I have been helping families succeed since the birth of my first child, Isaac, in 2000, first as a childbirth educator, then as a La Leche League Leader, then as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. My background is in international environmental policy, but when my kids came along, my heart took me in the direction of the birth and baby world. I truly love helping families come into their own. In my spare time, I knit, sew and garden, volunteer, and work for social justice. I am the proud mom of a Western Washington University senior, a Nova High School junior, and am a graduate of Brown University (BA in environmental studies) and University of Washington Evans School of Public Policy.

I was slightly skeptical at the beginning of my lactation journey when I first consulted with Betsy Hoffmeister due to some unpleasant experiences with prior lactation consultant; I was hopeful due to the positive experiences of others. I’m glad I followed my instinct and chose Betsy as my lactation consultant. Betsy is very knowledgeable and professional. She is thorough and client-focused in her interactions. I was in a rough place postpartum and spent a very long time trying to explain what I wanted at the first appointment. Betsy patiently listened at every session and helped me become focused on my goals. I consulted with her for the entirety of my lactation journey, and I became confident as a mother by following her advice. She also tailored her knowledge around my needs. Betsy was a teacher, healer, and counselor because she went extra 10 miles at every appointment. It was her wisdom and kindness that help pave the best outcome for my baby. Thank you, Betsy, for being a gem of a person, amazing professional, and a beautiful person (both inside & out) & it was an honor to be guided by you!

Hi, I’m Hailey (she/her), a trauma-informed, holistic prenatal and birth doula proudly serving families throughout the South Sound region of Washington. My approach is rooted in deep listening, evidence-based support, and honoring the sacred, transformative nature of birth. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported, especially in moments as vulnerable and powerful as pregnancy and labor. Whether you’re planning a home birth, birth center delivery, or hospital birth, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, calm presence, and nonjudgmental guidance. As a holistic doula, I encourage practices that nourish the body, mind, and spirit; gentle movement, nutrient-rich foods, emotional processing, time in nature, and intuitive connection to your baby. I also hold space for those navigating birth after trauma, offering support that centers your autonomy and sense of agency at every step. Birth is not just a destination, it’s a journey of becoming. I’d be honored to support you through it. Let’s connect and explore what that support can look like for you.

I’ve had the joy of witnessing the heart and soul behind Hailey’s beautiful doula journey, and it’s honestly been moving to watch. This isn’t just a business—it’s a true calling. You can feel it in the way she lights up when talking about birth, in how deeply she cares for the women she supports, and in the quiet strength she brings to such a powerful moment in a family’s life. Hailey believes in the natural birth process, in a mother’s strength, and in the beauty of bringing life into the world with intention, support, and love. And she shows up—fully and wholeheartedly—for every single person she works with. If you’re hoping for a birth experience where you feel seen, supported, and empowered, you won’t find anyone more dedicated. What Hailey is doing is more than a service—it’s a gift.

Hello! I am Evie Ward, Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Registered Nurse, and the Founder of New Leaf Sleep Consulting. I became passionate about helping families improve their child’s sleep when I experienced the life-changing support from a sleep consultant with my first son. I create a customized sleep plan based on your child's needs and then we spend the next few weeks working on improving your little one's sleep. I believe that sleep is the foundation of a happy and healthy family. My goal when working with families is to help everyone get the sleep that they deserve!

Recent review

When our son was 6 months old, I was so sleep deprived I could barely remember what day of the week it was. I was waking every 1-2 hours to console him, heavily leaning on nursing to soothe him, my husband felt helpless, and frustration had set in. I was referred to Evie and she responded to my message the same day, and immediately made space for a consultation with us. She was extremely compassionate about my emotions around moving our son to his own room and changing the routine of when I’d nurse. She heard ALL of our struggles and addressed each one with encouragement, non-judgement and thorough, unrushed conversation. She even took time out of her own vacation to speak with us during our 2 week learning period. She has a wide range of knowledge about infant sleep, she can relate with personal experiences as a mom herself, and she offers support not only logistically but reassuringly. Our son was sleeping 5-7hrs through the night by day two, self soothing, and quickly became responsive to a nap routine. She literally changed my life during a time of deep self doubt and I can’t recommend her more highly! Don’t hesitate to call her! Postpartum is hard, parenthood is hard, and we all deserve a cheerleader and good sleep!

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.

Hello, we’re Jessica, Autumn, and Jordan—three certified birth doulas (and photographers) serving families who desire to feel deeply supported, seen, and prepared as they welcome new life. We believe birth matters—not only the outcome, but the experience: how a woman is treated, how she’s supported, and how she remembers it. Our role is to be a calm, steady presence—listening well, praying over your journey if you wish, and holding space for both the intensity and the beauty of birth. Whether you’re preparing for an unmedicated birth, navigating past trauma, planning a VBAC, or simply want a trusted guide in the room, we provide evidence-based guidance, hands-on comfort, and heartfelt encouragement. Our hope is that you look back on your birth feeling empowered, informed, and cared for—body, mind, and spirit.

