Shannon Baker

Birth Doula & Postpartum Doula

Shannon has a warm and loving heart dedicated to serving others and birth is something that she has always been interested in.

Early in college, Shannon considered obstetrics; but, she didn’t want to focus only on medical care so she stayed the course of counseling which allowed for more of a holistic approach to care. (She did not know about doulas then!)

Shannon received her A.A.S. in Human Services and B.A. in Psychology. Her life’s work has been coaching people through life’s challenges, offering encouragement, and uplifting the soul!

 When Shannon learned about doulas and their role in supporting mothers, she knew that being a doula was the path that she was now intended to take. Shannon doesn't consider being a doula as something that she chose. She considers it a calling, a harnessing of her previous work, life lessons, and passions put into action into one arena. She believes that being a doula is the embodiment of servanthood. She can’t think of anything better, more beautiful, or miraculous.

Shannon loves children and has always been the type of person who scoops up babies/ little ones to love on them and interact with them. Shannon and her husband have two amazing daughters and lots of barnyard friends!

She also enjoys nature, hiking, gardening, DIY projects, and astrophotography! If she's not engaged in one of these things, you'll find her playing piano and singing praise!
