birth doula Chicago Kenosha Woodstock Illinois Wisconsin

With over five years of hands-on clinical experience, I bring both knowledge and heart to my work as a 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-trained 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.”
