created to birth
childbirth education
here to support the support.
I started in the medical field when I was 19 years old, becoming an EMT. I was there for over a decade. Then, after giving birth to each of my own 6 children, my love of birth really started to bloom. I got certified through ICEA as a birth doula and went on to receive further training and certification through StillBirthday, Evidence-Based Birth, and more.
From there, I started a non-profit called Journey Birth and Wellness to assist the births of underserved communities in my area. I also started Global Birth Community where I now train and certify other women to become birthworkers and doulas.
I use traditional language as God designed the genders to be, and stay true to helping families achieve the kind of birth they most desire.
I believe birth is one of the most critical times in a woman's life and that she should have access to all the education, support, and community that they seek. It takes a village to raise a child, and I truly desire to help women thrive in motherhood.
This is a great non-overwhelming overview for all expecting mammas. The playlist provides a resource on many topics new mothers may have questions about.

Thank you Shanna for taking the time to create such an informative, easy to use Birth Education program.
I loved the fact that I was able to hop on whenever I had time. It was very easy to find where I left off. She included so many wonderful topics about birth.
I gleaned such important information about pregnancy, labor, delivery, and beyond.
I would absolutely recommend Created to Birth to all Mothers and their support teams! Well done Mrs. Shanna. I look forward to what you will create to support families in the future!
