#DoulaLife
1 MILLION VIEWS… wow 🥹🤍
What started as me simply sharing a real moment has now reached so many people, moms, families, and women preparing for birth 🩷
This reminds me that people aren’t just looking for content… they’re looking for REAL support, education, honesty, and preparation.
Thank you to everyone who watched, shared, commented, followed, supported, or simply took something away from that video 🤍
This is only the beginning for Shauny’s Doula Services 💕
More education. More support. More impact.
And to every mom preparing for birth right now… I got you 🩷

POV: You’re a traditional doula without saying you’re a traditional doula. 😂
Me: “Now what in the postpartum ritual robe is this?” 🤔
@birthinwithb behind the camera was just as clueless as I was. 😂 (& she’s our homebirth doula who’s birthed all three of her babies at home so you already she don’t know what this gown is 🤎)
Nurse: “It’s a lactation gown.”
Well… you really do learn something new at every birth. 🤣
As traditional doulas, you’ll catch us in the hospital at times, yes… but please believe you won’t catch us in scrubs. & nine times out of ten, our mamas are pulling up in a comfy muumuu anyway. 😂✨

ICH HABE EINE HEBAMME GEFUNDEN!
🥹🥹🥹
Ihr wisst gar nicht wie sehr ich mich darüber freue, dass ich jetzt vor und nach der Entbindung in sicheren Händen bin. 🥹🍼🫶
Für mich war es von Anfang an klar, dass ich diese Reise mit einer Hebamme gemeinsam bestreiten möchte: Das erste Bad, das Stillen, die ersten Tage mit dem kleinen Wollknäuel, eventuelle Behandlung von Geburtsverletzungen, Vorbereitung auf die Geburt etc.
Wie soll ich das alles ohne eine Hebamme wissen?
Daher freue ich mich umso mehr, dass meine fantastische Doula mir angeboten hat, ebenfalls die Hebammenbetreuung zu übernehmen.
Denn diese Doula, ist nicht nur eine Doula, sondern auch selbst Mutter, ausgebildete Hebamme und Medizinstudentin. ✨
Ich bin so unglaublich dankbar. 🫶
Was sagt ihr?
Braucht man eine Hebamme für die Zeit danach? Ja oder Nein?

Being a doula / birth worker is not only a deeply profound, beautiful, and powerful experience—it transforms our lives, filling us with passion, love, and meaning. It is a calling that leads us to know ourselves at the deepest level and to accompany women through mutual discovery.
It is truly a sacred privilege to witness life being born, to support a woman as she transmutates into a mother, and to welcome a new member into the family circle.
Join us at the Eat Pray Doula Retreats—a transformative space to deepen your practice, reconnect with your calling, and nourish your spirit alongside a loving community of birth workers.

You’ve probably seen curb walking trending on social media as a way to “kickstart” labor.
But is it actually effective—or just another internet myth?
The idea behind it: walking with one foot on the curb and one on the street creates pelvic asymmetry, encouraging baby to descend and potentially trigger labor.
But here’s the truth:
👉 There’s no clinical evidence that curb walking induces labor.
👉 No strong anecdotal data, either.
👉 And it can increase the risk of falls—a real concern in late pregnancy when balance is already challenged.
That said, walking in general during the third trimester is well-supported by research.
A randomized clinical trial found that walking regularly in late pregnancy:
✅ Improved Bishop scores (meaning better cervical readiness)
✅ Increased spontaneous labor onset
✅ Lowered rates of induction, cesarean, and instrumental delivery
✅ Had no negative impact on Apgar scores
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8395880/
If you’re looking for a safer, more effective alternative to support baby’s descent and pelvic opening?
Try gentle lunges—ideally with support from a wall, railing, or partner. They mimic the pelvic movement curb walking aims for, without the instability.
✨ In my Mama Pathway course, I share all the evidence-based tools I teach midwifery and medical clients to feel strong, informed, and grounded going into labor—without gimmicks or guesswork.
✨ Comment READY and I’ll DM you the link to learn more about safer, science-backed ways to support your labor naturally.
🧠 What other pregnancy or labor trends have you heard about that you’d like me to break down? Drop them below—let’s unpack the facts together.
For the last 10 years I’ve been creating programs and products that doulas around the world are learning from. While my name may not be widely known, the curriculums and products that I’ve created, updated and expanded definitely are. Now I’m writing and creating for myself and the greater good of the doula community at large. My goals are simple; create better doulas so that more families can benefit from doula care. If you’ve learned from me on any platform stay tuned! You’re going to want to see what’s next. If you’re looking for mentorship, advice, support or need a resource feel free to comment below or send me a DM. #doulalife #birth #evidencebased #doulabusiness #doula
"If your baby has a birth day, you had a 'real' birth. We need to stop being so flippant about judging births that AREN’T OURS!" 👏👏👏
