Comment: I cannot recommend Vickie too highly, she is wise and wonderful and made the birth of our baby a glorious event. During my pregnancy she was always available, nothing was ever too much trouble and the emotional support she gave me and my partner was beyond price. During labour and birth Vickie was a tower of strength and her encouragement and practical suggestions were invaluable. Vickie has a fabulous sense of humour and puts EVERYONE at ease. Book her as soon as you can!

Comment: I cannot imagine a person better able to provide this support to mothers-to-be. Your knowledge, common sense, warmth, caring nature and sense of humour would make the whole experience so wonderful - I wish I had had your services when I was having Amy.Judy

Comment: The knowledge, care, love, warmth and support, along with that fantastic sense of humour when most needed that my kids and I have experienced with Vickie over the years reinforces to me that the mothers to be or new mums who have Vickie as their Doula will be the happiest mums in Canberra. All the best Vickie, you are truly inspirational in your quest to enrich others lives.

Comment: Hi Vickie, I just wanted to say publicly how wonderful it was having you at Mikaela's birth. Thanks again for your support, it was invaluable.Kirsten PS I like your new look website.

Comment: Vickie’s support, knowledge, resources and nurturing attitude took me from feeling fearful about the birth to my going into labour feeling calm and confident. Edie was born quickly and naturally – a fantastic experience for me, Shane and our baby. I believe this was largely due to Vickie’s encouragement, physical support and calm constant presence.

Comment: Kristen and I saw the benefits of a doula after we researched having a baby. We realised that employing a professional who is an ongoing, continuous support throughout pregnancy, labour and the birthing process could fill some of the gaps we could see in the health system. We were like most people, I would think, who decide to have a baby – fairly naive to the best approach. But through education and the confidence that we developed through our dealings with Vickie at Confident Birth, we are absolutely elated with the outcome. I suggest expectant parents look beyond the idea that paying thousands of dollars for private health care is always going to be the best means of care, and consider hiring a doula

Comment: For less than the cost of a weekend away, Vickie helped us achieve the kind of calm birth we'd dreamed of. Her constant loving support, encourgement, wisdom and sense of humour gave us the confidence we needed. We would not consider having another baby without a doula.

Comment: If you're wondering if a Doula is right for you, from my experience with Vickie, the answer is that you would be crazy not to have one. The first time we met Vickie with her georgous smile we felt a huge weight lifted as all our fears and concerns just seemed to disappear. Vickie is a wonderful person with a very special gift, she taught me to trust my instincts and having a familar face turn up on our big day made all the difference to me and my partner. I cannot recommend Vickie higly enough.

Comment: Vickie is one in a million, at our very first meeting her warmth and wisdom filled us with confidence. She soothed and educated us, was always there for us and gave us calm constant support we could not have dreamed of. Our baby's birth was gentle and peaceful and exactly as we had hoped, Vickie always knew just what was needed and never left my side, except when she instinctively knew that we needed some time alone. I needed no medical pain relief, Vickie's famous doula bag always had something in it to make me comfortable. Vickie works in harmony with hospital staff and is great dealing with anxious grandparents. My advice to pregnant women in Canberra - call Vickie NOW.  I can't imagine giving birth without her.

Comment: Engaging Vickie as our Doula is one of the best decisions I have ever made. The knowledge and support she provided before, during and after our baby's birth was outstanding. I recommend Vickie to anyone who wants the very best possible labour and birth for themselves and their baby.
