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! |

I am a Birth Doula, Guided Breath Facilitator & use BRM tools for birth. My role is to create a safe, nurturing space where clients can feel heard, respected, and supported in making informed decisions every step of the way.
Through a holistic approach that integrates breathwork, body awareness, and mindfulness, I guide clients to connect with their bodies and harness the power of their breath to navigate the challenges of labor and birth. By teaching practical techniques for relaxation, pain management, and emotional grounding, I empower families to tap into their innate strength and wisdom.
I am committed to providing continuous physical, emotional, and informational support, fostering confidence, comfort, and trust in both the birthing process and in themselves. With a focus on body-centered techniques, such as breath and movement, I aim to help clients release tension, manage pain, and remain centered in the present moment.
My goal is to ensure that every person I serve feels fully supported, valued, and respected, and that they emerge from their birth experience feeling empowered, connected, and proud of their journey. Hope to hear from you. |
