Hi, I'm Vicky. I live in the North East of England with my beautiful daughter and our Cockerpoo, and I’m here to support you and your family in this next chapter of your life. It's an absolute honour to be a part of this beautiful journey with the lovely families I've supported being a doula.
From your first contact with me I will want to gather as much information as possible. Not only to assist you in the birth you want but to get to know you and your family and build a trusting relationship. We'll arrange an initial chat, then I'd like to meet you and your family (partners, children, dogs, cats, the whole shebang) in person to see if we're the right fit for each other.
I'll leave you with all the information you need to decide if I'm the right doula and what packages I offer.
As your doula, I'd want to here about your appointments, progress, I'll be available to answer any questions, do research...pretty much anything you need.
We will do antenatal sessions around physiology and biomechanics of your body in pregnancy and labour, and a birth preferences sessions so we're all crystal clear on the birthing experience you (and your partner) want.
At the birth, I don't just support the people giving birth, I help partners with practical and emotional support, I'm a spare pair of hands for midwives, I will advocate for you and your plan where necessary (and strongly if needed). Not to mention liaising with organisations for placenta encapsulation, stem cell harvesting etc. I also take pictures of the first moments of baby's life. All of my clients have said how precious these are, and it's an honour to capture the moments.
I will be there as often as you need me postnatally with breastfeeding support, emotion support as well as practical things like light cleaning, preparing food, looking after baby whilst you shower, sleep, or just have some you time...anything you need.
This is why I love being a Doula, no one day the same. My profile picture is me on a postnatal session walking with baby in a sling...my happy place ❤️
I'm quite a spiritual person, I practice mindfulness and meditation daily and participate in breathwork ceremonies as often as I can. I hold women’s circles and look forward to holding pregnancy circles soon. All of this feeds in to me being calm, focused and energised to help you bring life in to this world.
If you like the sound of my profile and feel my passion and experience would be something you and your family would benefit from, please get in touch.
If other doula's in the area would like to get to know me for shared care opportunities or to be a part of a doula community please feel free to contact.
