POSTPARTUM DOULA

Hello! I am Shanna (like Hannah). As a Full-Spectrum Doula with six kids of my own, I offer a unique blend of professional expertise and personal experience that makes me both relatable and compassionate. I am DONA trained, PA state certified, and have training in bereavement and lactation. I am always taking new classes and learning new things. I’ve been a doula since 2021 and have worked independently, as well as with The Birth Circle at Magee. From prenatal care to postpartum recovery, I’ve been through it all. I’ve navigated the ups, downs, and “what just happened?!” moments of pregnancy and birth more than a few times, so I get it, and I’m here to support you through your journey, no matter what it looks like.

What sets me apart is my ability to create a space that’s not only comforting but also fun. I’m gentle and attentive, but I’m also a little sarcastic (in the best way, of course). I know that sometimes laughter is the best medicine, and I’m all about bringing a sense of lightness and humor into what can sometimes feel like an all-encompassing experience. My goal is to make sure you feel seen, heard, and empowered while still keeping things real and, when appropriate, a little bit irreverent.

Whether you’re birthing at home, navigating a hospital setting, or facing a loss, I offer support that’s as flexible and varied as your needs. I believe in the power of knowledge, the importance of choice, and the beauty of laughter, even in the most challenging moments. Every family is different, and my aim is to create an environment where you feel completely supported—without ever feeling like you’re going through it alone.
