My partner and I met Vicki the day I went into labor. I had requested a Doula through The Doula Project and through serendipity and divine timing, I was paired with Vicki the morning that my son decided to arrive. I do believe it had something to do with the calm and safe support I felt after meeting her.

Vicki provided realistic, educated, and experienced answers to all my questions and I felt so comfortable that she was my ally in making my birth experience exactly how I wanted it. Throughout pregnancy I was dedicated to having a natural birth, and insistent on not delivering on my back. Because Vicki was so experienced in the hospital experience and how to navigate with nurses and midwives in the room and in real time, she knew how to interpret my needs when I wasn’t able to. I am so grateful Vicki was in the room with us.
