Meet Shelby

Hi, I’m Shelby, a postpartum doula in Charlotte, NC. I find I am my happiest when I am empowering others to learn, grow, and succeed. When I am not working as a doula, I am hanging out with my two boys and husband, preferably outside on a walk or eating good food. I also love to reading a good mystery book, having coffee with a friend, or taking time for watercoloring.

Every birth is a new chapter in a family’s story and can set the tone for the postpartum period. In my first birth, I discovered a story of strength, perseverance, and teamwork. In my second birth, I came away with a story of success and healing. There is no guarantee for the details of any of our births, but we can cultivate birthing teams that understand and support our birthing goals. As a labor doula, I help families navigate the unexpected twists and turns of labor while still writing a story of connection and empowerment.

It is my goal to approach each birth as a new story and create an environment that fosters a sense of calm and beauty. I realize that no two labors are the same, and each birthing person needs a unique approach. Because of this, I focus my energy on supporting the story you hope to cultivate. I bring with me the knowledge, experience, strength, and peace of a trained labor doula and gladly lend it to those on the precipice of their own beginning, needing reassurance and regulation to turn the next page.

My mission is to empower and encourage women— the real-life superheroes of this world.
