Meet your Doula

Truth Birth Care began with a simple belief: every birthing person deserves to feel heard, supported, and deeply cared for through one of life’s most tender seasons.

I’m Shaune, a G.R.O.W. Certified Doula trained through Healthy Start as well as a Certified Breastfeeding Peer Counselor. I support families throughout Broward County, Florida and beyond, offering thoughtful care from pregnancy through birth and those first precious weeks at home.

My approach is birthing person-led. Your voice, values, and informed decisions guide the care I provide. I’m here to walk alongside you, help you feel prepared, offer reassurance when things feel uncertain, and bring a calm, steady presence to your birthing experience.

And the care doesn’t end when your baby arrives. Whether it’s a quiet night of rest while I care for your newborn, gentle support as you find your feeding rhythm, or simply a moment to catch your breath, my hope is that you never feel like you have to move through this season alone.

Because caring for your baby begins with caring for you.

What I believe

  • Your birth, your choices.
  • Honest information, gently given.
  • Respect for your medical team.
  • Comfort when welcomed, space when needed.
