Certified Birth Doula in Chicagoland and SE Wisconsin

With over five years of hands-on clinical experience,
I bring both knowledge and heart to my role as a Certified Birth Doula.

I’m passionate about educating and empowering families through every stage of pregnancy, labor and birth - helping you feel confident, supported and informed as you make the choices that are right for you.

What does Birth Doula support look like in Chicagoland and Southeastern Wisconsin?

There is the old saying that “knowledge is power” - this is so true!

I truly believe every family deserves to understand what to expect and explore their options
at every step of pregnancy and birth.

Building a trusting relationship with each client is at the heart of my care
—so when labor begins, you feel supported and confident on a strong foundation of trust.

As a DONA certified birth doula, I offer personalized support tailored to your unique journey
—whether you’re welcoming your baby at home, a birth center, or hospital.

From pregnancy through labor, birth, lactation, and postpartum,
I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

  • “Shauna was fantastic. Would strongly recommend having a doula for birth in general, and can personally recommend Shauna based on our own experience. She cares so much for you, it is not just a client relationship. We had a rather long labor, and Shauna was with us for almost 24 hours straight, until Baby arrived and we were settled. She is calm and was very good at recommending the next exercise/activity/rest option to help us cope with and move labor along. As it was our first birth, we both had our own insecurities and uncertainties of what to expect. Having Shauna there helped both of us relax, rest as needed, and we got the homebirth we were aiming for.”

  • “Shauna was an incredible support for my husband and I throughout my pregnancy, incredibly long and difficult labor and delivery and postpartum too! Shauna truly is such a caring person and she is super easy to talk to and connect with. We are so thankful we chose her as our doula!”

  • “My wife and I had a fantastic experience with Shauna as our doula! This was our first child and having Shauna as a support and resource during the pregnancy was both helpful and reassuring. Our birth experience proved to be unideal in several ways, but Shauna was with us through all of it. She provided helpful suggestions, reasoned with us through difficult decisions, and was generally a bright spot through a challenging experience. We highly recommend her to anyone and if we were not moving soon, would use her for future births!”

  • “Shauna joined us very late on our second pregnancy journey. She was so supportive and knowledgeable being still one of her first Doula clients! When it came time for delivery she was calm and supportive throughout the entire process and so mindful of my birth wants and desires with having to go to a plan B option already with an induction. The nurses all came in after Shauna left the hospital and just raved about her demeanor and techniques through the birthing process and could not believe she had only been to a few other births prior to mine! I would highly recommend Shauna!”
