Doulaville

Doula

Doulaville started out as just Angelina Valentin, being the go-to-girl for all things pregnancy, birth and newborn as she had read and studied everything she could get her hands on relating to pregnancy. She was invited to friend's births, and then friend-of-friend's births. She took a doula training in 2004 and continued to offer support to those within her circle of friends.
In 2009 Angie moved to Seattle and quickly discovered that she needed to step it up. After another local training, she dove into the inspirational world of birth work, and a collective was born: Doulaville Birth Services. Read more

    Heather's ability to support a natural approach to childbirth in a hospital setting was exactly what we were looking for in a doula. Both being physicians, we felt obliged to deliver in a hospital but had strong preferences on allowing labor to progress as naturally as possible (as long as was safe for both mom and baby). Heather facilitated conversations between us as a couple on what most important for each of us and ultimately helped us navigate some challenges that came up at the end of our pregnancy...

    From the moment my husband and I met Heather we knew she was going to be our doula. Her experience, personality, knowledge, warmth, kindness, down to earth and hilarious nature instantly connected us to her and that was it! She's seriously a cool person, and if you are looking for a highly experienced birthing guide/coach, who is also sweet and has a great sense of humor, awesome taste in music and tv shows, and is an all around fantastic person, please do yourself a favor and get her in your life asap!...

    From the day we first met her our relationship with Heather felt special. She has such a unique way of making you comfortable and at peace which was essential during the time of birth. Heather is extremely competent, knowledgeable, and kind. Her presence is an extremely positive one and she was very respected and well-liked by the hospital staff all of which had previously worked with her and this had a further hugely positive impact on our birth experience...

    Heather and I had a great rapoire from the moment we met. She is kind, funny, and very welcoming. She has vast knowledge and is very natural with her ability to share it in an effective way with others. She made me and my husband feel at ease with her and our decision to hire a doula. She has great communication skills and was available to us whenever we needed her...

    Heather comes with years of experience! She is a very down-to-earth and authentic person, which I valued very much. She made my husband and I feel really comfortable from the moment we met her. We knew after our first meeting that she would help us have a positive birth experience. What stuck with me the most from our initial discussion was that her goal as a doula was to ensure that I felt a part of my birth experience, and that I had a voice in whatever decision was made...
