Vicki Angus - Birth and Postnatal Doula
Grounded support. Empowered birth
Congratulations on your pregnancy 🌿
Whether this is your first baby or you're growing your family, congratulations on this exciting new chapter.
Pregnancy can bring joy, excitement, anticipation and sometimes uncertainty too. You may be wondering what to expect, how to prepare for birth, or simply looking for someone who will listen without judgement and support you every step of the way.
You don't have to navigate it alone.
At Roots & Wings Birthing, I offer personalised, trauma-informed doula support, helping you feel informed, heard, and confident as you prepare to welcome your baby
What is a Doula? 🌿
A doula is someone who provides continuous emotional, practical, and evidence-based support throughout pregnancy, labour, birth, and the early weeks of parenthood.
Unlike your midwife or obstetric team, whose role is to provide your clinical care, a doula is there solely to support you and your family. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you feel informed, heard, and confident as you make the choices that are right for you.
Whether you are planning a hospital birth, home birth, birth centre birth or freebirth, I provide a calm and reassuring presence, offering practical guidance, emotional support, and evidence-based information throughout your journey.
A doula doesn't replace your healthcare team. Instead, we work alongside them, helping you understand your options, advocate for your wishes, and create a birth experience that reflects your individual needs and preferences.
Above all, my role is to ensure you never feel like you're navigating pregnancy or birth alone.
My Approach 🌿
As a trauma-informed doula, I believe there is no single "right" way to give birth.
My role is not to direct your journey, but to walk alongside you. I provide evidence-based information, emotional support, and a calm, reassuring presence so that you can make the choices that feel right for you and your family.
To me, compassionate care means listening without judgement, honouring your experiences, respecting your choices, and creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered.
It would be a privilege to support you as you prepare to welcome your baby into the world.
Support Overview 🌿
Birth Support 🌿
As your birth doula, I'll be by your side through every stage of your labour and birth, wherever you choose to bring your baby into the world, whether that's at home, in a birth centre, or in hospital. My role is to offer continuous, compassionate birth support that helps you feel safe, confident, and genuinely cared for, every step of the way.
Postnatal Support 🌿
The postnatal period is one of the most beautiful, emotional, and exhausting chapters of your life. You're recovering from birth, getting to know your new baby, navigating feeding, adjusting to broken sleep, and trying to find your footing, all at the same time. It's a lot, and it's completely normal to need support.
Night Support 🌿
Sleep deprivation can be one of the hardest parts of those early weeks. As your night doula, I'll take care of your baby overnight so you can get the rest you need. Whether you're breastfeeding or bottle feeding, I'll handle the night feeds, nappy changes, settling, and everything in between.
