Shaina has been supporting families in the birth and postpartum space since 2019, when she was unexpectedly invited into birth-work after being asked to "doula" for her sister-in-law. What began as a single experience quickly grew into a deep passion for supporting families during one of life's most transformative seasons.

While Shaina has a deep appreciation for birth, the postpartum period is where her heart truly lies. She believes those early weeks and months are tender, sacred, and deserving of far more support than most families receive. Welcoming a new baby means welcoming an entirely new version of a family, and she believes every parent deserves to be held, supported, and cared for as they cross that threshold.

After relocating to Spain with her husband and three children, Shaina was looking for a way to stay connected to the birth community she loves. Joining the agency team allowed her to continue supporting families in a new capacity, bridging the gap between clients and doulas, ensuring families receive exceptional care, and helping doulas feel supported as they do their important work. She often jokes that she "doulas the doulas," offering guidance, encouragement, and behind-the-scenes support so both clients and care providers can thrive.

Known for her calm presence and practical support, Shaina believes families don't need perfection... they need connection, reassurance, and someone firmly in their corner.

Shaina is also the team's resident certified pediatric sleep consultant, bringing additional expertise in infant and child sleep to the families and doulas she serves.

When she's not working, you'll likely find her with a good book, out on a hiking trail, embroidering, caring for her three children, or soaking up the adventure of everyday life in Spain.
