A board-certified, practicing OB/GYN, wife, mom, podcast host, and course creator, Dr. Nicole Rankins is all about helping you have your most beautiful pregnancy and birth experience.
Born into a family of educators, she felt the pull to medical school the day she looked in the mirror and saw a vision of herself in a white coat. And get this… it happened while she was studying to be an engineer.
Sounds crazy, right?!
But that vision has led her to deliver more than 1,000 babies and demystify childbirth for thousands more women — through her 5-star rated All About Pregnancy & Birth podcast, her online Birth Plan class, and her signature online program: The Birth Preparation Course.
