Victoria C.
Victoria is a birth doula based in Lake County, where she lives with her husband, their two wonderful children, and a lively mix of three cats and two dogs. Her passion for birth work was born out of her own story. After a traumatic first birth in 2020, she knew she wanted a different experience the next time. When expecting her second child in 2024, she hired a doula—and that decision changed everything. Her second birth was empowering, transformative, and redemptive, inspiring her to walk alongside other families as they welcome new life.
Victoria believes every woman deserves to experience birth as a beautiful and empowering event. She is passionate about the physiology of birth and about equipping mothers and their partners to confidently advocate for the birth they desire. Faith and family ground her, and when she’s not supporting clients, she enjoys sewing, reading, and continually learning new things.
