Birth Doula Services

As your doula, I hope to empower you throughout birth, as well as be an advocate for your family.

Your emotions and comfort are my top priority and I am always happy to talk through anything weighing on your mind . Once labor begins, I provide continuous emotional and physical support, as well as prioritize your birth preferences - no matter how you choose to bring your baby into this world. My goal as your doula is to listen & learn about what is important to you in this life transition and to create a more positive birth. Ultimately, I believe birth is a beautiful, natural, and empowering experience!

I offer a free consultation to answer any questions you may have & to see if it feels like a good fit for your family!

“If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it.”

— Dr. John Kennell, founder of DONA International

“Victoria made my birthing experience the best it possibly could have been! She was very supportive and helped make sure the nurses and doctor followed my birth plan. She was able to help me with every want and need I had through labor and after!”

-Lora

Cannot recommend Victoria as a doula enough! She provided such a calming presence throughout my pregnancy and the birth of my second. Her knowledge regarding pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and newborns is expansive. Truly was my go-to for questions and advice!! I will forever recommend her to others!!
