Welcome to First Breath,
where transformation and diversity are celebrated!


My name is Nicole Barrette.  I am wife to Justin and mother to 7 year old Joseph, 5 year old Hudson and 2 year old Marlaina.

My family and I love ALL animals, the outdoors, and sharing good food with friends and family.  We also enjoy and popcorn and movie nights, and hitting the trails with our four dogs every chance we get.  

But what I`m really passionate about is the miracle of life.  Pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and everything in between.  I have become a certified doula through  Childbirth International and feel grateful to be a part of such an intimate and personal experience as childbirth is for a family.

Whether you are interested in Doula Care, Waterbirth, Belly Casting, or Placenta Encapsulation  I love it all and am happy to help you!

Nicole Barrette
