Hi there! I’m Shantel, and I’m so glad you’re here. As the founder and CEO of Doula S.M.I.L.E., my heart is dedicated to supporting and uplifting families during one of life’s most transformative experiences. I am a trained birth and postpartum doula through DONA International and Certified Lactation Counselor, my goal is to help you achieve the birth and postpartum experience you’ve always dreamed of, surrounded by warmth and understanding.

Being a mother of three, I’ve experienced the profound impact that loving, supportive care can have during this special time. My own journey as a parent has deeply inspired my work, and I’m passionate about helping you navigate your path with confidence and care.

I started Doula S.M.I.L.E. to ensure that every family feels empowered and informed, no matter what your journey looks like. I believe in giving you the knowledge and support you need so that you can advocate for yourself with a heart full of hope, knowing that I’m cheering you on every step of the way. I’ve seen the challenges that can come up, and I’m committed to helping you overcome them with love and support.

Outside of supporting families, I cherish dancing with my loved ones, savoring good food, and sharing laughter with those close to me. I can’t wait to be a part of your journey and provide the care and compassion you deserve.
