A little about me…
I’m, a mother of two beautiful girls, and have been married since 2015. I grew up on the Isle of Wight, spent some years in London, and have now called Redhill and Reigate home since 2011.
My Journey
Before becoming a doula, I worked in sales and marketing for an FMCG company for 14 years. After having my children (2017 & 2020), my priorities and passions shifted. I wanted work that felt authentic, aligned with my values, and where I could make a real difference to mothers and families over the next 20–30 years. Taking that leap into doula work has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made.
My Training and Expertise
I trained with Developing Doulas in birth and postnatal support, and completed the ABM (Association of Breastfeeding Mothers) Foundation Course to support mothers with breastfeeding. I also hold a current paediatric first aid certificate, valid from 2024 to 2027.
My Passion for Health and Wellbeing
I am passionate about supporting mothers to feel nourished, confident, and cared for during pregnancy and postpartum. I focus on feeding and nourishing mothers, creating space for both mother and partner’s mental wellbeing, and ensuring physical health and recovery are optimal to enable you to care for your baby. I encourage gentle physical and emotional support throughout this journey, helping you feel strong, supported, and empowered as you navigate early parenthood.

Testimonials from clients…
AJE
“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.”
OAH
“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.”
AA
“Vicky was always so caring and kind. Very emotionally intelligent and always checking in to see how I was. She could read the room very well and never make me feel bad about going through some tough emotions. She was an amazing cheerleader throughout the weaning journey. Vicky always acknowledged my feelings and made me feel like I mattered. Mothers get overlooked so much, and this was so important for me”
ES
“We had such a wonderful experience with our postnatal support from Vicky. She was incredibly supportive, kind, and always willing to help in any way, going above and beyond, whether it was caring for the baby or helping around the house to lighten the load. We trusted her completely with our baby. Vicky was amazing with our little one and she also taught us so much along the way as we adjusted to becoming new parents. Having her around felt like having a trusted friend in the house, which was so reassuring, particularly when I went back to work knowing Vicky would be supporting mum and baby at home. Vicky was so encouraging and positive which was brilliant for us as first time parents. Lastly, Vicky also supported us on the phone by give really helpful and reassuring responses to messages we sent her when she wasn't with us. We are so grateful for all Vicky's help and highly recommend her to any parents looking for extra support and care!”

“I am so grateful to have had Victoria’s help over the past few months. Having had my second baby, time for myself felt impossible, especially without local family support. I fully recommend Victoria, I instantly felt at ease with her & my little boy was very happy too. Knowing my little one was in safe hands allowed me to have some time for me to breathe, and rest & also to finally tackle some of the never ending “to do” list (and the intense joy of having cups of tea magically appear, bliss!). The best kind of help!”
DA
“We've been working with Vicky as a postnatal doula since the birth of our daughter and we've had an outstanding experience. She has helped us with breastfeeding, emotional support, and lots of assistance around the house. She has put our mind at ease countless times as we become more comfortable as first time parents. We would highly recommend any couple looking for a doula to work with her!”
