My name is Sheilena and I am a full spectrum doula, birth photographer, educator and student midwife.
Hello!
I love a good cup of coffee and finding new places to visit and experience in all of the cities I have been too.
My favorite outdoor activity is walking Owens beach or a local trail on a cool, gray day with or without a little rain.
Being a caregiver is who I am at my core; I have been a nanny, adult caregiver and foster mom caring for all of my clients/charges as if they are my own family.
If I'm off call then I am most likely wrapped up in a blanket and book of some future or fantasy society.
I feel like the world is better with children; my daughters are constantly teaching me to look at things in a different light and to believe in the magic and wonder of the life around us.
