About Me
Hi, I’m Vicky. I live in the North East of England with my beautiful daughter Charlotte and our cockerpoo Pippa, and I’m here to support you and your family in this next chapter of life. I feel it’s an honour to be a part of this beautiful journey with the lovely families I’ve supported. I have also been a birth partner for many friends and family through their, all with different stories.
I have supported many people throughout my career, young mums and pregnant teenagers as a youth worker and as mental health practitioner supporting adults experiencing complex needs. I love supporting people, that’s why I’ve combined my two passions, supporting people and the joy of pregnancy and babies.
Here’s my story…I waited a long time to get pregnant and loved every minute. I had a wonderful water birth; my birthing centre midwives followed my plan beautifully and my hypnobirthing course helped me focus and breath through the surges. However, outside of my baby bubble things were a little more turbulent. My husband had his own struggles and my mum’s partner had had recently passed away. If I’d have known about doula’s then, I would have hired one on the spot! I needed a support system for me, so my emotional cup was full to support those closest to me. They would have benefitted hugely from the doula support as well. They would have been given all the information and guidance they needed, as well as a space to talk about their anxieties and expectations. That’s why I think it’s important to support, not only mum and baby but the family unit as well.
I have been on a spiritual journey for some years. I practice mindfulness and meditation daily and participate in breathwork ceremonies as often as I can. I hold women’s circles regularly and look forward to holding pregnancy circles soon too.
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.
