Meet Your Doula

Hi, I'm Viktorya, the heart behind Viktorious Women Doula Services.

My journey to becoming a doula began with the birth of my first child in 2013. It was a birth that left me feeling unheard, powerless, and wondering why no one had prepared me for what I experienced. I walked away knowing there had to be another way.

That experience sent me down a path of learning everything I could about pregnancy, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, and informed decision-making. The more I learned, the more I realized how much I hadn't known during my first birth and how different that experience could have been if I had simply been given the information and support I deserved.

My next births looked completely different. Each one taught me something new and helped me grow in confidence. I've experienced a cesarean birth, a hospital VBAC with an epidural, a planned free birth, and a home birth transfer to the hospital that resulted in the most hands-off hospital birth I could have hoped for and most recently, a free birth with a doula. Those experiences have given me a unique perspective and a deep respect for the fact that there is no single "right" way to give birth.

What matters most isn't where or how you give birth.

What matters is that your decisions are informed, your voice is heard, and your birth reflects your values, not someone else's.

I started supporting friends during birth simply because I loved walking beside them. After attending several births, I knew this was more than a passion, it was my calling. In 2019, I completed my doula training and officially founded Viktorious Women Doula Services.

Since then, my goal has never changed.

I don't believe mothers need someone to make decisions for them.

I believe they need someone who will educate them, encourage them, and remind them that they deserve to be part of every decision made about their body and their baby.

As my experience grew, so did my services.

Today I provide comprehensive doula care beginning in the first trimester and continuing through six weeks postpartum. I also offer childbirth education, placenta encapsulation, standalone prenatal and postpartum support, peer lactation support, conception and fertility education, and personalized consultations for families at every stage of their journey.

Outside of birth work, I'm also a homeschooling mom of five and currently pursuing my master's degree in Mental Health and Wellness. Every course I take and every birth I attend deepens my understanding of how to better support families, not only physically, but emotionally as well.

At the end of the day, my mission is simple.

I want every family I serve to feel informed, respected, and supported. Whether your birth is at home, in a birth center, or in the hospital, my role is to walk beside you, help you understand your options, and ensure that your choices remain your own.

It would be an honor to walk this journey with you.
