Meet Certified Birth Doula Shauna Davis CD(DONA)

Welcome! I’m Shauna—married to my husband, Rich, for almost 25 years. We have three children, two boys and one girl, now in their later teen and early adult years. We’ve lived in Woodstock, IL since 2020, and it’s been a wonderful place to call home.

My birth journeys with all three of my children were shaped by being told what I could and could not do with my body—and with theirs—by providers I believed had our best interests at heart. Those experiences led to interventions I neither wanted nor always needed. They were painful lessons, but they also sparked my passion for women’s health and set me on a path to advocate fiercely for the clients I’m privileged to support. It is incredibly important to me that the families I serve feel fully informed, empowered, and confident in every decision they make. To support that passion, I continue to pursue ongoing education through programs such as Spinning Babies and 4TFM. I am also in the teacher training program to become a Bradley Method Childbirth Education Instructor, with certification expected in 2026 through the AAHCC.

My professional history includes working for five years in Obstetrics & Gynecology as a Certified Medical Assistant. It was through this experience that I realized how deeply I loved women’s health in all of its aspects. While I was honored to clinically care for women in their prenatal and postpartum phases, I felt a pull to support women and their partners in a more tangible and intimate way—through the entire pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum journey.

In July 2024, I added to my formal training by completing DONA International training, and received the official title of “Birth Doula”. In 2025, I received my official Birth Doula Certification from DONA International.

In October 2024, I completed NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) Essential Provider Training. Although as a doula, I do not function in a clinical capacity, I wanted to be educated so I may inform and support my clients each step of the way - especially if they were ever in the situation where their newborn baby might require neonatal resuscitation.

When I’m not with clients, you can often find me in Lake Geneva for work, or on my front porch with a good book—usually birth-related—soaking up the fresh air whenever the weather allows

My goal as a doula is simple: to walk alongside you with compassion, evidence-based knowledge, and unwavering support, so you never feel alone, dismissed, or unsure of your options—something I wish I had during my births.

  • “Shauna was an incredible support for my husband and I throughout my pregnancy, incredibly long and difficult labor and delivery and postpartum too! Shauna truly is such a caring person and she is super easy to talk to and connect with. We are so thankful we chose her as our doula!”

  • “My wife and I had a fantastic experience with Shauna as our doula! This was our first child and having Shauna as a support and resource during the pregnancy was both helpful and reassuring. Our birth experience proved to be unideal in several ways, but Shauna was with us through all of it. She provided helpful suggestions, reasoned with us through difficult decisions, and was generally a bright spot through a challenging experience. We highly recommend her to anyone and if we were not moving soon, would use her for future births!”

  • “Shauna joined us very late on our second pregnancy journey. She was so supportive and knowledgeable being still one of her first Doula clients! When it came time for delivery she was calm and supportive throughout the entire process and so mindful of my birth wants and desires with having to go to a plan B option already with an induction. The nurses all came in after Shauna left the hospital and just raved about her demeanor and techniques through the birthing process and could not believe she had only been to a few other births prior to mine! I would highly recommend Shauna!”

  • “Shauna was fantastic. Would strongly recommend having a doula for birth in general, and can personally recommend Shauna based on our own experience. She cares so much for you, it is not just a client relationship. We had a rather long labor, and Shauna was with us for almost 24 hours straight, until Baby arrived and we were settled. She is calm and was very good at recommending the next exercise/activity/rest option to help us cope with and move labor along. As it was our first birth, we both had our own insecurities and uncertainties of what to expect. Having Shauna there helped both of us relax, rest as needed, and we got the homebirth we were aiming for.”
