Zoia Nikolova

Zoia Nikolova is a doula and proud mother of two who has been supporting families through the perinatal period since 2006. Born and raised in Bulgaria, Zoia moved to Canada as a teenager and has spent the past three decades living and working in Ottawa and the surrounding area.

Her journey into birth work began in 2006 as a Mothercraft volunteer, where she discovered her passion for supporting families during this sacred and transformative time. In 2009, she trained professionally as a doula and has been offering care, education, and emotional support ever since.

Zoia believes that the perinatal period is a time of profound growth—not only for the baby but for the entire family. She approaches her work with deep respect for each family’s unique story, offering gentle guidance that honors both collective and individual needs. Her calm presence and compassionate listening create a safe space for healing, connection, and conversation—foundations that help families navigate challenges and rediscover joy in their journey together.

Her goal is to provide steady, nurturing support that helps parents feel grounded and confident through every transition. Whether she’s offering hands-on assistance, emotional reassurance, or practical education, Zoia’s approach is rooted in empathy and love for the work she does.

Outside of her practice, Zoia enjoys spending time with her husband and children, relaxing in nature, dancing, camping, and traveling. Her joyful spirit and warm energy infuses both her personal life and her work with families. Zoia serves: Perth, Smith Falls, Almonte, Carleton Place, Carp and Kanata. She provides services in English and Bulgarian.
