About me

I'm Victoria — a DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula, Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing Instructor, and trained in Craniosacral Fascial Therapy! My journey into birth work began with my own transformative postpartum experience as a mother, which inspired me to support others through the deeply personal and powerful seasons of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. I take a wholistic approach that centers each family’s unique needs with care and compassion. With a strong focus on maternal mental health and emotional well-being, I’m a dedicated advocate for informed, empowered choices and gentle, supportive care. I believe that when we nurture the mother, we nurture the entire family — and it’s my honor to hold space for both the beauty and the challenges of this life-changing journey.

Service introduction

Empowered Motherhood Co offers holistic, family-centered support for every stage of your journey — from pregnancy through postpartum. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating early feeding, or adjusting to life with a new baby, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassionate, evidence-based care. **Birth Support** I provide continuous, personalized support during labor and birth. This includes up to 5 prenatal visits to prepare for your birth experience, on-call availability, and a postpartum visit to process your experience and offer continued support. **Lactation & Feeding Support** I offer guidance with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, and all things infant feeding. Whether you're facing challenges or just want reassurance, I’m here to support you with practical help and judgment-free care. **Postpartum Support** My postpartum doula care is centered around nurturing you as a new parent. I provide emotional support, newborn care guidance, feeding assistance, and help with the day-to-day so you can rest, recover, and bond with your baby. (currently only taking postpartum clients that I have worked with as birth clients) **Hypnobabies Hypnobirthing Classes** I teach comprehensive childbirth education using self-hypnosis techniques for a more comfortable, empowered birth. My group and private class options help you and your partner prepare for a calm, confident birth experience. **Craniosacral Fascial Therapy** I offer gentle, energy work that supports the nervous system and releases fascial restrictions to promote balance, comfort, and healing. My individualized and family-centered sessions are designed to help you feel relaxed, supported, and more connected to your body’s natural ability to restore and regulate. Let’s create a support plan that fits your unique needs and values — I’m honored to be a part of your journey!
