Hi, I’m Natalia, a birth doula who supports families with presence, calm, and care during one of the most transformative moments of their lives. My calling is rooted in a deep love for emotional support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, as well as a profound respect for the physiological and ancestral wisdom of birth. My journey began while studying nursing in my home country, where clinical practice awakened a strong respect for the human body. I later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences, giving me a solid foundation in anatomy, physiological processes, and interdisciplinary collaboration. While my role as a doula is non-medical, this background allows me to communicate effectively with clinical teams and provide holistic, clear, and evidence-informed support. I’m passionate about non-medical approaches that support the natural progression of labor, as well as the mindset, calm, and inner focus that help birthing people move through labor with confidence and empowerment. I deeply believe that everyone deserves a respectful, informed, and supported birth, and my approach is gentle, warm, and connection-centered. // Hola, soy Natalia, doula de parto, y acompaño a las familias con presencia, calma y cuidado en uno de los momentos más transformadores de sus vidas. Mi vocación nace del amor por el acompañamiento emocional durante la gestación, el parto y el posparto, y de un profundo respeto por la sabiduría fisiológica y ancestral del nacimiento. Mi camino comenzó estudiando enfermería en mi país y realizando prácticas clínicas que despertaron en mí un gran respeto por el cuerpo humano. Más adelante, completé un Bachillerato en Ciencias de la Salud, lo que me brindó una base sólida en anatomía, procesos fisiológicos y trabajo interdisciplinario. Aunque mi rol como doula no es médico, esta formación me permite colaborar con el equipo de salud y ofrecer un apoyo integral, claro y respetuoso. Me apasiona aprender y aplicar formas no médicas de apoyar la progresión natural del parto, así como la mentalidad, la calma y el enfoque interior que ayudan a atravesarlo con confianza y poder. Creo profundamente que cada persona merece un parto informado, respetado y acompañado, y mi enfoque es suave, cercano y basado en la conexión.

Hi, I'm Victoria, also known as VicTheDoula, and I am the proud owner of The Crowned Nest Doula Company. As a dedicated doula, my mission is to support birthing individuals through their unique pregnancy journeys. Primarily, I offer remote doula services via text, calls, and Zoom meetings, ensuring that you have the guidance and support you need from the comfort of your own home. While I may occasionally offer in-person support on a case-by-case basis, my focus is on providing accessible care tailored to your needs. Though I do not have biological children, I am a loving mom of one and a foster/adoptive parent. My passion for becoming a doula stems from my experiences as a queer woman of color, where I have witnessed firsthand how the medical field can sometimes disadvantage women of color. With rising statistics highlighting these disparities, I felt compelled to advocate for those who may feel voiceless. I proudly support all couples and single parents, and my identity within the LGBTQIA+ community brings a unique perspective to my services. If you're seeking a remote doula who can be a steadfast rock during your time of need, provide valuable resources, and assist you and your partner in your journey to parenthood, I am here for you. Let's embark on this beautiful journey together!

Victoria was my doula for my pregnancy. As my sister I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else besides her to be there with me. Remotely and in person she was an amazing resource. When having complications while laboring doctors were ignoring my concerns. Vic quickly stepped in and had doctors realize something was wrong. Due to her diligence we realized my baby had already passed his meconium and an extra team needed to be present at his birth. I ended up having a c section of 25 hrs of laboring but Vic was right there cheering me on. Her being there for the birth of her nephew was pure magical. Best doula ever.
