Victoria Clark
Victoria Clark is a DONA-trained birth doula, currently working toward certification. She lives in Howey with her husband and their two wonderful children.
Her passion for birth work was born out of her own story. After a traumatic first birth in 2020, Victoria knew she wanted a different experience the next time. When expecting her second child in 2024, she hired a doula—and that decision changed everything. Her second birth was empowering, transformative, and redemptive. The steady, compassionate support she received inspired her to walk alongside other families as they welcome new life.
Victoria believes every woman deserves to experience birth as a beautiful and empowering event. She is passionate about the physiology of birth and about equipping mothers and their partners to become strong advocates for their wishes, making every effort toward the birth they desire. She joyfully serves families of all birth choices on a self-pay basis and is actively working toward being in-network with select insurances.
Faith and family are at the heart of who she is. Outside of birth work, Victoria enjoys sewing, reading, and continually learning new things.352-551-9629 (text please)
