I am Shantel, your friendly neighborhood Doula.

My Role

My role as a doula is to come alongside expectant parents before, during, and just after childbirth by offering emotional support, physical comfort during labor, as well as informational resources related to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. The work I do is centered on reducing negative outcomes during the vulnerable experiences of pregnancy, childbirth, and infant care. 

Birth is a powerful and life changing experience that should be held with dignity. As your doula, I will be there to support you, encourage you, and inform you of the facts based in evidence.

It is my pleasure to serve as a doula with love for my neighbor, respect for the philology of birth, and pride in my community. I am here to assist birthing parents and partners with receiving the prenatal and postpartum care they deserve, and to assist with protecting the memories of pregnancy and birth.
