About đź‘‹

Hi I’m Shanay, born in Western Australia, in a small town south of Perth.

My first birth at 22 years old in NYC was the most incredible, sacred experience. I experienced how liberating birth can be with the right atmosphere. Never knowing birth could be like this, birth was exactly how I envisioned it, it was my journey and no one else's.

My personal experience led me to pursue birth studies and my passion is guiding new parents with confidence and understanding. Birthing from within can be accessed by all and each birthing experience is unique, brings growth and discovery.

Being a mother now of three children and having had them all in a foreign country, I understand the importance of new families' needs and the need for being surrounded by emotional support.

I offer reassurance, calmness, non-judgement, and evidence-based support and guidance for birth and postpartum.

I’ve supported over 110 births and over 100 families postpartum. I am also the co-founder of Mama Muun, a postpartum meal delivery service.

I look forward to working with you!
