? Profile

As a postpartum doula/lactation consultant I offer emotional, physical and informational support to new mothers. I have had considerable experience working with twins, preemies, adoptions, LGTB couples, first time mothers to eighth time mothers, since 1992, having worked with nearly 600 families in Oregon. As a new mom you can expect resources and/or direct care with postpartum depression and other perinatal mood disorders as well as help with home management and organization of nursery and other areas of the house to make parenting more efficient and enjoyable.

My mission is to care for and educate the new mother and father so they can confidently nurture their baby. Anyone expecting their first baby or multiples can benefit from the expertise of a trained and certified doula and lactation consultant.

"What can I say about Vicky? She was a Godsend in a sea of confusion and stress. I was recovering from a c-section and having horrible latching issues and Vicky guided me through every possible problem and scenario. She allowed me to mother my child and to learn how to best deal with every situation. She never once "took over" or imposed something I couldnt do or handle. Her vast knowledge of baby development as well as lactation expertise made her so valuable to me as a doula. It took almost 3 m"   more...

"Vicky is a fantastic postpartum doula and lactation consultant. She helped us so much in the first days with our newborn, helping me to get the baby's latch just right and boosting my confidence as a new mother with things like bathing, swaddling, sleep needs and taking care of myself. She strikes just the right balance between showing the new mom what to do and helping her to do it herself. As a midwife, I recommend her to all of my clients. As a mother, I recommend her to all of my friends"   more...

"Vicky came to our rescue! We were determined to breastfeed and had trouble off the bat. The nurses at the hospital pushed formula the day after our baby girl was born. After we met the lactation consultant at the hospital we decided to call Vicky. Although she was busy she fit us in and came by while we were still at Providence.

Vicky's visits in the early days were invaluable. Not only did we succeed in nursing, she was able to point things out to help with our newborn. Her advice an"   more...

"If you want to breastfeed, and you run into any problems at all, get help as quickly as you can. Whatever strategies you adopt will take a little while to get working, and you can’t overestimate how exhausted the birth and the first few days may leave you.

If you’re in Portland, we can’t recommend Vicky York highly enough. At several critical points she taught my wife and me new tricks that kept us going when we were close to giving up. She attended to our needs like a family member, even s"   more...

"I am a midwife recently turned mama and for the last year I have been referring clients to Vicky for postpartum support and breastfeeding assistance... an easy habit to create for the incredible feedback that new mamas have continually given me! Alas, with the recent birth of my son, I had the opportunity for my very own experience with Vicky's palpable passion for getting new families off to a good start! Vicky's sincere presence and honest ability to meet me where I was at were exactly what "   more...
