? 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.

"Where to begin? As a woman executive I had expected parenthood to be another one of those challenges to tackle, and handle with grace. Was I surprised! Had it not been for Vicky, a true Godsend mind you, I know that I would not be the mother and woman I am today. Vicky was a constant source of comfort, support, reassurance, wisdom and love – love for me and my new daughter. Three of the greatest rewards which resulted from Vicky’s services are: 1) Learning how to breastfeed. It’s not natural"   more...

"As a nurse-midwife and recent mother of my fourth child, I knew i wanted what I recommend to all my clients--a wonderful postpartum doula. But how was I to find the right person? Luckily for all of us, we found Vicky York. Vicky immediately put me at ease with her incredible knowledge from handling hundreds and hundreds of newborns in her career, and taught us so many things I wondered how I'd gotten to my fourth child without knowing. From sleep to feeding to breastmilk; from handling clogged d"   more...

"Vicky helped my son and I through a very difficult time. I was trying to breastfeed and was having difficulties. She offered her support and guidance. When the breastfeeding failed due to post pardum depression, breast infections and low milk supply, she was also there to ease that transition. Vicky offered free telephone support to me on several occcasions and was always positive."

"
As our doula, Vicky York helped us provide the best possible beginning for our baby. She began by rearranging travel plans for the day before Thanksgiving so she could meet us in the recovery room after the birth. Her warm, skilled, and confident presence was exactly what we needed at that crucial time. She was an excellent buffer to an insensitive nurse and treated our baby with gentleness and respect. Vicky continued to provide indispensable care for us at home, and even our dog felt the pos"   more...

"I participated in a Postpartum Doula training taught by Vicky in August 2004. Her many years of experience, abundant knowledge, sincere nature, and passion for supporting moms was apparent. Since that time, Vicky has offered me a tremendous amount of advice and support for which I am very grateful.
Vicky has a natural balance of offering advice while validating a mother's choices and preferences. She is truly an expert in breastfeeding as well as newborn care. I believe it is in the interes"   more...
