HELLO, I´M SHAMEKAH, A HOLISTIC PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM PRACTITIONER
I help women have an empowered pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey through TRUTH & LOVE (and lots of encouragement 😉
I am Shamekah and I am so excited to meet you! I wholeheartedly believe that every woman should have the opportunity to have an empowered and beautiful pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. Women have been given the special ability to carry and nurture life and it should be a time of growth (and maybe even healing) for her in all areas (not just her body;)
I am a mother to 3 very special kids with my last pregnancy being very unexpected and an adventure for sure. It was my 1st homebirth after being a labor nurse for 11 years and having 2 hospital births with my 13 and 17-year-old kids. And to imagine God decided I should give birth 4 days before turning 40 years young and newly divorced from an abusive relationship! (You’ll come to learn that I am a pretty transparent person because there should be no shame in our story of healing and grace.) I thank God for helping me to understand that we are truly stronger than we think and anything is possible.
I have learned over the years how important Truth and Love are and how sometimes we have been taught misconceptions concerning them both. We were created as integrated beings and each part of us has been designed with the capacity to thrive – body, soul (mind & emotions), and spirit. Because of this truth, I have been on a journey to not only thrive myself, but to come alongside other women to help them do the same. As a nurse (with over 11 years experience in obstetrics), doula, certified nutritional counselor, life coach, soul care practitioner, childbirth educator, and an array of life experiences, I have a skill set and passion to serve with excellence

My Wellness Philosophy
Simple Ways To Feel Your Best…
Nourish
If you want to be healthy, you need to make sure you are set up to be healthy. The best place to start is in the kitchen, by throwing out all processed and refined foods
Rest
Rest is vital for better mental health, increased concentration and memory, a healthier immune system, reduced stress, improved mood and even a better metabolism. Let’s learn about all the types of rest!
Allow Space To Feel
Stress wreaks havoc on the body, and is a causative factor to numerous health issues. Finding ways to deal with stress more effectively is a crucial part of my lifestyle.
Find Joy & Freedom in Movement
Exercise is so important, it gets energy flowing around your body, calms your mind, boosts your metabolism and releases natural endorphins to make you feel amazing.
The Power of Compassion
Every pregnancy and birth experience should be approached with a high level of compassionate care. It is a time that creates a level of vulnerability in a woman’s life and I am here to support you throughout your journey without judgement.
Mental & Emotional Wellness
It’s important for our hearts and minds to be in alignment. In order for that to happen we have to be intentional and process our feelings in a healthy way just as much as we change our mindset. And not to mention they both interact with our physical bodies in a very integrated way.
