Your Story
Hi there!
I'M YOUR
DOULA!
For the past decade I have had the privilege of supporting families throughout the Puget Sound in a variety of ways with half of that time being focused on full-spectrum doula services. As a mother of young children, I understand the importance of a supportive village during this transformative time, and as a doula, my goal is to be one of the first people in your new community. I pride myself on providing support that builds your confidence, educates you on all of your options, advocates for you in your time of need, and more. With my unique experience as a nanny, mom, caregiver and doula I am able to help ease the transition whether you are having you first baby or 4th. Imagine your mom, teacher, best friend, and cheer leader wrapped all into one person... that's me!
ACOG- "continuous one-to-one emotional support provided by support personnel, such as a doula, is associated with improved outcomes for women in labor...As summarized in a Cochrane evidence review, a woman who received continuous support was less likely to have a cesarean birth or a newborn with a low 5-minute Apgar score.

What Clients Say
I am beyond grateful to have Sheilena as our Doula. During labor/birth she was calm, caring & skilled. In a time of vulnerability & unpredictability, I felt safe under her care. She knew how to navigate between the nurses, doctors, my husband & myself. Her guidance & knowledge was more than I could ask for. Sheilena is truly one of the top reasons for my positive birth experience.
