My name is Janet Villani-Smith. I am a mother, a Bradley Method® childbirth educator, a doula, an artist, a cook, a quilter, a gardener, and a curious person. If there is a rock to turn over, I can't resist but flip it - the natural world offers tremendous wonders that I want to see and show others. My passion and teaching goal is to enhance a woman's knowledge and self-trust around the time of pregnancy and birth, to excite your curiosity, and build resilience in you and your partner.
I feel I am the luckiest person to have a job that allows me to work with couples at this amazing time in their lives. I am grateful to each and every one of them that trust me to provide information and guidance.

I am an affiliated Bradley Method® instructor and Doula.
