My name is Nina Bolton. I'm a mother, double certified doula (Intuitive and Earthwise), student midwife and herbalist. I am bilingual, English and Spanish. I'm a teaching doula. I teach a wide variety of classes (pregnancy, birth, postpartum, partner preparation, herbs, parenting, and fermented foods & beverages). I also teach prenatal tribal fusion bellydance, postpartum tribal fusion bellydance strengthening classes, and bellydance and babywearing. I incorporate yoga into each class as a gentle warm up for the mind and body. I'm delighted to teach women the art of bellydance which was created by women for women in order to help prepare for fertility, childbirth, and postpartum. I find that a regular belly dance practice reduces stress, boosts self esteem, and creativity as well as improves posture. I'm passionate about helping inspire women to birth themselves, their babies, and grow into their full power in their new sacred role as Mothers. I love being a doula and supporting women. I was born to do this. It nourishes my soul.
This is my calling. I am honored to be able to help women on their journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your unique and sacred journey to matrescene, the art of becoming a mother.
Because of this, I offer my services as a gift. What does that mean? It means I give the gift of my services freely. I did not have the option to have a doula when I was pregnant because all of the doulas in my area where too expensive. I feel that doulas are a crucial part of a woman's support system during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I give the gift that I would have loved to have freely. You might have noticed that there are prices next to my services. This is only for those who want to pay for my services because they can. I also have a Patreon site. Feel free to donate if you like what I am doing and offering. See the first page of my doula website for the link to my patreon.
