Victoria Lemmon

Hi, I'm Victoria; I live in North London, Islington, with my husband and two children. My own life journey through conception, birth, loss and motherhood has transformed me, and I am here with a full heart to support birthing women, people and couples on their journey to becoming parents.

 

I changed my career in 2015 and commenced my doula journey by training on the Paramana Doula course taught by the world-renowned birth educators and Obstetrician Michel Odent and Liliana Lammers. This cemented my passion for maternity and new direction. I went on to train with Active Birth teachers Janet Balaskas & Lynn Murphy, leading influencers in birth education and midwifery practices. I joined Doula UK in 2018 in a mentorship program. I have worked as a doula with both private clients and a charity called Happy Baby Community, offering support to pregnant women who have fled violence or traffickers. This was a charity I feel incredibly privileged to be part of.​ ​I worked in the community as a User Rep at our local hospital with the Maternity Voices Partnership (MNVP) for a number of years as well as trained as a breastfeeding helper with the Breast Feeding Network in our local area. I am insured, and DBS checked and actively updated my training through professional development courses :

 

• Biomechanics for Birth training with Molly O Brian

• Trauma-informed care course with Katie Woods

• The Birth Uprising Hypnobirthing Program 2022

• KGH Hypnobirthing in 2024 with Katherine Graves

• Aromatherapy certification for midwives 2024

• Kerstin Small CTG monitoring course 2024

• Rachel Reed reclaiming childbirth Collective 2023 to date

• White Ribbon Alliance training 2024

​

In late 2022, I launched Womb and Bloom London with a group of wonderful friends and colleagues. By September 2023, with the sound encouragement of an Independent midwife friend, I enrolled with KCL University to train as a midwife. My work as a doula is currently on hold.

​

Walking and running in nature, dancing around the kitchen, singing (terribly out of key!) and enjoying food and baking are my other personal passions, but just being and having fun with my family and friends brings me utter joy. I'm a sucker for a self-development book or podcast and especially love reading chapters from A new earth book by Eckhart Tolle. It’s a staple at my bedside table!