Recent review

Working with Jessica as our doula was one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy journey. From the very beginning, she was amazing—supportive, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. Her initial consultation and two pre-birth meetings were packed with helpful information that made us feel so empowered and prepared going into labor. During the birth, Jessica was truly in tune with what I needed. She had this calm presence that grounded the whole room, and when we were in the thick of labor and forgot parts of our birth plan, she gently and confidently advocated for us. She also captured the most beautiful photos during the birth—images we’ll treasure forever. What amazed us even more is that her photography never took away from her doula support; she was fully present the entire time—I didn’t even realize she was taking pictures! A few days after our birth, she came over to our home to check in on us, making sure we were all doing well physically, mentally, and emotionally. She brought a huge, delicious jar of homemade bone broth with her, and it felt like the most thoughtful gift. We are beyond thankful for everything Jessica did for us. Her genuine care, compassion, and expertise made all the difference in our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.

I highly recommend having Jordan as your doula. Our experience with Jordan was 11/10; she was magic. Jordan makes everything easy. She listened to what my husband and I were each hoping for in our birth experience and helped us get there! We learned so much from her to truly understand all our options, to really make welcoming our little one what we wanted. We had a lot of questions and Jordan answered every question we had without fail, with both honesty and reassurance. If she didn’t already know the answer from her wealth of experience, she would find the answer and always follow up. No question was ever too big, small or silly; we always felt comfortable asking her. Jordan goes above and beyond. From arranging to stay nearby so that she wouldn’t miss a thing when our due date came to sending exercises to prep for labor to helping us postpartum, Jordan has become someone we trust wholeheartedly. We count ourselves very lucky to have her in our corner and will definitely call her if we are expecting again!

Working with Teresa has been an absolute dream. She is one of those providers that you simply cannot top. She is warm, communicative, and so so incredibly talented. I reccomend her to each and every one of my clients who needs overnight support I cannot accomodate. When I tell you Teresa is GIFT to the Seattle postpartum community I truly MEAN it. I tell my clients I would trust Teresa with MY own children if I were to have them and they can too. Her professionalism, background, and immense community impact makes her unparalled provider. If you have a question about it she has seen it, done it, conquered it. I truly cannot reccomend her enough. I also see this immensely benevolent side of her - this work goes far beyond any fee her clients pay. It's soul work. She wants to help. She cares. She is your VILLAGE. Teresa is the dream team member every postpartum client needs. I would reccomend Teresa without any hesistation for any of your postpartum needs.

I believe that all people, but particularly people in childbirth, can do hard things because they are full of love and that love gives them power. I love seeing people experience that power, and I am passionate about protecting their wellbeing as they do so. As a doula, my goal is not to try to “save” you from the process of childbirth (you don’t need to be saved) or tell you how to birth, but to support you with reliable information, a listening ear, and practical help so that you can fully embrace your birth experience, no matter what it looks like.

Recent review

Madeline is a close friend of mine and I was so excited to have her as my doula for my first baby! Unfortunately, I ended up needing a C-section not too soon after my "labor" started. Although we didn't get to thoroughly practice all the labor prep we had done together (i.e. birth classes, spinning babies videos, recommended books on labor, podcasts to listen to, going through my birth plan, etc.), Maddie was an excellent source of encouragement and helped me grieve the labor I didn't get. She was there for me in the weeks after my baby's birth and visited us multiple times while we were in the NICU, being an invaluable resource to us during a hard time. We are lucky to know her!

We had the pleasure of working with Sanee for the first few months of our son's life, and we are so grateful for the care she provided. She was incredibly reliable, dependable, and brought a calming presence into our home. Her loving and attentive nature made us feel completely confident leaving our son in her care overnight. She quickly became a trusted partner and gave us peace of mind during a very vulnerable time. We highly recommend her to any family looking for experienced, nurturing support.

Hello I'm a previous neonatal nurse who now works in pediatric care. I miss my days being with newborns and would love to be able to help your family out. I have two boys in school and I still work as a nurse so my availability is weekdays from 9-3. As a mom I understand the need to be able to rely on your childcare provider being on time, responsible and have good communication with the parents. While I am a licensed nurse, my in-home services are provided in a non-clinical capacity. Due to licensing regulations, I am not permitted to practice as a nurse outside a hospital or approved healthcare facility. Instead, I offer support, education, and wellness services based on my experience and expertise.
