This woman is incredible. I am so grateful to have had her by mine and my husbands side. My second pregnancy, labor and delivery I wanted redemtion from my first labor and delivery. And she helped deliver that. She was there to guide me in anything I needed. Any questions, she was there to answer. She had my back with every move that was made in the hospital. She helped my husband feel confident in the room. She helped me feel more confident while going through the surges. She took amazing care of me while I was in labor. She took pictures of my husband and I meeting our baby for the first time. She was there for anything I needed and that was exactly the kind of support I needed to feel. It's been 7 months since I had my baby and I feel like she's missing from my life 😂 you won't regret having her apart of your birth team. Thank you Bryanna for everything you did!

We’re so grateful to have had Sampaguita's support in our birth experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly kind and genuine. As a queer and trans family, we felt completely comfortable in the space they created. They were also incredibly knowledgeable and we appreciated the time they took to figure out what was most important to us around the birth, answer our questions, explain our options, and help us feel informed and empowered throughout the process. We always felt heard, respected, and supported. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and knowledgeable doula. We’re so grateful for the care they gave us and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, affirming, and genuine support.

I’m Mary, a Seattle-based Certified Washington Birth Doula, Certified Postpartum & Infant Care Doula, trained Newborn Care Specialist, and gentle sleep coach. I’ve supported over seventy families through birth recovery, overnight care, and the earliest weeks of newborn life, including those long, vulnerable nights when rest feels impossible. I specialize in calm, evidence-based postpartum and newborn support that helps families recover, regulate, and sleep - without rigid programs or one-size-fits-all advice. Whether I’m providing overnight care, supporting feeding, or helping your baby develop healthy sleep rhythms, my role is to bring steadiness, skill, and relief into your home. Families often tell me they feel more confident, more rested, and more grounded within our first weeks together. My approach is gentle but intentional, practical without being cold, and always centered on the well-being of both parent and baby. You don’t have to white-knuckle this season. I’m here to help you feel supported, capable, and cared for. Available for birth, birth recovery, overnight postpartum care, and early newborn sleep support.

I met Mary when she practiced in Arizona and quickly turned into more than just a service provider, but a friend as well. She’s helped me through the pregnancy and post partum of all 4 of my babies and I couldn’t ask for a better support person by my side. Even from Texas, Mary was an absolute saint even just with listening through my temper-tantrums while being pregnant and guiding me through labor-prep. I seriously have her and her alone to thank for such an amazing birth and post partum 4 times now. I seriously recommend her if you’re looking for someone to feel more like family than a service.

We feel so lucky to have had Danielle with us three nights a week for the first six weeks after bringing our son home. As a first time mom, those early newborn days were such an adjustment, and Danielle quickly became a source of comfort and support for me too- not just someone we trusted to care for our baby. From the beginning, we felt safe and comfortable with her. She is incredibly caring, calm, and attentive, and I genuinely looked forward to the nights she was coming because I knew our son was in such good hands and I could actually rest. Especially in those first few weeks when everything felt so new, having her reassuring presence meant so much to us. Danielle was also wonderful about respecting our preferences and helping us figure out what worked best for our family without ever making us feel like there was one “right” way to do things. She was extremely communicative- always responsive, but also proactive about checking in, sharing updates, and making sure we were on the same page. We were genuinely sad when our time with Danielle came to an end. She became such a trusted and comforting presence during a really special and vulnerable time in our lives, and we’re so grateful she was part of those early weeks with our son. I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a night doula.

Hello! My name is Sheilena and I am a full spectrum doula, birth photographer, placenta specialist, herbalist, student midwife and lactation educator. I serve families in the Puget Sound area and pride myself on taking a whole person and holistic approach when supporting my clients, balancing natural/physiological methods with western medicine. Each client gets an individualized approach as I use my variety of skills, experience and knowledge to support them in ways that feels best to them, but still encompasses advocacy, physical and emotional support, education and more.

I feel so lucky to have had Sheilena as my doula. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, responsive, and patient. During our initial conversations and prenatal Zoom sessions, she took the time to answer all of my questions — even the most random ones — with genuine care and respect. As a first-time mom, that meant so much to me. When my water broke in the middle of the night, Sheilena stayed in close contact with me over text the entire time. Even while she was on duty, she proactively looped in her backup doulas, who were all equally reliable and supportive. Together, they reassured me, helped me assess my situation, and guided me on when it was appropriate to rest at home and when to communicate with my medical team about pain management. Despite having attended multiple births and likely being exhausted, Sheilena showed up fully present for me before I received my epidural. She helped prepare a bath and spent hours providing hands-on support and massage to ease my pain — something I will never forget. During labor, she continued to advocate for me and communicate my needs clearly with the medical staff, especially when I was feeling nauseous from Pitocin. Her emotional support, reassurance, and attentiveness made such a difference in helping me feel safe and cared for. As a beautiful final touch, she shared so many precious photos from the birth — memories that I will cherish forever. Overall, I’m deeply grateful for her presence and support throughout my birth experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula.

My experience with Bridgette was fantastic. My main reason for using a doula was I wanted someone in the birth room to be a fierce advocate while I was medicated and in pain and unable to advocate for myself. She was that and so much more. I had to push for 4 hours to get my little one out after already being in labor for 18 hours. The doctor said I was close to needing the vacuum to get her out and I credit Bridgette's knowledge, encouragement of frequent position changes while pushing and encouragement to keep hydrated and nourished with clear liquids to why I was able to get my little one out without the vacuum. Another thing that was a great help was giving my overwhelmed partner guidance on the best ways of helping me and keeping him calm and involved in a stressful situation. In addition to that she got the BEST pictures of the delivery while respecting the fact I didn't want any from the angle you could see my more intimate areas. I'll cherish those pictures forever. My birth was a beautiful wonderful experience. I have to credit part of it to luck but the majority of it to Bridgette.

My name is Aijanae, the visionary founder of Village to Village Doulas, a premier doula agency renowned for its holistic and compassionate approach to childbirth and postpartum care. My journey into the world of maternal support was deeply personal and transformative. My son, my baby boy Jahsiah was diagnosed with Hepatoblastoma just as I had booked my calendar for the year, I was faced the immense challenge of balancing my professional and personal life. This experience underscored the importance of having a trusted support system during life's most vulnerable moments. Leveraging my personal journey, I established Village to Village Doulas to provide unparalleled support to local Doulas and parents navigating the complexities of childbirth and early parenthood.

I have had such a positive, stress-free postpartum experience, and that is in very large part thanks to Aijanae. I feel so lucky to have found her and her team - from the moment I first talked to her, I knew I would want her to support me and my family. She exudes calm, and she is incredibly knowledgeable, and she is very generous with her time. Aijanae supported me for the first 6 weeks with overnights, and then her team (Jazzy, Wren, and Hailey) joined to support for the following 4 weeks. I thoroughly enjoyed Aijanae's company during the middle of the night feedings and so appreciated all her advice on breastfeeding and newborn care (and appreciated her folding laundry, doing some meal prep, and cleaning pump parts). Aijanae really cares about you as a new mother and goes out of her way with texts, phone calls, and in-person conversations to make sure you feel heard and supported. My experience with Jazzy, Wren, and Hailey was also great. They are all clearly experts in what they do. And the great thing about working with an agency, like Aijanae's agency, is that if you have a longer term contract like I did and someone inevitably gets sick or can't make a shift, there is always someone else who can cover. Our 10 weeks with Aijanae and her team were a big financial commitment, but it was worth every penny. I would wholeheartedly recommend Aijanae and Village to Village to any family who wants a smoother postpartum experience.
