Doula care from Blossom to Bloom

Breathe.

Birth is a sacred event and a strenuous omeone to help you feel safe and confident in your decisions throughout pregnancy. Doula care begins the second you hire me and doesn't stop with a 30-minute postpartum visit. This is a community. Hiring a doula opens your world to many moms groups, postpartum support, women's birth stories, doula tips and a higher standard of care. Let me join you on your journey through motherhood and beyond. This experience will shape you, heal you and open you to the wonderful things that come with being a mother.


​Relax.

Pregnancy can be an overwhelming ride. Let me help you navigate the way. A doula is not only a friend, she is your very own personal birth planner. Take the hard thinking out of pregnancy and hire a doula to be your go-to friend for all you questions, worries and wishes.


​Pamper yourself.

Hi! I'm Shannon!

I am a Holistic Doula in Charlotte North Carolina.  I love Trader Joe's, thrifting, rock climbing, drinking tea and studying women's health.

I grew up watching my grandmother's calm hands as she helped women labor, including my mom and aunts.  When she passed away, I was in the mountains of Switzerland questioning where my life would go next without her guiding me. And then out of nowhere popped up an opportunity to be a live-in nanny for Sarah from sagemamadoula.  Later on I apprenticed with Heidi from mydoulaheidi and Kira from Min-R-T.  

Since certifying as a doula, I have learned so much about the midwifery model of care here in Charlotte, NC. I am familiar with many great midwives, the best hospitals to give birth and many birth education resources. I have attended La Leche League meetings, taken various childbirth education classes (Bradley Method, Hypnobabies), and apprenticed some of Charlotte's Top Doulas!
I work closely with the Midwives at Novant Presbytarian
Novant Health Carmel OBGYN
Atrium Piedmont OBGYN
CMC Pineville
Natural Beginnings Birth Center
who have the lowest C-section rates in Charlotte, NC.
​As well as Homebirths


​Meet my Doula partner Emily!


​​​My name is Emily Mulvey.  I live in Charlotte with my fiance, two dogs, and a house full of plants!  I am a Certified Labor Doula who is passionate about empowering women to have the birth they desire.  I believe inherently in the power and beauty of women and of birth.  My style as a doula is to create and hold an uninterrupted, nurturing space for families to have their own experience.  As a postpartum nurse, I have a strong background in supporting women.  My pursuit of my doula certificate was born out of a desire to spend more time supporting women than I am able to as a nurse.
