Victoria Greenly
Victoria began her journey supporting parents in 2011 when she was asked to train as a breastfeeding peer supporter with the BFN, helping staff in busy South West London NHS baby clinics for 3 years. In 2013, she started working as a postnatal doula. Since then, she has supported over a thousand parents with feeding their babies and hundreds of parents as a postnatal doula. Her passion supporting choices and informed decision making for women, parents and families has been her primary focus for 12 years. Additionally, of great importance to her is parent and baby wellbeing.
Victoria became a postnatal educator in 2015 establishing the postnatal doula course provider, Younique Postnatal with two other experienced doulas. Since then, she has trained hundreds of postnatal doulas and provides workshops on the postnatal period. She has hosted meetups, workshops, sessions and retreats for mothers and parents to have some space and focus on themselves.
Victoria is married and has one living daughter, Eloise and one stillborn baby daughter, Skye who was diagnosed antenatally with Down’s Syndrome. Skye died at 35 weeks of pregnancy due to unpredicted placental problems. She lives in the middle of the beautiful South Downs in Midhurst, West Sussex.

Course Facilitator, South West London
Erin McGuigan
Erin is a Birth and Postnatal Doula, infant feeding specialist, and Early Years professional. After the birth of her children Erin took a total career change and followed her calling to support women and families through the life changing rite of passage of birth and parenting.
In 2013 she did her Birth and Postnatal Doula training with both Developing Doulas and Michel Odent’s Paramana Doulas.
Erin joined the Younique family as the Head of Mentoring in March 2021 and as a course facilitator in October 2022.

Safeguarding Lead
Antoinette Reynolds
Antoinette is a Doula, a Midwife and a Mentor with Younique Postnatal.
She describes her experience of becoming a mother as the making of her and helped her rediscover her passion for all things birth related. She birthed her babies in her choice of environment and feels fortunate to have had advocates supporting her choices, helping shape her and her career choices. She strongly believes in women, birthing people and families having control over their parenting journey.
​
As a young child she absolutely enjoyed reading and seeing birthing stories and images, this passion stayed with her through her journey to becoming a birth and postnatal doula and most recently becoming a midwife.
​
Out of her university cohort she was voted the one person who is likely to be a specialist midwife in safeguarding. Her passion is visible. She wants to be present and make a difference in safeguarding as she strongly believes that safeguarding in the doula world includes your safety as the doula and the family you're supporting. Safeguarding is everyone's concern.
​
My motto: postnatal your way, and I follow.
Intuitive Infant Feeding Course Facilitator
Erin Zohrehie
Erin is an Infant Feeding Specialist and facilitates the Intuitive Infant Feeding Course alongside Victoria Greenly. Erin was very fortunate to get help with breastfeeding just before giving up. She felt isolated like never before, and had never imagined motherhood could be such a wonderful yet lonely experience at the same time.
​
Because of her passion for wanting to support new families, she trained with The Breastfeeding Network. After supporting thousands with their feeding journeys, Erin later trained as a Postnatal Doula so that she could offer additional support in the homes of new families. One of her latest endeavours is the Intuitive Infant Feeding Course, which has been running for the last two years, training up doulas as well as other health professionals in infant feeding. Erin sees this as a ‘passing of the baton’ and is hoping that it will have a greater impact in the support that is desperately needed in the UK.
​
Most recently, Erin has taken on a role with the Infant Feeding Team at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, where she now helps to move the trust towards Unicef Baby Friendly Accreditation.
“I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the course. Being a technical person who's never
worked much professionally with people, it has really challenged me which is good. I feel it has prepared me well and given me plenty of information to understand the diversity of
possible situations I might be walking into when I start working as a doula. It has given me so much to think about and hopefully after preparing the post coursework I will have enough confidence to actually go out and do it! Which is a very exciting if daunting thought!”
