Victoria is truly a gem. We utilized her postpartum night doula services & she was so thoughtful and caring to me, my husband & our new daughter. She went above and beyond with gifts, notes & tasks around the house. She is just a wonderful doula and such a kind person. We truly loved having her.

If you are thinking of working with Victoria, I would 1000% recommend her. She is one of the kindest, most caring, loving and dedicated doulas we worked with. She is one of those people who was just born to take care of babies. You can tell she loves her job. she took such amazing care of our baby boy so that the rest of us could get some much needed sleep. We used her for both overnights and daytime help and it was one of the best decisions we made. We are truly grateful for our time with her and all the help she gave us!

We have had the pleasure of working with Victoria since the birth of our second son. She has been helping us overnight, caring for the baby so that we can get some much needed rest. We feel very comfortable knowing that our son is safe in her care at night. We always get a very detailed summary of how their night went together and updates on how he is doing as well as recommendations to help him thrive. In addition to caring for our son, she also lends a helping hand any way she can in the way of tidying, dishes, washing bottles and pumps, etc. She is always offering to help in any way possible and has a kind and welcoming personality that always makes us feel at ease. We are so grateful to have her help during this big transition in our family!

Our time with Victoria was absolutely amazing! She came in at a time where our family was in great need of assistance. We had 4 month old twins, a toddler, and I was under doctor's orders of not lifting anything over 10lbs following an appendectomy. Victoria came in and immediately knew where to plug in and help, whether that was feeding a baby, playing with our toddler, or doing some housework. It was incredible to have extra hands in the house especially since my physical abilities were limited. Victoria has a great sense of humor and was always willing to be a listening ear. We will be forever grateful for her help during this trying time!

Absolute God send. I couldn't have made it through this postpartum experience with Grace without Victoria's help. She knew what I needed before I even knew it. She helped reset my life on a weekly basis mentally and physically by organizing and making things make sense, delicious meals and nutritious snacks and offered an ear through some stressful times. As if that wasn't enough she made sure to leave us in amazing hands as we transition to a full time nanny. Victoria is the total package, kind, caring, knowledgeable, great cook, amazing with toddlers and even better with postpartum moms. We couldn't be more grateful and sad that our time is coming to an end.

We contacted Victoria days after our baby was born. I didn't anticipate needing an overnight doula (or any help at all) as I spent over a decade caring for others' children. However, overtiredness and hormone fluctuations were besting my attempts to keep unruly anxiety at bay and I knew that having help was better for my mental health and would ultimately give my daughter a more stable parent. Victoria was kind, caring, understanding and answered all my questions. She offered to help with contacting other doulas as needed to help fill any gaps of coverage we might need. She was sweet with our girl, sweet with me (and I needed a gentle energy those early days) and made us feel safe, secure and able to get some night time rest. I knew our baby was in experienced and caring care and would 1000%, 100/10 recommend Victoria to anyone looking for some support, day or night!

Victoria is a model postpartum doula. The first day she came to our house, she started working on dishes and tidying the kitchen without asking. She had no problem walking in and getting acclimated to the setup and needs in the house. When I handed her my son so I could take a nap, she was so incredibly nurturing and patient with him. I had no qualms at all about getting back upstairs to rest because I knew my baby was in good hands. Bonus is that she has a background in infant sleep, so she's been a helpful resource for us with sleep shaping and developing routines to get my son set up for sleep success. We've continued to see Victoria once a week every couple weeks and she is always helpful with tidying and organizing. She does a fantastic job snuggling and playing with my son. I can't recommend her enough. She's been integral to our family's start as a party of 4.
