I practice trauma informed, perinatal, birth, and postpartum support for all birthing bodies, couples, single and single by choice parents, adoptive parents, and families on their surrogacy journeys. My support is queer competent, weight inclusive and intersectional, and it is always my priority to support people getting the care that helps them feel safe and seen, essential to the health and wellness of both baby and family. I know first hand how beautiful, challenging and exhausting childbirth and parenting is, and I come with a wealth of personal and professional experience to share with you.

Melanie was a fantastic resource before, during, and after my delivery. Having a high risk pregnancy, I wanted all the support I could get, and Melanie had the knowledge, experience, and confidence to provide that.

Hello! I am a mom of two, full spectrum doula and student midwife in Tacoma, WA. I’ve spent the majority of life supporting people in various and capacities, but found my calling in supporting families through the perinatal period. “It takes a village” is something I grew up on, but also stand and as a mom myself I know that finding that village can be difficult. My goal as your doula is to help bridge that gap and support you during what some consider a very vulnerable and changing journey. I aim to meet families where they are at and in ways that feel most comfortable for each client. I would love to connect and see if I would be a good fit for you!

I have worked with Kirsten multiple times over my 18 years of being a mom and birthing 4 kids. She has always been incredibly helpful, resourceful and kind to me and my family. She truly goes above and beyond and has been a God send. She is extremely knowledgeable and flexible, answering all of my questions, calming my nerves and being a huge support. Highly recommended Kirsten!!!

Hello everyone, my name is Dana and I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula based in Lynnwood, WA.

I strive to create a judgment-free zone where you can trust your body’s unique wisdom and feel fully supported. My approach is rooted in real-life experience. I have personally navigated three completely different births, giving me an unbiased, adaptive perspective. As a mother of three and a former paraeducator, I am highly stress-resistant and skilled at staying calm and present. I offer support that is Intuitive, Steadfast, and Bilingual (fluent in Russian and Kazakh). For postpartum care, I offer specialized services like Rebozo massage and the "Closing the Bones" ritual, focusing on holistic recovery. I am a lifelong learner, dedicated to ongoing education, and I come to every family ready to collaborate with your team.

Dana helped our family tremendously during a very challenging time. My wife’s delivery was not easy, and at one point she considered a C-section. Thanks to Dana’s support and guidance, we were able to have a natural delivery. She was patient, kind, and helped us navigate everything the right way. Hernknowledge helped us a lot even the nurses in the hospital didn’t intervene because they trusted Dana and her expertise in supporting us. We are very grateful for her real and meaningful help. Thank you, Dana!

Hello! My name is Oksana Ellenbrook, and I bring 23 years of experience as an OB-GYN to my role as a doula. With a passion for birth and a deep understanding of both the medical and emotional aspects of labor, I am committed to empowering women and helping them feel confident and supported during one of the most significant moments of their lives. I speak both English and Russian, allowing me to connect with families from diverse backgrounds. My approach is centered around collaboration – I believe that a strong partnership between the woman and her doula can create a positive and empowering birth experience. Whether you’re navigating a hospital birth or a more personalized setting, my goal is to ensure you feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. Together, we can work towards a joyful and successful birth that honors your unique journey. I look forward to being a part of your birth story!

Recent review

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Oksana. From the moment we met, I felt instantly at ease with her calm presence and deep knowledge. As a former OB-GYN, she brought a level of reassurance that I didn’t even know I needed—but more than anything, she was kind, intuitive, and completely focused on supporting me. During labor, Oksana was by my side the entire time—offering gentle encouragement, helping me breathe through each contraction, and using massage and position changes that truly made a difference. She worked seamlessly with the hospital staff and made sure I felt heard and respected at every stage. Thanks to her, I felt empowered and strong during my birth. I will always be grateful for her care, and I can’t imagine going through it without her. If you’re looking for someone experienced, nurturing, and dedicated to women’s well-being, Oksana is the doula for you

I am a certified birth doula. I have been in business for 9 years and have supported over 500 families. I specialize in high risk births including V-backs and multiples. I also enjoy low risk and out of hospital births. I love clinic births as well as home births. Some very special births have been both in and out of the hospital setting. I believe that birth is full of beautiful moments and each birth has a beauty of its own. I enjoy being part of each birth Story. Birth photography is included in each birth packet and each client gets a full birth story that is documented all along the way.

I am certified as a birth doula through DONA and serve women in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Kitsap County and surrounding areas. I do cross the Narrows bridge to hospitals in Tacoma as well. Homebirth is near and dear to me and I experienced it for my births as well. It has also been a privilege to support those wanting to VBAC or birth in a hospital space. It’s exciting to learn about and practice Spinning Babies and other support measures to better serve birthing women.

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.

Recent review

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.
