Meet Victoria Rose
I am Victoria Rose, the doula within the YFN team. I aspire to always be learning and training in the childbirth process. I provide emotional, physical, and educational support to mothers who are expecting, experiencing labor, or have given birth. I have a passion for helping women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience and postpartum recovery.
My desire to become a YFN Self Care Master sparked from my own process of recovery from postpartum depression/anxiety/psychosis. Each person is unique and receives their own program.
Focuses include nutrition, aromatherapy, exercise, stretching, Rebozo techniques, creating mothering community groups, postpartum doula services, hydrotherapy, baby-wearing classes, light meal prep, herbal teas, herbal oils, photography connections, referrals for lactation coaching, and referrals for prenatal massage therapists.

Community resources
The goal of this guide is to offer valuable insights, practical advice, and heartfelt encouragement to help you navigate the path toward a positive birth experience. From understanding the various options available to you to creating a birth plan that aligns with your desires, we will delve into the intricate details that will empower you to make informed decisions.
Available ONLINE via Zoom or in person. Sometimes it is not possible or desirable for a family to participate in a group childbirth education class. One of the options is private childbirth education. Our private childbirth education classes are also perfect for moms on bed rest.
Postpartum Planning Workshop Group (90 mins)
A postpartum plan involves deciding ahead of time with your partner what postpartum and early parenting might look like and how you and your partner handle differences of opinion. Who will be in charge of the household chores? What do each of you expect your partner to do? Where will your baby sleep? When should visitors plan to come? Who will walk the dog? How will you feed your baby? Having these conversations with your partner, family, and friends now will help you have a more enjoyable postpartum experience.
Like your birth plan, your postpartum plan is a flexible, fluid document. What you expect to do may not be what ends up working best for your family, and that’s perfectly okay. But having a plan to serve as your guidelines will be a tool you appreciate for those first six weeks and beyond.
