Victoria was a godsend! She was our overnight postpartum doula for the first two weeks of newborn life and I don't know how I would've survived without her. As a first time mom, getting adequate sleep was so crucial for helping my body heal and recover after delivery. Victoria kept my daughter safe and loved, helped us establish our nighttime routine, and answered all of my wild first time mom questions at all hours. She's a wealth of knowledge, so pleasant to be around, and is more than worth her rate. I would 100% hire her again.

Victoria is the best! She supported us when we needed her during the fourth trimester. She's extremely reliable, confident, and supportive. We knew our baby was in good hands and we were able to get some sleep. We would look forward to the nights when she was able to help us out!

Victoria was critical to my pregnancy and birth experience. During pregnancy she answered my random "is this normal" questions and made me feel seen and understood. The morning of my labor she came right over to help me work through contractions, applying counter pressure, and helps us know when to make the move to the hospital. During labor she advocated for our wishes, kept me moving positions to progress my labor, and created a calm environment for me to stay focused. She stopped by a few days post partum to check on us, answer more silly questions, and continues to support our family. I can't say enough good things about the calm and reassuring energy Victoria brings to her clients. I couldn't have had my unmedicated birth experience without her!

My partner and I are beyond thankful for Victoria's support during the third trimester and birth of our son! She gave us confidence in our birth plan, answered questions we had with prudence, and was who I leaned on (literally) when labor was at it's most intense. Victoria truly made me feel cared for and encouraged in the weeks leading up to labor. She helped us decide when to head to the hospital with perfect timing. Her calm presence alongside us at the hospital took away any worry of communicating our labor plans to the hospital staff. I trusted all her leading in switching up positions throughout labor. After experiencing a previous birth with no doula, I know that Victoria was absolutely a huge factor in this second birth being more straightforward, calm, and smooth. Nothing beats walking into the hospital with someone who has gotten to know you and is ready to focus on being your advocate. And Victoria is honestly just the sweetest person. Anyone working with her will be in kind and skilled hands!

Victoria is such a calming, encouraging, and strong presence to have during the labor process. Having her by my side during my unmedicated labor was most helpful and truly special for both me and my husband. Not only was she supportive during labor, but she also helped answer many of my questions and concerns in the weeks leading up to labor. She's quick to respond and kind...I could not have asked for a better doula and highly recommend her to anyone.
