Welcome! I’m Shana Bartlett, a certified Birth Doula serving Santa Cruz, California, and the surrounding areas. With over 20 years of experience supporting families during pregnancy and birth, I am passionate about providing compassionate, personalized care during one of life’s most transformative seasons. My Services Include: • Prenatal Support: 2–3 in-depth meetings to prepare for birth, answer questions, and create a personalized birth plan. • 24/7 On-Call Availability: Starting at 38 weeks, I am on-call to support you whenever labor begins. • Labor and Delivery Support: Early labor support at home and continuous guidance and care during active labor at your chosen birthplace. • Advocacy and Education: Ensuring your birth preferences are respected while empowering you with evidence-based information. • Postpartum Visit: A follow-up visit to debrief, offer support, and ensure you are adjusting well. As a mother of five, a lifelong Santa Cruz resident, and someone who has personally experienced the beauty and challenges of pregnancy and birth, I understand how vital it is to have someone by your side who truly listens, encourages, and supports your unique journey. Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital delivery, or anything in between, I am here to help you feel prepared, empowered, and cared for. Let’s connect! I’d be honored to help you welcome your little one with confidence and peace.
