We’ve raised £1,450 for the Womb & Bloom Access Fund from running 23k last weekend. I’m not sure how but I managed 2.21mins. Thank you all so much for your really generous contributions. Your support means the world to me and us all, and it’s given a much-needed lift to do it again!

This year’s run was super tough, I haven’t managed the time between studying and working full-time as a student midwife to train. Studying has been physically and emotionally exhausting. I genuinely didn’t think I’d make it to the finish line. This Ben Howard song Keep Your Head Up, has been a source of strength for me over the last decade — from walking in and out of IVF clinic week after week, to now, 10 years on, having co-created this platform with such inspiring women and supporting such courageous, gorgeous clients. I played it over and over as I ran around Hackney!

The money raised will stay in our Womb & Bloom account and be used to support women, birthing people, and families to access our services at a cost they can afford when finances are limited. Within the collective, the doulas and specialists work together to meet each request with care and flexibility and support for each other and the client.

One ripple at a time is the saying from and it’s exactly that.

With love and solidarity,
Victoria ❀

A beautiful review from a client who was able to access our fund to fit her budget to book two doulas for her healing homebirth.

Welcome 2025! May it be filled peace worldwide where fear takes a step back to bring forth the love and light.

I’m Victoria to founder of W&B platform with a wonderful group of birthworkers- doulas, independent midwives and specialist practitioners. We are busy behind the scenes working autonomously but share a group space on our platform to support each other and the clients we share. W&B is not a business, it is a collective to work together to build a village of support around all women and birthing people and offer an access fund where we can provide support for women and birthing people who cannot reach these private services.

I am in my second year as a second midwife so have been quiet on this feed while immersed in books, learning and working.

Today I lost all my photos so I am drawing on this one I took Britain last week at the 80’s exhibition.

On 5 September 1981, a group of women marched from Cardiff to the Royal Air Force base at Greenham Common in Berkshire. For 19 years, Greenham Common became a Women’s Peace Camp and a site of protest and home to thousands of women. They used their identities as mothers and carers to fight for the protection of future generations and inspired protest movements across the world.

Last year we managed a number of gatherings with guest speakers and 2025 will follow with more throughout the year. Watch this space for updates and info or check out our website to book.

With best wishes Victoria and all of us at W&B platform. X

We have received another testimonial from a recent client supported by doula Sara and funded through the w&b access fund.

Our access fund is built by sponsored runs, workshops, gatherings and classes held in the womb and bloom home studio and services booked through our website. The pot is growing and we are learning to grow with it.

This is a testimony from the client. We have now supported 10 women and families with support in pregnancy, birth and postnatal period with another just booked over December.

“When I fell pregnant with my 5th child I knew I wanted something different for myself, after 3 inductions I was very fed up with hospitals and hospital births and the pressure and anxiety that it has caused. Due to my family situation I couldn’t afford a doula and I accessed the W&B support fund who put me in touch with Sara . She offered me a manageable package which made having the support I needed available to me which was amazing. I wish I had known about this during my previous births. Sara spent time during my antenatal appointment helping me to think carefully about the type of birth I wanted to have and I found it really helpful to focus in on what exactly I want and that it was possible for me. My homebirth labour was very relaxing- so much so that I didn’t realise I was so far progressed and called Sara ( and the midwife’s) a touch too late ending in a birth before arrival, Sara arrived a few minutes after my delivery and i straight away felt supported and calm, she helped my partner think of things I would need (like tea and food). I think Sara’s support helped me feel empowered and supported that an unmedicated birth was something I could do and I did! Thank you so much for being a calm and respectful and consistent voice during my pregnancy”.

We are thrilled to be able to recommend her services to you all and the clients we are working with to offer a village of rounded support.

đŸ«„Osteopathy during PregnancyđŸ€°

Pregnancy brings about significant changes in your body, many of which can result in discomfort or pain.

Osteopathic treatment can help address pregnancy-related musculoskeletal issues, such as back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and postural changes. By focusing on gentle techniques, osteopathy can help alleviate discomfort and improve your overall well-being during pregnancy.

Osteopathic care during pregnancy aims to:
‣ Support the body as it undergoes physiological changes
‣ Help relieve common pregnancy-related discomforts, including back pain, pelvic pain, and general aches.
‣ Provide relief from muscle tension and improve circulation.
‣ Promote relaxation and reduce stress, which can be beneficial for both mother and baby.

I use a combination of osteopathic treatment, therapeutic massage and Rebozo. These treatments are designed to support your body through the physical and emotional demands of pregnancy.

I can offer treatments in the comfort of your own home, or at in North London.

Yesterday completed the end of year one of my midwifery training. A pause to reflect and recharge plus some quality time with my loved ones.

When I arrived home from a long shift last night, I was greeted by party poppers, champagne, a banner made by my children, and warm cake for dinner!

I couldn’t do this without them. My family. They are the reason I’m on this path and why I can and will get through.

There’s been a lot of tears- happy and sad.

The happy tears are for every occasion I say goodbye to a family after a positive birth experience. We hug as we celebrate the powerful arrival of new life, their new addition. When I say positive, I mean one where the women and family feel listened to, in control of the experience and given the options to weigh up what feels right. Whether it’s been a water birth, a physiological birth on land on all fours, an epidural and vaginal delivery or a caesarean birth.

I cry happy tears for the gorgeous midwives young and old that I get to work alongside who take the time to support and care unconditionally for women and families. The midwife that takes a seat on the end of the bed to talk therough a difficult circumstance even when she has 8 other beds to contend to and a long, hectic shift ahead.

I cry sad tears out of frustration of the burnout, exhaustion and fatigue I witness with so many midwives. The effect that has on us as students learning in practice and the lack of good quality care and information given to service users. I cry over the culture of midwifery, the long hours, lack of breaks, pressure, lack of support. I despair of the debt that so many newly qualified midwives carry to start the profession, to live in this expensive city and repay the loans, taking on bank shifts and long days to the detriment of their mental health and wellbeing.

More and more I recognise the importance of midwives and doulas working closer together to support women, birthers and families in and outside the hospital setting.
It’s teamwork with clients at the heart of the care where midwives and doulas can also support each other.
