While my husband and I faced significant additional stresses [during the pandemic], we continued to feel safe and confident with Vickie’s support to prepare for and birth in a hospital…We could not have done this without her. Meeting her felt like family- and working with her solidified that relationship…Vickie was an incredible doula. She showed my husband and I how to care for each other, for ourselves and our baby. Anybody would be lucky to have her as their support person. -Rebecca

Vickie was indispensable to me as my doula and I am so thankful to have had her with me during my pregnancy, labor, and delivery. She was a vital source of emotional stability and knowledge that alleviated so much of the stress and fear I experienced while preparing for the birth of my first child...I honestly believe Vickie's presence and skill as a doula made my whole labor experience less stressful and, because of Vickie, one of the most memorable moments that I could have asked for. -Anna

When I think back to the day and night and day of our baby’s birth, I feel so incredibly grateful to Vickie…Vickie made the delivery room ours- making the space quiet, or dark as necessary, keeping me moving and active despite the wires (which I had told her were a priority), and being a source of extreme calm and reassurance…Vickie filled the birth space with confidence, good-spirit and energy- to her pregnancy are birth are such joyful, meaningful, beautiful parts of life that she helps you feel that too, even during tough moments. Vickie also approaches pregnancy and birth in a non-gendered way, which we appreciated. -Caitlin

We are so deeply thankful for the warm and attentive care that Vickie provided us… I was amazed by how calm I felt despite the intensity of my labor. I attribute this to Vickie- she helped me get into a positive headspace with the coping techniques she offered throughout. In the postnatal visits, Vickie helped us feel less overwhelmed with the perfect balance of answering our many questions and holding our baby while we rested… Any family that works with Vickie will be in capable loving hands and will be lucky to have her. We cannot recommend her highly enough. -Jenny

Choosing Vickie as our doula was one of the best decisions my wife and I made during our pregnancy and birthing journey…Vickie has the capacity to both validate feelings and provide information based in evidence that allowed us to make the right decisions for our family…She was incredibly in tune with our needs and knew when to jump in to give me a massage, when to give words of encouragement, when to distract with a story, and when to step back and let my wife and I be together. There is no ego in her work- she is completely in service of you and your needs during this intensely vulnerable process. -Sophie

From the moment I met Vickie, it felt like we’d known each other for years. I found her to be deeply caring and completely nonjudgmental. Nurturing new mothers and helping us navigate these early weeks is clearly a passion for her. I had a lot of trouble early on with breastfeeding…Her approach is hardly transactional - I feel like we have built a relationship and I look forward to continuing to know her and communicate with her. My breastfeeding woes have thanksfully been resolved and feeding my baby is the highlight of my entire day. I’m so thankful for Vickie’s help and empathy while I was struggling. -Sai
