Victoria Meehan
She/They
Postpartum Doula & Infant Sleep Coach
"My goal is to make sure the whole family's needs are being met, alongside the needs of their babies. Postpartum can often be overlooked, and can feel isolating and overwhelming. I decided to make this career change after noticing the effects on families who never received the benefits of postpartum support, and that I could make a tremendous impact on the wellbeing of the whole family".

Victoria offers a broad range of experience and support, from her trainings and various life-experiences, including being there for others during some of their most difficult moments - loss & grief. "After losing my own Mother, I felt compelled to give grieving families opportunities to speak about their experiences, to help them feel like they are not alone as they go through difficult times".
