The first couple of months for Refuge as a solo practice have been really seamless and wonderful. I miss being a dynamic duo, but the change of pace to a slower practice has been so revitalizing.

Our healthcare system makes community midwifery, an already challenging job, unimaginably harder. To be able to keep Refuge Midwifery an option for families at a pace that keeps me a happy and balanced midwife is actually a dream.

To that end I’ve really been enjoying my “social media only when it feels fun” approach 😎 Any inquiries or consultations, please send them my way via the website!

Love,
Victoria and every pet assistant I’ve ever had

Sonny made his arrival on a gorgeous morning, only hearing the sound of his powerful and calm parents. Now of course his days are filled with the sounds of big siblings both human and canine 😉

Thanks for the support and excellent vibes. I wish all birth workers could experience births like this one and feel how profound and peaceful it can be.

Welcome to our new friend, Sunshine ☀️

Aptly named he was sunny side up for a good while in labor, but the incredible support of this parent’s sister and the incredible opportunity to see as labor support, we got him turned around.

Solo parents are never actually solo; you need your community to expand and be dynamic enough to hold you and it’s a privilege to see it in action.

Happy one week arrival to baby Dilla!

Such a classic second baby move to have the tub all set up and be born in the bathroom 😅 thanks to Ebony the incredible doula she got this very asynclitic baby to adjust very quickly, hence the change of scenery.

Thanks dream team!

And welcoming Magnolia, our third Refuge repeat client of April 🌸

It’s such a pleasure to see the same families grow and change, and to watch babies the we catch grow into incredible toddlers. Magnolia was also the last baby Ray got to catch before retiring, so a really special birth all around!

Say hello to Charley 🥹

This was the second time we’ve gotten to care for a fellow midwife and friend. Charley was born in the middle of a huge thunder and lightning storm, perfect for an Aries arrival!

Welcome little buddy ✨

Happy Day of the Midwife! Did I forget until someone texted me? Yes!

To celebrate, here’s my favorite photo of the year caught by . It reminds me of a town’s square painting in a fine art museum 😆
