| Hi! My name is Shana Bartlett and I live on the westside of Santa Cruz where my husband and I have raised our 5 children, three daughters and two sons, ages 26 to 14. After giving birth to my oldest with the support of an amazing Doula I decided I wanted to be involved in birth work. I have had the privilege of helping many friends and family members throughout their pregnancies and births for the past 26 years. Now, with my children all becoming independent, I am excited to be able to work as a trained Birth Doula. It brings me so much joy to be able to support and be an advocate for women and families in this unique season of their lives. I am also available for basic postpartum care if desired. Please reach out if you want to meet up and see if we are a good fit! |
