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 27 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, it has been a true blessing to be able to work as a trained Birth Doula. This work 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 for those I worked with as their Birth Doula if desired. Please reach out if you want to meet up and see if we are a good fit!
*Able to work with more insurance companies and accept Medi-Cal clients |
