A little note from my heart to yours🥰

Hello all my beautiful families
I wanted to share a little update with you.
After many years of pouring my heart into supporting families, caring for babies, and being there for parents during some of their most precious and vulnerable moments, I am taking some time now to care for myself.
This season is about rest, healing, and allowing my body the time and kindness it needs.
For those who know me, you will know how much I absolutely love my work and families .Being welcomed into families homes, hearing your stories, holding space during those early days of parenthood, and watching families grow has been one of the greatest and most beautiful privileges of my life. Thank you for trusting me with your beautiful babies and little ones.
Right now with love I am gently pressing pause and giving myself permission to receive the same care and compassion I have always encouraged my families to give themselves.
I will be taking a break from consultations and enquiries while I focus on my health and recovery.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, your understanding, and for all the beautiful messages of love and support. Every message and call has meant so much.
I look forward to reconnecting when the time is perfect.
Until then, please remember to be gentle with yourself and your beautiful families.
Rest is not something we need to earn, sometimes it is exactly what we need. Even though sometimes it's hard to do.

So much love today and everyday

Your Baby, Your Boundaries 🤍

One of the things I hear from mamas often is the worry about setting boundaries when their baby arrives.

Can I gently remind you of something beautiful?

You do not need permission to protect your baby. 🤍

You carried that precious little one for months. You learnt their movements, whispered to them, worried about them, loved them before anyone else had even met them.

So if you ask people to wash their hands, wait until they are well before visiting, or hand baby back when they need their mama, you are not being difficult.

You are being a parent.

Newborn babies do not need to be passed around so you feel you have to keep everyone happy. They need love, safety, comfort, and the familiar arms that help them feel secure in this big beautiful new world.

The people who truly love you and your baby will understand that these boundaries are not walls. They are acts of love.

Mama, trust your instincts.

You know your baby better than anyone else.

It is okay to say yes.
It is okay to say no.
It is okay to change your mind.
And it is okay to put your baby’s needs before the expectations of others.

Because protecting your little one is never something you need to apologise for.🤍

Much love always
Vicki K 🤍

From Birthcare to Haven… 🤍

Have you been discharged from Birthcare and quietly wished you had just a little more time to rest, heal, be nurtured, and gently settle into motherhood?

At Haven Postnatal Sanctuary & Haven In Home Support, we lovingly hold space for mamas and babies through those tender early postpartum days. Offering holistic, heart-centered support with feeding, settling, sleep guidance, emotional support, recovery care, nourishment, and reassurance — all wrapped in softness and understanding.

Whether you are recovering from birth, adjusting emotionally, needing practical support, or simply longing to feel cared for too… you do not have to do this alone.

A gentle prayer for the postpartum journey, is that every mama feels held, seen, rested, and deeply loved during the postpartum season. 🤍

“May this home be filled with peace.
May this mother feel strengthened and supported.
May this baby feel safe, calm, and deeply loved.
And may no family ever feel alone in the early days of parenthood.” 🤍

With love,
Vicki K 🤍

To every mama 💗

Happy Mother’s Day.

Today is for the women who give so much of themselves every single day in ways the world often never fully sees.

The mamas rocking babies through the night.
The mothers carrying invisible mental loads.
The women wiping tears while hiding their own.
The mamas healing, learning, growing and loving with everything they have.

To the new mama holding her tiny baby for her very first Mother’s Day.
To the exhausted mama running on cold coffee and broken sleep.
To the grieving mama missing a child, a mother or the motherhood journey she dreamed of.
To the stepmums, foster mums, adoptive mums, grandmothers, and women who mother with their hearts every day.
To the mamas raising children with additional and special needs while carrying such strength so quietly.
To the mamas doing it alongside loving partners, and the mamas doing it alone.

We see you 🤍

Motherhood is not measured by perfection.
It’s found in the cuddles, the comforting, the showing up, the trying again after hard days, and the endless love poured into beautiful little hearts.

Sometimes motherhood looks beautiful and joyful.
Sometimes it looks messy, emotional, overwhelming and exhausting.
Most days, it’s all of those things at once.

But through it all, mamas continue to love with a depth that is truly beautiful.

Today, I hope you feel celebrated, appreciated, held and reminded that you matter too.

You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to receive love.
You are allowed to be cared for as well.

Thank you for all the unseen moments, the sacrifices, the tenderness, the strength, and the love you bring into this world every single day.

From my heart to yours always
Happy Mother’s Day beautiful mamas 💗

It’s okay beautiful mama🤍

to have slow days
to feel overwhelmed sometimes
to say no without explaining yourself
to stay in your pyjamas all day
to put your needs alongside your baby’s
to have a cry and let it out
to ask for support
and also, to choose what support feels right for you

Those early days and weeks with a new baby can feel so big.
So tender.
So full of emotion.

And while it can be beautiful, it can also feel a lot.

Both can exist at the same time 🤍

Sometimes we wake up with plans of everything we will do and the day unfolds differently.

Maybe all you did today was feed your baby, hold and cuddle them and get through.
That is not “just” anything.

That is everything.

At Vicki K, I gently remind mamas that there is no perfect way to do this.

Only your way.

And if it feels right for you and your baby, nothing is wrong 🤍

There’s something so special about moments like this 🤍

What looks like a simple act of holding a beautiful baby… is so much more.

It’s calm in the sometimes chaos.
It’s gentle support when everything feels overwhelming.
It’s a quiet exhale for a mama who’s been holding so much.

In these small moments, something shifts.

A baby feels safe.
A mama feels seen.
And for just a little while… she’s not doing it all alone.

This is the heart of what I do 🤍
Holding space for both baby and mama in the moments that matter most.

Vicki K 🤍
