Postpartum Certified Doula (Northwest Association for Perinatal Support)

Reiki Master Practitioner

Fluency in Spanish/English

As a Seattle native, Jani has a profound connection to the community and brings both local insight and diverse expertise to her Doula practice. She studied Applied Linguistics at CUNY Hunter College, followed by specialized Perinatal Doula Training at Bastyr University's Simkin Center for Allied Birth Vocations—a premier institution for holistic birth work.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, she is also a certified medical interpreter. She is passionate about ensuring that families from all linguistic backgrounds feel heard and supported throughout their birth and postpartum journey. Jani is well-versed in both birth and postpartum education and planning, providing families with the tools and confidence to navigate their perinatal experience.

Jani is deeply committed to community engagement, prioritizing volunteer work with Puget Sound Blood Center, Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders, and The Institute for Immigrant Concerns. As a board member of the Northwest Association for Perinatal Support (NAPS) and Chair of the Alliance for Social Equity Committee, she advocates for equity-focused, inclusive care, with an emphasis on uplifting marginalized groups and families.

Jani specializes in assisting first-time parents, single parents, same-sex couples, and those interested in hypnobirthing techniques. She takes a client-centered, non-judgmental approach, empowering families to make informed choices that align with their specific needs and values. Whether your birth plan includes medicated, unmedicated, or cesarean birth, Jani offers compassionate support tailored to each family’s vision.

Jani’s practice is grounded in strong clinical knowledge, combined with a warm, intuitive presence and clear, concise communication. Ensuring that all families feel respected, empowered, and safe is her top priority. She is a Certified Birth Doula trained in pain management techniques, including the use of a TENS unit, and is a NAPS-certified Postpartum Doula. This combination allows her to provide comprehensive care before, during, and after birth. Jani is an invaluable resource for families seeking personalized, seamless support.

Outside of her Doula practice, Jani finds joy in paddle boarding, hiking through the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty, and baking. As a certified Reiki Practitioner (Master level), she also leads sound bath healing events throughout Seattle, creating space for relaxation, connection, community and emotional healing.
