I practice trauma informed, perinatal, birth, and postpartum support for all birthing bodies, couples, single and single by choice parents, adoptive parents, and families on their surrogacy journeys. My support is queer competent, weight inclusive and intersectional, and it is always my priority to support people getting the care that helps them feel safe and seen, essential to the health and wellness of both baby and family. I know first hand how beautiful, challenging and exhausting childbirth and parenting is, and I come with a wealth of personal and professional experience to share with you.

Melanie Guymon is a superb doula. She spent nights with our little bub for 2+months, she gave us a reprieve and support during the difficult newborn days hard. We had a colicky baby and Melanie not only helped us advocate to our doctors that our baby might have reflux, but she also gave us superb tips on how to help ease her discomfort at night and during the day.  During her time with us Melanie also helped us prepare our baby to move out of the swaddle, and due to her tips, our baby seamlessly transitioned from her Snoo + bassinet and into her crib and a sleep sack. She continued to support us with sleep coaching as well, helping us with our babies sleep schedule, which has allowed our baby to sleep better than all of our other baby friends in a similar age range. We had Melanie start with us around the 6 week mark due to our postpartum schedule, and she was with us until just under 4 months. We could not have done this journey without her.

Anyone wanting to feel confident and supported in their birth experience I highly recommend adding Victoria to your team. We used Victoria as a doula for our second daughter and from the moment she was hired, access to her vast knowledge base brought so much comfort. She provided a listening ear, and a safe place for talking through my goals and fears surrounding birth. I appreciated her low pressure check ins from an experienced mom who understood the ups and downs on pregnancy. I was in prodromal labor for weeks and though there were quite a few false alarms, I never felt like burden. Including on our daughter’s birthday, we really had to fight to keep my body in labor. Victoria had continuous suggestions and kept us encouraged the whole 14 hour day. Her reminders of my goal to birth without interventions, affirmations that I was strong enough to do it and the untiring counterpressure were instrumental in me having the birth experience I wanted. She also captured beautiful photos and video of the day, did a newborn shoot, encapsulated my placenta, and to go above and beyond; surprised us the next day with a little birthday cake she baked for our new little girl. Everyone deserves a Victoria!

My experience with Bridgette was fantastic. My main reason for using a doula was I wanted someone in the birth room to be a fierce advocate while I was medicated and in pain and unable to advocate for myself. She was that and so much more. I had to push for 4 hours to get my little one out after already being in labor for 18 hours. The doctor said I was close to needing the vacuum to get her out and I credit Bridgette's knowledge, encouragement of frequent position changes while pushing and encouragement to keep hydrated and nourished with clear liquids to why I was able to get my little one out without the vacuum. Another thing that was a great help was giving my overwhelmed partner guidance on the best ways of helping me and keeping him calm and involved in a stressful situation. In addition to that she got the BEST pictures of the delivery while respecting the fact I didn't want any from the angle you could see my more intimate areas. I'll cherish those pictures forever. My birth was a beautiful wonderful experience. I have to credit part of it to luck but the majority of it to Bridgette.

We are beyond grateful to have had Bethany as our doula throughout our first pregnancy and postpartum journey. From the very beginning, she brought such a beautiful balance of knowledge, compassion, and cultural awareness into our experience. As a Filipino family, it meant so much to us that Bethany honored and valued our ancestral Filipino heritage in her care. She made space for traditions, cultural practices, and generational wisdom in a way that felt deeply respectful and affirming. It truly made our journey feel more connected, grounded, and meaningful. One of the things we appreciated most was Bethany’s incredible patience, calmness, and grounding energy. During moments that felt overwhelming, she had a way of centering us and bringing peace into the space. Her presence alone was reassuring and made us feel supported every step of the way. Bethany was also incredibly flexible and patient with our ever-changing schedules, always meeting us with understanding, grace, and genuine care. No matter how hectic things became, she consistently showed up for us with consistency and heart. We also loved her knowledge around nourishing meal and drink preparation throughout my pregnancy. Her thoughtful recipes and recommendations helped me feel supported physically and emotionally, and made taking care of my body feel intentional and empowering. Her incorporation of sound bowl therapy, along with guided meditative yoga for both my partner and me, was another beautiful and meaningful part of her care. These sessions created space for deep relaxation, emotional release, and spiritual grounding. We cherished those moments of stillness and connection, feeling more bonded to each other and to our baby during those times. We’re especially thankful that we were connected to her through one of our own cousins—it feels like such a blessing that our paths crossed. Having someone we could trust so deeply during such a vulnerable and transformative season made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better doula and are forever grateful for the role Bethany played in welcoming our baby and supporting our family. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, culturally conscious, and dependable support.
