Doula

First and foremost, I am the Wife of an amazingly endearing and supportive Man who is the love of my life. I am the Mother of five beautiful blessings from above who covers the crossroads of college on down into toddlerhood! Every year and age with them seems to be my favorite. I have had two natural hospital births and three home births. I have a great deal of experience with Breastfeeding and the multitude of pleasures and challenges that come through that rewarding journey. The beauty and simple complexity of a woman’s ability to grow little miracles astound me and has become the foundation for my calling and purpose in this life.

My passions in the world of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood include education on the many options available to women and their babies, teen pregnancy, support of military families, nutrition, homeopathy, essential oils, nutrition, natural childbirth, home birth, VBAC & HBAC, vaccine awareness, circumcision education, breastfeeding, cloth diapering, baby-wearing, co-sleeping, gentle parenting and a woman’s right to choose and make an informed decision about the birth she wants, above all else.

    Shelby gives the best birthing experience. She was so supportive for my husband and I throughout this entire process. Being our first pregnancy, we had so many questions and none were left in answered. She took care of us emotionally, physically and spiritually and we couldn’t have had a better birthing experience. She was amazing in every way.

    I am forever grateful that my husband and I decided to have Shelby be our doula. We decided to hire a doula due to unique circumstances – I was moving to the San Antonio area during my third trimester without having any local family or friends, and I would be giving birth at a hospital where my birthing team would be whichever staff was working at the time, likely a team I never met before. ...

    I've taken three different childbirth classes and this is hands down the best childbirth education class. She reviews all the options for birthing. Very informative, doesn't sugar coat anything, helps relieve any fears and the unknowns you worry about during pregnancy. Explains how and why and gives great examples and visuals for labor. ...
