About Me

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum practitioner | Educator | Birth coach | Nanna (my greatest joy)

I come from a long line of strong, grounded women who’ve brought calm, clarity, and wisdom into birth spaces for generations. It’s in my blood — this drive to support, protect, and truly listen to women.

I’m Vicki Hobbs — a birth coach, educator, and practitioner based in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. I’m also a mother of two fiercely independent daughters who were born 15 years apart, with multiple miscarriages in between. That journey shaped me deeply — teaching me about grief, resilience, choice, and the beauty of individuality.

Watching my daughters grow into confident, kind, and inclusive young women has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. They’ve reminded me of the power of leading with compassion, honouring difference, and always showing up with respect. And now, as a nanna, I’ve entered a new chapter — one filled with immense pride and purpose as I witness the next generation begin their own stories.

Over the years, I’ve studied a wide range of complementary therapies to support women holistically — mind, body, and emotions. I know that no two women are the same, so my approach is all about offering choice, flexibility, and care that truly meets each individual where they are.

I’m a fierce advocate for women’s choices in birth — and unwavering in my mission to reduce birth trauma through education, preparation and respectful support. Every woman deserves to be informed, heard, and in control of her
own journey. That’s what I stand for, and that’s what I bring into every birth space, every class, and every conversation.

In 2004, I took a leap of faith — leaving behind a highly paid corporate hospital job to start my own business as a remedial massage and mind-body therapist. I trusted that everything I had worked for and believed in would guide me forward. Like pregnancy and birth, the journey has been filled with challenges and triumphs, each one shaping the wealth of knowledge and experience that underpins my work today.

Building my business around my family has been no small feat, but it’s something I have mastered. I don’t claim to be perfect or to have all the answers, but I am committed to finding them. I take great care in providing evidence-based information, thoughtful guidance, and genuine support, always striving to exceed expectations and offer true value.

Let me be completely honest—while I love working with women during pregnancy and birth, my focus is not on the baby. My priority is the woman. My approach goes back to basics, ensuring she feels nurtured, safe, and heard.

Not long after starting my business, I recognised a gap—there were no properly trained pregnancy massage therapists in Perth. That realisation led me to further my training and become a highly qualified Pregnancy Massage Specialist. As I worked with more women, I found myself naturally sharing birth knowledge during their massages and was often invited to their births. The next step was clear: I trained as a Childbirth Educator and Doula. What started as a seed of passion grew into a thriving tree—strong, wise, and offering shelter and support to those who seek it.

Today, my work is centred around education, preparation, and informed choices, helping women approach birth with confidence—free from judgment or guilt—so they can embrace their pregnancy and birth with strength and self-assurance.
