Birth and postpartum doula support in Madison, WI and surrounding areas.
I believe birth is a beautiful, natural, and empowering experience, no matter how you choose to bring your baby into the world. As your doula, I hope to provide evidenced-based information, advocate for your needs and affirm your choices in birth. In the postpartum period, my goal is to show up for whatever you are needing that day, whether its lactation support, newborn care while you catch up on sleep, or cooking a meal for your family. I want to provide your family the space to enjoy this new chapter, while feeling fully supported.

Testimonials from Parents
“I truly cannot imagine our birth without Victoria. She made the whole experience so special and really advocated for us every step of the way. From the very beginning she went above and beyond to support us, and during labor she was incredible, helping me with breathing, guiding me into positions, and just being such a calm, steady presence. I felt so cared for and supported, and I’m so thankful we had her with us.”
