Vivi Riding

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Virginie (Vivi), ​I'm a Certified birth doula (DONA) dedicated to helping families experience birth with confidence, trust, and compassionate support.
I believe every woman deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout her birth journey. Whether you're planning a hospital birth, birth center birth, or home birth, I'm here to provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support so you can make decisions that feel right for you.
Birth isn't just about bringing a baby into the world, it's the birth of a mother, a father, and a family. My goal is to help you feel calm, prepared, and supported every step of the way.
The birth of my daughter transformed my life. Surrounded by the calm, compassionate support of my midwife and doula, I experienced the incredible power of feeling safe, respected, and deeply supported during birth. That experience inspired me to become a doula so I could help other families feel that same confidence and care, no matter where or how they choose to give birth.
As a mother, I understand firsthand how transformative the journey into parenthood can be. My own birth experience deepened my passion for supporting families with compassion, presence, and evidence-based care.

Bilingual Support
I proudly offer support in both English and French. If French is your first language, I can help you navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in the language that feels most natural and comforting to you.

Practice Philosophy

Every birth deserves respect!

I believe birth is not something to fear, it is something to prepare for.
When a mother feels safe, informed, and supported, she can trust her body and embrace the journey with confidence.

My approach is gentle, evidence-based, and centered around your unique needs and preferences. There is no "perfect" birth. My priority is helping you feel respected, supported, and empowered in every decision you make.
