Doula care for a natural birth.
Breathe
Imagine having someone with you from the moment you hire her, until well beyond pregnancy. Someone 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 into 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.

Hi! I'm Shannon!
I am a Trader Joe's lovin', thrifting, rock climbing girl who loves drinking tea and reading books about women's health. I am a passionate Doula on the path of Midwifery. I moved to Charlotte a couple years ago, met the love of my life at Inner Peaks and set my roots down in cute little Plaza Midwood. I have lived in Switzerland, walked the Camino de Santiago, skied the alps, and have swam in negative degree icy waters. I love an adventure! I have learned the strengths of our human bodies. And that's why a woman giving birth amazes me so much. 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 am currently taking one of the most labor-intensive doula trainings in the world to further my education and better serve you! |
