Meet Viv...
Viviana “Viv” Marcela Villa-Imbachi is one of the Tri-State area’s most experienced bilingual Birth and Postpartum Doulas, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Childbirth Educator, with over 18 years of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, the fourth trimester, and beyond.
Known for her calm, nurturing presence and hands-on approach, Viv combines evidence-based practices with traditional postpartum care to provide personalized support tailored to each family’s unique needs and goals. Her mission is to help parents feel informed, empowered, and confident as they navigate the transition into parenthood.
Viv began her doula journey in 2008 after the birth of her third child, when she experienced firsthand the value of having knowledgeable, compassionate support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Inspired by that experience, she dedicated her career to helping other families feel supported every step of the way.
As a mother of five, Viv understands that every pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey is different. Her personal experience, combined with nearly two decades of professional expertise, allows her to provide compassionate, nonjudgmental care that meets families where they are.
