Juliana Akinyooye, Founder
Villij was born from a personal reckoning. After moving to the United States from the UK, I was struck by how differently postpartum care is treated here compared to the NHS system I grew up with — and how alone so many new mothers are left to navigate it.
As a mother of two and a Senior Product Manager with over a decade in tech, I had both the lived experience and the skills to do something about it.
But the deeper roots go further back. My mother watched her grandmother deliver babies as a child, passing down traditional wisdom about care, community, and what women truly need in those early weeks.
That knowledge found its way to me and through me, to friends who needed it. Villij is my way of making sure it reaches every new mother who needs it, matched with the right provider, at the right time.
