I am so thrilled about your pregnancy and upcoming birth! These are the most precious moments of your life and I pray that you get to enjoy and cherish them! I am a mama to four wonderful children and I have been cherishing my motherhood for 13 years now. A DONA Certified Birth Doula, CAPPA Certified Childbirth Educator, a Postpartum Doula, and a birth-worker with over a decade of experience in Labor and Delivery, NICU and ER. I am passionate about empowering women and supporting them every step of the way in their birth journey. Whether you’re planning a natural, out-of-hospital birth or opting for more traditional hospital-based care, I’m here to provide the guidance, education, and support you need. I’m also committed to helping moms pursuing a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) to achieve their birth goals with confidence." I serve families in the greater Seattle Area.

Hi! I’m a birth doula, childbirth educator, and lactation counselor with a background in osteopathic medicine and a deep passion for perinatal support. During medical school, I saw how the way we approach and nurture pregnancy and birth can shape early family experience, creating lasting ripple effects. In addition to birth work, I lead parent support groups through PEPS and am a mom of two teens. I understand how unpredictable and transformative the journey into parenthood can be, and my role is to help you feel grounded in the moment and ready for what comes next. Every parent brings their own values and lived experiences—sometimes joyful, always complex—and I offer steady support and advocacy tailored to your unique path.

I am Latha Ram, a DONA trained birth doula, ICEA/Lamaze trained childbirth educator. My path into birth work began after my own birth experience opened my eyes to how modern birth can often feel overwhelming, clinical, and isolating. I found myself asking: when did women and families begin walking this journey without the village that once surrounded them? I created Dhatri to help families navigate pregnancy and birth with both evidence-based knowledge and compassionate support. My approach blends research-backed education with calm, grounded support. Some families want deep dives into research, medical evidence, and decision-making tools. Others want reassurance, emotional support, and someone who helps them slow down and reconnect with their intuition. Most families need both. I meet you where you are. My role is not to make decisions for you, but to provide you with evidence-based information, continuous support, and advocacy so you can make the choices that are right for your family. I support all birth choices - hospital, birth center, or home birth; medicated or unmedicated; vaginal or cesarean. What matters most is that you feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout your journey.

Welcome to Mother Trees. I am a Registered Nurse, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Pre and Perinatal Psychology Educator and Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapist., located in Newcastle, WA. Birthing a new soul is a sacred rite of passage. In our busy world we have forgotten how to be fully present to receive this gift. Unfortunately, most hospital births feel far from empowering or sacred. Deliveries are often induced, creating a faster paced timeline that can make communication between mom and baby more confusing and difficult. Taking time to slow down and listen deeply to your baby, your partner and yourself can be immensely rewarding. It is not what we normally do, so having a guide is helpful. This is the service I’ve been providing to new parents for more than 30 years. I have worked with thousands of breastfeeding families in hospital and home settings. It brings me great joy to provide support and direction during your transition into parenting.

Hi, I'm Samantha Avramovic. I'm a Certified Lactation Support Provider (CLSP) credentialed through GOLD Lactation Academy, and I'm passionate about supporting families through one of the most tender and sometimes challenging chapters of their lives. I'm a mom of three rambunctious kids and former nurslings. I know how beautiful and fulfilling nursing can be, and I also know it can be overwhelming to find help that meets you where you are. I come to you — in your home, on your terms. I believe that good lactation support should feel like a knowledgeable friend sitting beside you on the couch, not a trial that adds more stress to an already full plate. I work with all kinds of families. Whether you're a first-time parent anxious to get it right, someone who had a hard time last time and wants more support, or a parent returning to work and trying to figure out pumping — I'm here for you, without judgment, always.

Hi, I’m Mehri. I’m a mom of two girls, and I truly believe there is nothing more important than helping a mother feel safe, supported, and never alone. I went through this-when you dont have any support, no one can understand you, even sometimes your friends or your family members. During my pregnant period I almost lost 2 my best friends because of I was expecting from them support that I never received, not because of they dont care, they just dont know how to deal with that. Life once surprised me with an unexpected home birth before the ambulance arrived. In that moment, I learned that staying calm, taking a deep breath, and having someone beside you can change everything. Since then, I’ve carried that feeling with me. I love listening, encouraging, making tea, holding a baby so a mom can rest, or simply sitting quietly when that’s what’s needed. Families often tell me that they feel calm around me, and that’s the greatest compliment I could ever receive.

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.
