Vicky is energetic and warm-hearted and I immediately felt that I can trust her. I can definitely recommend having a doula not only for birth support, but especially for postpartum support.

We found Vicky via her website and after our first time meeting with her knew that we had not only found a Doula but also a great new friend. Both of us felt so comfortable talking to her we had no doubt of using her services during the pregnancy and delivery. The morning after giving birth to Aiden Vicky came to visit us (bringing delicious treats), giving us some great tips and suggestions and to help us complete the paperwork for the birth certificate (she even offered to join us to register Aiden!)

We can highly recommend using her services. She is not only a very knowledgeable Doula but also a great person.

We took Vicky’s prenatal classes and also hired her as our doula. Without a doubt, I wouldn’t have accomplished a natural, drug-free 17-hour labor without Vicky’s help. She and my husband made the perfect team and I felt 100% supported every minute of my labor. Not only did Vicky help make sure I was as comfortable as possible, she acted as a liaison with the hospital staff, which was very helpful considering I don’t speak perfect Spanish. She was also instrumental in helping with breastfeeding in the days after giving birth. If you’re aiming for a natural birth, Vicky should be part of your plan! - Giselle Timmerman

As the husband in this whole affair, I really appreciated the support we received from Vicky. She was really flexible with us during the prenatal class as we had some travel plans that interfered with the regular schedule. Perhaps what I was most appreciative of was the fact that Vicky really made me feel included in the whole process. During the birth especially, Vicky really helped me be there for my wife, making sure that I could stay focused on her, and not the distractions of our surroundings. She also made sure I was fanning, massaging, watering, etc…. my wife correctly. Thanks Vicky! – Julian Timmerman

When I became pregnant I started to look for doula in Barcelona. We are foreigners and my husband travels a lot because of his work. I was afraid that he might not be able to be around on time in case I give the birth earlier. What a huge relief when I found Vicky’s website.

Vicky was great support from the beginning. She is very energetic, happy and friendly person. It is easy to recognise that she is experienced and loves her job very much. I can not thank her enough for her help during my pregnancy and also after the birth. When we had any doubts I was always confident to contact her knowing she is going to help us. During my last weeks of pregnancy my husband worked a lot. It was really nice to know that there is a person I could rely on and I am not alone if something happen.

As we are already planing to have another baby I can definitely say that we will contact Vicky again.

We met Vicky right after we found out about my pregnancy and from the beginning till the birth and -even after the birth- she was a huge help for me and and my husband as well.

She helped us go through all the challenges we faced- being an expat we had a few!- and made sure everything went smoothly before, during, and after the birth.

Me and my hubby took anti natal classes with her. Her calm, positive and loving attitude calmed me down big time, gave me trust and prepared us for our little miracle. I can’t recommend her enough!

I truly believe all couples, especially expat couples need someone like her by their side.

Thank you Vicky

I started to look for a doula a couple of months before my due month. I decided to have a doula at my birth because I wanted a natural birth, someone who knows what to do and esp. who can speak English as I am a foreigner. Vicky was recommended to me via a friend and when I met her, I knew I wanted to work with her. I liked her positive energy, friendliness and easy-going attitude.

Vicky was a great help during the birth as she was advising me what to do according to what was going on and esp. after the birth when she taught me how to breastfeed and answered all my questions I had about the care of a newborn baby.
I am very happy about my decisions to have a doula and to work with Vicky. I strongly recommend her!

Having Vicky as my doula made the last weeks of pregnancy much less stressful as my husband was traveling and I felt secure that Vicky would be there to support me if do go in labor early. She is a very kind and friendly person and I knew I could call her anytime. Her breastfeeding advises were invaluable as they helped me avoid sore nipples.

Definitely would recommend her!

After checking out other Doulas in Barcelona, Vicky came highly recommended from my Dr at Teknon.

Once meeting her, I knew she was the one for me! Easy going and never ever pushy in her opinions. You can instantly tell Vicky loves her work, she truly wants to help you.

Although I didn’t have the natural birth I would of liked, she was still at the hospital doing everything she could.

Not only is she full of knowledge about pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, she will help you in any other way she can too. Vicky was translating, helping my family and filling in forms. All to make my experience of giving birth in a foreign country better.

Vicky is a very kind and thoughtful person, and she does all of this whilst bringing up 3 children of her own!

