Meet Shannon

Birth Doula + Herbalist

Shannon has always been fascinated by the miracle of childbirth, which ultimately led her to pursue her passion for birthwork. She discovered her calling by supporting friends and loved ones through their birth journeys. She realized how valuable it is for birthing people and their partners to experience the specific support, guidance, and comfort a doula can provide. 

Shannon believes in providing compassionate, unbiased knowledge and support tailored to the unique needs of every birthing person and their partner. She understands that beyond the medical aspects, there is a need for emotional and spiritual guidance throughout the birthing journey.

She recognizes the importance of creating a sacred and empowering memory of birth to carry throughout postpartum and the new terrain of parenthood. 

In addition to her work as a doula, Shannon is an herbalist. She loves combining her passions by sharing her wisdom of herbal practices during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. 

Using an integrated, holistic approach, Shannon dedicates herself to guiding and honoring all birthing individuals and their partners, ensuring their journey into parenthood is met with compassion and support.

Meet Amanda

Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, & Childbirth Educator

Amanda is a Full Spectrum Doula (birth, postpartum, and childbirth education) where she supports women during their birthing journeys, postpartum, and through infant care. She primarily works with birth clients as that’s where her intuition is guiding her at the moment. The same calming energy she provides in a yoga class as a yoga teacher is transferred over into any birth setting such as a hospital, birth center or home. Amanda prides herself on providing a grounding presence for clients to seek comfort. She believes in the power of birthing people and is there as an advocate for their birth preferences. Your birth, your choice.

Amanda received her 200HR yoga certification at Tula Yoga in 2019. She’s Yin Yoga and Reiki Level One certified since March of 2022. She holds yin yoga close to her heart as she understands the importance of getting comfortable with the discomfort as well as the long list of benefits of finding stillness. In her classes, you can expect to be challenged in your emotional, mental and physical bodies. She encourages her students to find alignment within and to listen to their bodies throughout her entire class. Amanda is there to hold space, support her students, and ensure class will leave her students feeling safe and relaxed. Amanda’s heart is full when all those worlds come together in her practice as a yogi and a doula.

Meet Vicky

Certified Birth + Postpartum Doula and Photographer

From a young age, Vicky has loved taking care of babies—mothering, nurturing, and connecting with others. As a child, she would often visit neighbors or family with a beautiful newborn baby, offering to help care for the baby whenever she had the chance. But her need to nurture didn’t stop at babies. She frequently stopped by elderly folks’ homes, bringing care packages or sitting with them and listening to their stories.

At 22, she became a mother to the first of five children—and from those early days, she knew she was made to not only be a mom but also to help others through the earliest stages of childhood.

For the past 10 years, she has been working with newborns in the hospital—first as a photographer, then adding the role of NICU assistant to her repertoire. She has also spent time as a Patient Care Tech in the Mother–Baby department, where she cared not only for newborns but also for their mothers and partners.

All of these experiences—connecting with parents and bringing her compassionate nature to such a delicate stage of life—helped her realize that becoming a doula was the perfect blend of her skills, experience, and passion. And she’s loved every minute of it.
