Allow me to introduce myself, and share how Soft Rising was born..

I’ve been a nurse for over 12 years, with more than a decade dedicated to women’s health. Beyond nursing, I serve as a DV advocate, a pastor’s wife, a mom to five wonderful children (two still at home), and a proud Mimi to three beautiful grandchildren.

Soft Rising grew out of both my professional experience and my personal journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. I know firsthand the physical demands, the emotional ups and downs, and the delicate balance of family life during this tender season.

Whether you’re welcoming your first child or your fifth, those early weeks with a newborn bring both tremendous joy and significant challenges. My goal is to walk alongside you and your family during this time — so you can focus on healing, resting, and bonding with your baby.

I often tell my patients: “When a baby is born, so is a mother.” Both deserve attentive care. Too often I’ve seen mothers overlooked — everyone wants to hold the baby, but few recognize that mom is recovering from immense physical changes, navigating overwhelming emotions, and running on little rest.

That’s where Soft Rising comes in. We provide the emotional, physical, and practical support that mothers need, so they don’t have to walk this journey alone. Trusted care is invaluable during those first few weeks, so that you can rest, heal, and bond with your new baby. Let us support you as you gently rise from birth.

“When a baby is born, so is a mother — and both deserve attentive care.”

Nikki,
Founder · Nurse · Mom
