Hello!! Thank you for taking the time to find out more about my journey into birthwork.
​
I was drawn to the world of babies after my own experiences of birth and those of the new mums I met at the baby classes I attended. Although my husband & I went to antenatal classes with our first, we still felt incredibly unprepared for birth and life with a newborn. And, after speaking to lots of other new parents, I realised just how different birth & parenthood can be - it simply isn't a case of one fits all! So late one night after a lot of soul searching, my passion for birth was ignited when I signed up to train as an Antenatal Teacher. My aim was (and still is) to provide unconditional & unbiased support to new parents.
​
It was on this journey, I discovered my love of baby classes (who knew I was a closet Cbeebies presenter!). I try to make sure my baby classes are fun, relaxed but informative. I have also had the pleasure of training many other baby class teachers over the years, developing class plans to be used nationally.
​
A decade on, I still love all things pregnancy & baby related. I am passionate about ensuring parents have access to credible, evidence based information & that they feel empowered to make decisions & choices that are right for them and their baby.
My business was established in 2013, originally known as The Daisy Foundation - Buckingham, Brackley & Towcester, rebranding in 2022 as Vicki Wilkinson - Birth & Baby. I currently offer a wide range of pregnancy, antenatal and baby services across Northamptonshire & Buckinghamshire.
In 2022, I completed my birth & postnatal doula training and now combine my knowledge and experience to provide support within the birthing environment. I feel it is incredibly important to keep my knowledge up to date, and have completed further training in Aromatherapy for Childbirth, Holistic Sleep for Infants, Water Birth - Knowing Your Rights, Biomechanics for Birth, Essential Knowledge for Preventing Maternal Suicide, Laid back Feeding & Starting Solids. I am also volunteer at my local breastfeeding support group.
As well as birth focussed training, I have also completed my 200 hours Yoga Teacher Training & my 85 hour Prenatal Yoga Training.
​I offer group & private antenatal classes, birth & postnatal doula services, baby massage & starting solids workshops.I am also a peer to peer breastfeeding supporter
and have years of experience supporting expectant & new
parents.
Work with me and I will help guide you through your journey,
whether that is antenatal sessions before birth, being by your
side at your birth or supporting you once baby arrives.
