About Victoria
Victoria is a Hudson Valley based Birth Doula, mother of two, and animal rescue advocate. She worked for over 10 years in the nonprofit educational sector, but her two vastly different birth experiences called her to move into birth work. She supports all birthing people in embracing the power of their bodies and voices to manifest a positive birthing experience. She works with expectant families to craft personalized birth plans, understand their birthing rights and choices, and prepare for labor, birth, and postpartum.
