An empowered birth
is your birthright.

Pregnancy is the catalyst that catapults us from maiden, to mother. And you don't have to do it alone. This transformational right of passage is a time where community and support is pivotal and really, necessary. When we feel supported, confident, capable and powerful, we feel ready to take on this new chapter and all that comes along with it.

The Big Day

Receive my undivided attention and loving support during one of the most transformational experiences life has to offer.

MY 
APPROACH

I want to work with you to educate, gather information, and make the best choices for you and your family.  I want to help you feel empowered through this experience.  I will guide you through this journey and continue on your side as long as needed.  I hope to provide a sense of calm and reassurance to you and your partner.  My goal for everyone is to be able to look back at their birth and feel well cared for and empowered.  I also don't want finances to be a reason for someone to not have a doula, so please speak to me about my sliding scale option!

Don't see what you're looking for? Just because it's not on my site, doesn't mean I don't offer it. Contact me with any further inquiries and I am happy to assist you in any way I can.

Heading 3

My last pregnancy, our family of four became a family of six.  My life was changed again forever and full of so much love! 

FULL HANDS
FULL HEARTS

"Our doula is one of the most wonderful people Sam and I have ever met. Jack's birth was long and very unpredictable at times, but her support kept us going. If you are considering any support during pregnancy and birth, I would highly recommend @shan_d_doula."
