Birth and Postnatal Doula | Redhill, Reigate and Surrounding Areas
Pregnancy, birth and the early weeks of parenthood can feel exciting, overwhelming, emotional and at times deeply vulnerable. Many parents share that they want to feel calmer, more confident and truly supported as they navigate this life changing time.
As a birth and postnatal doula, I offer steady, compassionate emotional and practical support to women and their families, helping you feel informed, listened to and held throughout your journey. My role is to walk alongside you, offering reassurance, evidence based information and a calm, grounded presence so you never feel alone.
I also provide infant feeding support, including breastfeeding guidance, supporting you to feel confident in your feeding choices and helping you work towards your own personal feeding goals. Whether feeding feels straightforward or challenging, you will be met with kindness, patience and non judgemental support.
I trained with Developing Doulas in birth and postnatal support and have completed the ABM Association of Breastfeeding Mothers Foundation Course. I hold a current Paediatric First Aid certificate for 2024 to 2027 and an Enhanced DBS certificate, reflecting my commitment to safety and care. Alongside my doula work, I volunteer regularly at a local breastfeeding café, where I support families with all aspects of infant feeding. Through this work, I have had the privilege of helping many parents feel informed, reassured and empowered.
I have a strong interest in maternal health and wellbeing and am currently undertaking further training in nutrition. This enables me to better support mothers during pregnancy and the postnatal period to feel nourished, supported and cared for, both physically and emotionally.
I am a mother to two daughters and understand firsthand how transformative and demanding this season of life can be. Before becoming a doula, I spent fourteen years working in sales and marketing within an FMCG company. After becoming a parent, my priorities shifted and I felt drawn towards work that felt deeply aligned with my values and allowed me to make a meaningful difference to women and families.
I cover Redhill, Reigate and the surrounding areas and work with families from all backgrounds. If you are looking for calm, compassionate support and someone who will truly listen to you, I would love to connect.
I offer a free, no pressure twenty minute introductory call, giving us the opportunity to talk about what you are looking for and see whether I am the right doula for you and your family.
Warm wishes,
Victoria
TESTIMONIALS:
"We feel very lucky to have found Victoria. She has been such a huge support and a joy to be around. She is a great listener and tailors her support to our specific needs. She is always on hand to answer questions and make suggestions. She is very kind and boosts my confidence and reassures me that my baby is thriving. She is very knowledgeable and puts my mind at ease very quickly when I have concerns or am unsure what to do. Victoria is also amazing with our baby!"
"Nothing is too much or too personal to ask for Vicky’s insight on. She’s made me feel safe as a new mum to be vulnerable and to be open about physical struggles I’ve had, both with breastfeeding and c section recovery. She put me at ease immediately. She takes on conversations others might find awkward such as around bleeding or constipation without embarrassment and has created a safe space for me to talk about how I feel about my postpartum body and recovery. I value these conversations with her enormously."
