Ohh hey there! I'm really glad you're here!
If you’d told a younger version of me that I’d work in birth, I would’ve laughed—and panicked. I grew up terrified of the process, but when I decided to become a parent, I knew I had to turn that fear into understanding. Through deep research preparing for my own first pregnancy, curiosity replaced my anxiety, and I fell in love with the way we move through these transformative seasons.
Becoming a doula and educator is the work my heart was searching for all along. I’ve been a doula since 2019 and an educator for over 10 years, bringing a decade of experience into how I support families.
Wherever you are in your journey — from preconception through postpartum — I offer a calm, knowledgeable presence grounded in evidence-based information and real connection.
If things feel like a lot right now... I believe you. I felt that way, too. I’m here to walk through it with you—the same way my own doulas walked with me—grounded in care, trust, and steady support.
I’m a grounding, supportive kind of hype person—ready to meet you where you are and help you feel confident in the moments that matter.
If it feels right, let’s grab a coffee or tea. I’m honored you’re considering inviting me onto your birth team!
Let's get those pesky
credentials out of the way:
Birth Doula
Trained & qualified through DONA (2019)
Childbirth Educator
Certified Childbirth Educator through ProDoula and a professional member of Evidence Based Birth and [M]otherboard Birth.
Background
I earned my B.S. in Speech Pathology & Audiology in 2015 and spent years as an educator, teaching both third grade and preschool. After beginning my Master’s in Elementary Education, I felt a shift in my calling. Prior to the birth of my oldest, I stepped away from the classroom to fully lean into birth work—and from that transition, Harvest Moon Birth Services was born.

Hello! I'm Shauna.
I feel deeply called to walk alongside families during the sacred threshold of bringing new life into the world. My mission is to provide the love, deep appreciation, and intuitive understanding that every parent deserves during this magical, life-giving journey.
While I support families through the entire birth process, my heart is currently centered on the postpartum experience. I believe the "fourth trimester" is a time for deep healing and transition. As your postpartum doula, I am there to nurture you as you nurture your baby—offering steady hands for newborn care, a calm presence for emotional processing, and the practical support you need to feel confident and rested in your new rhythm.
I approach my services holistically, recognizing that every family's story is a unique masterpiece. My goal is to provide you with unwavering encouragement, friendship, and support tailored specifically to your needs.
To complement my doula heart, I am also a practiced energy healer. I consider myself truly blessed to weave these healing modalities into my care, offering a peaceful and grounded environment for you and your little one. I can’t wait to meet you and support your beautiful journey!

My passion for supporting families started young and has always been the heart of my career.

Hi, I’m Lena!
I’m here to help you feel supported,
encouraged, and cared for as you prepare for birth and adjust to life with your baby.
I truly believe the entire journey,
pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, deserves
the same level of attention and care. You shouldn’t have to figure any of it out alone.
Before becoming a doula, I spent over a
decade in Early Childhood Education. Working closely with young children and their families showed me how much it matters for parents
to feel supported and confident right from the start. Then I became a mom myself,
and my own experiences made this
calling even clearer. It all just clicked.
I was the kid who always said I wanted to be a mom when I grew up, so in a way, I feel like I’ve been headed toward this work my whole life.
My style is calm, down-to-earth, evidence-based, and always centered on your particular needs. For support during pregnancy and birth, help with newborn care, a listening ear, a chance to nap or shower, or someone to bring steadiness to a wobbly moment, I’m here for both the practical and emotional support.
I’m so grateful to do this work and to be invited into such a special chapter in your family’s story.
