Hi, I'm Nina Spears!

Also known as The Baby Chick® — the “chick” who helps moms and babies. I’m a birth & postpartum doula, childbirth educator, newborn educator, perinatal nutrition specialist, prenatal fitness educator, and the founder of Baby Chick®.

Since 2011, I’ve supported hundreds of families through their pregnancies and births — in hospitals, birth centers, and at home. I’ve been in the room when birth goes exactly as planned… and when it doesn’t. And I’ve seen what actually helps women feel more capable and empowered, and be more supported when they need it most.

I’ve also had two unmedicated births myself, so I know firsthand how important and powerful good preparation, support, and mindset can be for a better birth and transition into motherhood.

SOAR was created from years of working with and watching smart, well-intentioned women do everything they thought was right… and still feel underprepared and unready for birth. And it’s not through any fault of their own; it’s because the system doesn’t teach you how or support you to practice and truly prepare for birth.

This program isn’t based on theory; it’s built from real evidence, real conversations, real labor rooms, and real moments where preparation makes a world of difference.

I don’t believe in one “perfect” way to give birth.

I believe in helping you feel ready, supported, and informed, no matter how your birth unfolds.

What moms are saying

I absolutely loved having this app and taking this course before becoming a first time mom! Nina is so knowledgeable and there is so much helpful information in this 8 week course like how your partner can support you, nutrition, exercise, and even for when you’re labor and postpartum! So much better than endlessly googling, asking AI, or searching on social media for any answers to your questions. I went into birth informed and empowered because of this course! 10/10 recommend!

— Amanda

This app provided us with so much knowledge that we were ready and confident going into labor. Based of this knowledge and prep I was able to have my first baby so smoothly. Being prepared helped take away the fear I had over giving birth and gave me the tools I needed to enjoy and take on the labor process. I highly recommend me this app to any mamas who want to feel more confident in their birthing process!

— Malia

The more I’ve learned through the app & have become more comfortable with the idea of labor & what to expect, it’s really helped me turn my fear into excitement.

— Morgan

Before this program, I was scared of birth. Now, I feel informed, supported, and excited. Nina truly changed my experience.

— Rachael

This challenge has really helped me feel more confident in pregnancy as I get ready for birth. It answered so many questions and helped me feel equipped — physically, emotionally, and for everything birth-related. The weekly calls have been such great support, and I’ve loved connecting with other women in the same season!

— FirstTimeMamaTX

Best birth prep out there! Helped me become more confident and knowledgeable in my pregnancy and prepared me for birth! Highly recommend 10/10!

— Baby Chick’s biggest fan!

The app challenge has really been a huge help. I love the workouts, have learned a ton about prenatal nutrition and what to expect during labor, and even my husband has enjoyed the lessons.

— Sara

I feel way more prepared & comfortable after using the app. My questions were answered, & I learned so much about medical terminology & labor stages.

— Victoria

The traditional medical system has gaps, and this challenge helped me feel informed and that I have choices.

— Danae

Finally, a maternity app that truly gets it. It feels modern, inclusive, and filled with real-life advice I can actually relate to. You can tell the creator poured her heart into it. I’m so glad I found an app that is made for this generation and for the average moms like me.

— Asian Mama of 2

This app has taught me so much about what motherhood has in store for me. It’s so easy to use and teaches me something new every day. I’ve been absolutely loving the app!!

— Arianna

This is a really intuitive app that’s easy to use.
