Who am I?
I am a ex color guard captain, winter drummer, tailor and support for the GBMB in Janesville Wisconsin since 1998. I graduated from high school to start my family, engaged in 2006 and now am a stay at home wife and mother to five children. I am an inspiring doula, motivational speaker and animal hobbyist crafting fleece pet accessories for pets such as rats, sugar gliders and other fluffy animals. I do also keep a few reptiles.
I bred my first rat litter in 2005 and then a few more along the way with my husband's support, learning how to bottle feed was exhausting. The first lesson I learned was to always have two females with litters unless you're prepared to raise an entire litter on your own. But those rats I raised were the most friendly rats I had ever.
I have two small dogs as well; both mini Aussie mixes, one with rat terrier and the other with Boston. As a fitness fiend I love to hike or walk across town, and I love books so sometimes I take the youngster to the library for quiet activities. My husband and I do a lot of fishing when we can manage, I catch white stiped bass pretty well. We also love to go catfishing all day long in the summer.

What's a Doula?
🌟 *The Sacred Call of Spiritual Midwifery*🌟
As a doula, I'm fueled by the transformative power of Spiritual Midwifery – a philosophy that weaves together compassion, intuition, and the fierce belief that birth and motherhood are sacred rites of passage. For me, it's not just a practice; it's a calling to support women in the most profound moments of their lives.
*You're Not Alone in This Wild Ride* 🌿
Motherhood can feel like a solitary journey, but I'm here to remind you: you've got a village. My purpose is to be part of that village – to offer judgment-free support, a listening ear, and a safe space for you to unfold. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, birth, or the postpartum wilderness, I'll walk alongside you.
*Braving the Unknown Together* 💪
I believe in your strength, even when fear creeps in. My role is to mirror that strength back to you, to encourage you to trust your instincts, and to remind you that you're capable of more than you know. When doubt clouds your path, I'll help you find your way back to your inner wisdom.
*A Sanctuary for Moms* 🌸
Life gets messy, and sometimes you just need to pause, breathe, and reset. That's what I'm here for – to create a sanctuary where you can recalibrate, share your story, and find peace. Whether it's a gentle nudge, a listening ear, or a quiet space to process, consider me part of your tribe.
*This Isn't About Transactions; It's About Connection* ❤️
I don't see clients; I see friends, sisters, and fellow journeyers. My work as a doula is rooted in the belief that we're all part of a larger, interconnected web of support. Some days, just showing up is the magic – and that's what makes it worthwhile.
*To Every Woman Brave Enough to Ask for Help* 🌟
You have a support system. Lean into it. Ask me anything. Let's co-create this journey, grounded in the principles of Spiritual Midwifery, where empowerment, compassion, and intuition are the guiding lights.
With love, light, and a deep reverence for this work,
Shaina Rodriguez, Doula & Birth Coach 🌟
