Nicolette Hadden is a Cape Town–based birth consultant and coach dedicated to providing grounded, skilled, and deeply sensitive support through labour, birth, and the early postpartum journey.
With more than 800 hospital births behind her, she brings a rare blend of calm confidence, evidence-based care, and intuitive doula support to every family she walks alongside. Nicolette collaborates closely with many of Cape Town’s leading obstetricians and midwives, ensuring that each parent feels supported, informed, and empowered, whether they’re welcoming their first baby or adding to a growing family.
Known for her steady presence and thoughtful approach, Nicolette helps parents navigate the wild, beautiful, and often overwhelming experience of birth with clarity and reassurance. Her role is simple: to be there - fully, consistently, and wholeheartedly - so families can focus on what matters most.
In addition to her one-on-one birth support, Nicolette runs Birthroom Basics, a fun, honest, and practical birth education workshop designed to prepare parents and partners with real knowledge, real tools, and a whole lot of heart.
