Our Story
Alba and Shannon, both passionate advocates for maternal mental health, found themselves drawn together by a shared vision. They envisioned a space where mothers could receive holistic support throughout their journey.
They embarked on this inspiring venture with a shared commitment to address not just the physical aspects of childbirth but also the emotional and spiritual dimensions. Together, they created a welcoming practice that seamlessly blended the wisdom of doula services with the therapeutic expertise crucial for mental health.
They hope to create a sanctuary for expectant mothers and new parents seeking more than just clinical care. Alba and Shannon designed comprehensive prenatal and postnatal education, incorporating mindfulness, and empowering families with knowledge and resilience.
