Based in Orange County, CA
Hello there! My name is Nina and I am a certified birth doula through DONA International, mother of two fun and energetic children, and former nonprofit professional. I was born and raised in Sweden, but my life journey has taken me all over the world, and I have lived outside of Sweden for over a decade in the U.S., U.K., and Costa Rica, among other places. I thrive in diverse environments and when I have the opportunity to work with and learn from people from different cultures and backgrounds. I have always been passionate about supporting other people, which influenced both my career and academic interests. I received my Bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College and my Master’s degree from Tufts University, where I studied International Development.
My happy place is wherever I am with my husband and children, and spending quality time with friends and family. I enjoy traveling, cooking/baking, hiking, playing tennis, reading, and a relaxing evening of Netflix. I am a huge fan of Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and British classics! I also have a soft spot in my heart for thrill rides and amusement parks.
I have found a true calling in my role as a doula because it enables me to combine my passion for health and education, support women and families to improve their health and wellbeing, and help women advocate for their needs. I have no preconceived notions of what birth looks like, and I want to support you in developing your birth vision and preferences. Every journey to birth and parenthood is unique, and that is the beauty of it!
I am also experienced with midwifery care and out-of-hospital births, having completed a four-month program with South Coast Midwifery. I have worked with parents who have used various childbirth education courses such as the Bradley Method, Hypnobirthing, Lamaze, and Mama Natural.
Feel free to reach out to me for a complimentary consultation. I also offer sliding scale fees and payment plans depending on your situation and financial circumstances, as I aim to make my doula services as accessible as possible.
I look forward to getting to know you and your story, and would be honored and excited to support your journey to parenthood!
