Hello there! I’m Shala, a holistic birth and postpartum doula for nearly a decade. I am deeply passionate about women’s health and supporting their reconnection to their own innate wisdom through a newfound relationship with food, self-care and the natural world . For 2 years, I studied directly under a midwife as a student and gained extensive knowledge of the clinical side of pregnancy and postpartum that I bring to my practice gently as a resource for parents who are deeply curious about all things birth. I believe that birth and the postpartum period is a wild and individual journey that should be honored as such, held with reverence and a non-judgmental approach.

As a holistic doula, I am here to hold space, provide evidence-based information and resources, advocate, inspire and support you and your family’s individual needs. As a Holistic postpartum doula, I will pamper and honor the postpartum mother during her transition with reverence, humility, expert care and warmth that will enable her to truly heal and seal the birth process. Through postpartum care, I offer newborn care (day and night), placenta encapsulation (TCM), belly binding, nutritional and herbal support (virtual availability), and La Cerrada or “Closing of the Bones”.
