Rooted in Support. Guided by Wisdom.
Nurturing your journey from pregnancy to beyond
Welcome! At Empowered Motherhood Collective, we provide strong, compassionate support throughout one of life’s most transformative journeys. As a birth and postpartum doula, I offer holistic care designed to nurture and empower you from pregnancy to early parenthood. Whether you're preparing for birth, seeking hands-on labor support, or navigating the early days of postpartum, I’m here to walk alongside you with personalized guidance and care that meets you where you are.
We believe it truly takes a village—which is why we’ve begun building a trusted network of local perinatal providers, including therapists, chiropractors, midwives, and more. Together, we help you create a collaborative circle of care that supports your well-being and honors your unique experience.
Meet the Doula
Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Victoria.
I’m honored to support families through one of life’s most profound and powerful transitions.
I hold a Bachelor of Science from Penn State University in Human Development and Family Studies with a focus in Psychology, and I bring that knowledge into my work with a deep understanding of the emotional and relational layers of the perinatal journey.
I am a DONA-trained and certified birth and postpartum doula, currently completing my Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) certification and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy training. Additionally, I am excited to offer Hypnobabies® Hypnobirthing classes starting this summer—a powerful, evidence-based childbirth education program that supports an easier, more comfortable birthing experience.
My path to birth work began with the pregnancy and birth of my son—a deeply transformative experience that reshaped my life and inspired me to support others during this sacred time. That calling led to the creation of Empowered Motherhood Collective, LLC. A future vision of a space where families feel nurtured, seen, and empowered through collaborative care with perinatal professionals from all specialties.
I’ve had the privilege of supporting families from all walks of life—first-time parents, families seeking healing from past birth experiences, and those welcoming multiples. My approach is rooted in continuous emotional, physical, and informational support. I honor your journey and walk alongside you with the intention that you feel safe, informed, and deeply respected.

Why Empowered Motherhood Co.? Because birth is not just a moment—it's a transformation. At Empowered Motherhood Co., I believe that education is essential to feeling confident, calm, and in control throughout your journey. That’s why I offer more prenatal visits than standard doula care—so we have the time and space to build trust, explore your options, and create a plan that supports your unique vision for birth.
During your birthing time, I’ll arrive fully prepared with tools for comfort and support—including a rebozo, TENS unit, aromatherapy, warm and cool compresses, and other evidence-based comfort measures to help you feel grounded and cared for through every wave.
Postpartum visits are a vital part of our work together. These are dedicated times to check in, review your birth experience, answer questions, and ensure that you feel supported and prepared for the transition into postpartum—not just physically but emotionally and practically, too.
Empowered motherhood begins with informed care, compassionate support, and someone by your side every step of the way.
