Shanaée, Full Spectrum Doula and Lactation Counselor, Placenta Encapsulation Specialist, Newborn Care Specialist

I came to doula work through a deep passion for supporting families during some of the most transformative moments of their lives. After witnessing how powerful informed, compassionate care can be during pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period, I felt called to step into this role and help create more positive, supported experiences for birthing people. As a doula in training, my philosophy centers on meeting families exactly where they are - honoring their choices, validating their emotions, and offering steady, nonjudgmental support. I believe postpartum care should feel like a soft landing: a blend of emotional grounding, practical help, and evidence-based guidance that makes the transition into parenthood feel more supported and less overwhelming.

I have a special interest in newborn care education, breastfeeding support, and helping families build confidence in their own instincts. My background in caregiving and community support work has shaped how I show up - calm, intuitive, and deeply committed to holding space for the unique needs of each family. Outside of doula work, I love spending time with my family, creating cozy candles, and exploring the healing and grounding side of motherhood and community care. I’m grateful and excited to walk alongside families on their journey and to continue growing in this beautiful, meaningful work.