My experience with Doula Vicky was absolutely incredible! She has the rare combination of extraordinary talent and know-how, deep passion, and love for her work as a Doula. My husband and I were expecting our first child when we sought Vicky’s expertise and Doula services. I am from the USA and have been in Spain conducting research and learning Castellano. Initially, I was very scared about receiving maternity care and delivering our first child in an unfamiliar country, where I was not fluent in the language. Vicky clearly understood my concerns and fears. Her approach was to provide us with information on all procedures and empower us to make our own decisions on the birth process.

When I started to feel contractions, I talked with Doula Vicky about everything my body was feeling and she talked me through how to cope with early labor. Once the contractions got to be more intense, Vicky arrived at our house quickly and walked my husband through preparing everything for the hospital

After the delivery of my daughter, Vicky patiently helped me through the breastfeeding process, which can take some time and be painful without help. I am so grateful for Doula Vicky’s kindness, knowledge and professionalism. Vicky is now a member of our family

I am so very pleased to recommend Vicky’s Doula services to anyone giving birth in Spain particularly if you are not a native Spaniard.

Vicky has been such an important part in our prenatal, birthing and postpartum experience. She is a wealth of knowledge and positivity.

Throughout the entire process she has gone above and beyond to make sure we had the information we needed to be confident in our decisions about our birth and care. She continues to be an amazing support now that the baby has been born, helping with breastfeeding, postpartum care, and a generally fantastic resource.

I don’t know what we would have done without her by our side along the way. Especially during these uncertain and challenging times, she is priceless.
Hope it works.

Thank you again for all your support and guidance!

Vicky is more than a doula, she very quickly became family and helped us both physically and mentally both before and after birth. Despite covid restrictions, Vicky was worth her weight in gold in advise from near and afar. Her experience with twins was paramount in helping us exclusively breastfeed which we are super proud of and grateful to Vicky for!

“ What do you say to someone when “thank you” just isn’t enough? That’s exactly how I feel about all the support Vicky has given me and my husband before, during and after the birth of our first son. From the first moment I met Vicky I was sure she had the right experience and even more important, the heart in the right place, to give us the confidence and guidance during labour. What I did not expect was the countless of tips & tricks she also gave us after our son was born. She really improved all of our well-being those first earthshaking days after labour. I want to thank Vicky from the bottom of my heart for everything she’s done for us, I cannot recommend her enough!

Vicky is a wonderful person. We decided to work with her right there at a cafe where we met for the first time. We didn’t have any doubts. We felt like she was the family. We asked her many questions and liked the way she responded, we liked that she was very open and honest and helpful as well.

Vicky helped us to enroll in the hospital we wanted and she supported us through the whole journey. She was a tremendous help during the delivery and I am so grateful to her to had been telling me “push, push, you can do it!”. I had my husband with me, but he wouldn’t be able to support me in a way I needed it at the very moment when we had difficulties with the baby coming out. He was behind me, close to my head, but Vicky was by my side, encouraging and telling me what to do when it was exactly needed and explaining things that were going on while midwives were working.

I understand Spanish well, and can speak a bit, it would be enough to be able to communicate during the delivery experience. But having a person with you that can be a middle man between you and doctors, can speak for you from the point of a person that knows what has to be done and knows what You want, is very valuable.

I strongly recommend Vicky as a doula. If we ever having a baby again, we will ask Vicky to help us out, no doubts!

Vicky was an absolute blessing in the early days of Chloe’s arrival, and throughout our early months.  Vicky joined us whilst we were still in the hospital to share her breastfeeding expertise, and she quickly being my coach, translator, and champion during some very trying doctor’s visits, not to mention giving regular visits at home to provide support and advice around the many questions we had as new parents.  Vicky feels more like a wonderful and deeply knowledgeable friend that brings love and warmth for both you and your child.  Her calming effect was deeply helpful to our little new family, and her knowledge is significant and diverse.  I cannot imagine my early months with Chloé without thinking of Vicky’s wonderful participation and influence.  She even coached me in the early days of returning to my postpartum fitness- I did the course of hypopressive method and the results were amazing!

she is the most multifaceted mother and child expert I’ve had the pleasure to know.

I can't tell you how much more prepared and assured both my husband and i feel about the impending birth of our first baby. As you know it is such a daunting thought and made particularly harder in a foreign country and different language but after your classes we feel 100% more prepared than we did beforehand. You have changed our mindset to think about all those formally scary things like contractions, water breaking and pain in to positive aspects that we are capable of conquering.

You really are fantastic at what you do and a true gem for all Barcelona mum and mum's to be!

Thank you!
Love, Erin and Kane
