About Vicki Hobbs

I am one in a long line of wise and experienced women who bring calm and clarity to the birth space, so you can fee safe, supported and listened to.

My name is Vicki Hobbs and I am a pregnancy, birth and postpartum specialist in the northern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. I am also a mother of two amazing daughters. With 15 years and several miscarriages in between them, they have taught me so much about life changes, patience and respect for people as unique individuals.

Taking the fear out of birth,
through education, planning and preparation.

The road less travelled….
In 2004 I made the big scary leap from a well-paying corporate hospital job to start my own business as a remedial massage and mind / body therapist. I trusted that everything I worked for and believed in would guide me to success. That journey involved many ups and downs, just like pregnancy and birth, but has also given the abundance of learning and experience I needed to be in my successful pregnancy and birth business today.

I’ve worked incredibly hard to build my business around my family and to contribute to our family income doing something that I not only love but thrive in. I don’t profess to be perfect or to know everything, but I certainly work hard to provide answers to your questions and endeavour to go above and beyond expectations to give you value for money.

Let me be completely honest with you now. As much as I love working with women having babies, my focus is not on the babies – it is all about going back to basics and focusing on the woman so she feels nurtured, safe and listened to.

Not long after starting my business I soon recognised that there were no properly trained pregnancy massage therapists in Perth. That inspired me to do more training and I became a highly qualified Pregnancy Massage Specialist. I found I was constantly sharing birth information with women during their massages, so the natural step was to do more training as a Childbirth Educator and Doula. It was like I had planted a seed, and that seed had grown into a sapling and now that sapling is a strong, wise tree offering shade and protection from the sun.

I have grown my business to promote education, planning and preparation for birth so women can enjoy their pregnancy and look forward to their birth without judgement or guilt.

I love studying and researching so I can provide women with evidence-based resources for their mind, body and emotions along with my own experiences and wisdom, so they feel safe, supported and ready for this transition into motherhood.
