning; our eating and social habits naturally followed. This week, my son (now almost four years old) had his semi-annual follow up with his endocrinologist and she actually released him from care without even drawing labs because, direct quote, “he’s grown so much, his thyroid and hgh levels are obviously…great.” My guy had grown five inches in five months, and, not that I care much for percentiles and such in themselves, but as a metric he’d jumped from the .02 percentile to the 40th percentile. I am convinced that circadian support specifically made a world of difference for his little hormones. I could wax endlessly about the benefits we’ve seen as a family, especially for my son, but that quantifiable win in the endocrinologists office made me smile for a week and I wanted to share. Thank you for putting your work into the world, we are all better for it! "

“Nikko's work has been such a gift to me and my family! Her huge library of substack articles as well as the pregnancy and baby workshops are SO rich and full of information. It has literally changed the daily rhythms of my family. It has already made my second pregnancy much more enjoyable since implementing some of her suggestions. I am so excited to go through birth and infancy again with all this knowledge. We already felt we got the “circadian thing" too but there was so much more to learn. 🤍”
