Hello, thanks for visiting my page. I am Vicki, your local doula & birth and baby educator.  I am based in Brackley, Northamptonshire and live with my husband, three crazy but gorgeous children and one very cute Cavapoo. I cover the areas of Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire but please get in touch if you are a little further afield.

​

I was drawn to the world of babies after my own experiences of birth - Induction of Labour, Elective Caesarean & Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC) and those of the new mums I met at the baby classes I went to. Although my husband & I attended 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, recently rebranding as Vicki Wilkinson - Birth & Baby. I currently offer a wide range of pregnancy, antenatal and baby classes from my studio near Buckingham - The Studio At Stowe.

 

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 & Starting Solids. As well as birth focussed training, I have also completed my 200 hours yoga teacher training.

 

​I offer group & private antenatal classes, birth doula services, postnatal doula services, as well as a selection of baby classes which include baby massage, baby yoga and starting solids workshops.

I am also a peer to peer breastfeeding supporter

and have years of experience working alongside parents.  

 

Work with me and I will help guide you through your journey,

whether that is antenatal sessions before birth, being with you

at your birth or supporting you once baby arrives.
