Peace, my name is Shantique Smith-Hayes and I am a Certified Holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula in Milwaukee, WI. I am the Wife to an amazing Husband, and Mother of two lovely Daughters- ages 8 and almost 3. In my free time I love to lay out on my couch, in front of my big patio windows, cup of tea in hand, sun beaming, watching Nature do its thing. I enjoy traveling, reading books that make me feel good, painting, letting my inner child shine, and indulging in flavorful foods– Soul Food, Jamaican Food, Carribean Food, Mexican Food, you name it! I am authentically and purposefully myself. I take pride in having such a bright, Sunflower Aura. My philosophy is that every mother and baby, regardless of circumstances at time of conception, should have access to quality, personal, supportive care. As a Holistic Doula, my approach to pregnancy and childbirth recognizes that a woman's body is naturally designed to conceive, nourish, and give birth to their baby(ies). Our wombs are our centers and do far more than produce babies: they give birth to the power in us. I am a firm believer that the more you know, the less you fear. In my practice, I review the different phases of labor, positioning of baby and pain management techniques to help cope with the discomforts of contractions. I educate women of their birthing rights and help create an individualized birth plan, ensuring that they feel confident advocating for themselves and their healthy birthing experience. I offer 1:1 individualized prenatal wellness education on topics such as: prenatal care, pregnancy related physical and emotional changes, childbirth, breastfeeding, postpartum changes, parenting roles, and newborn care and safety. My doula work involves gentle practices such as breathwork and gentle stretching, utilizing herbal medicine, taking meditative walks in nature, intuitive painting, aromacaress therapy with infused oils and essential oils, and gentle womb massages. Each of these practices has a unique way of showing us who we really are- unmasked, vulnerable, courageous and bold. These practices equip women with the tools necessary for a safe, successful and memorable pregnancy and birthing experience; all of which in turn reduces the risk of undesirable pregnancies and birth outcomes in black maternal health.

I believe in the inherent strength of women and the beauty of undisturbed, intervention-free birth whenever possible. I also recognize that every birth is unique, and my goal is to provide the education, advocacy, and emotional support that allow families to make confident, informed decisions. My approach blends knowledge and compassion, ensuring that each birthing person feels prepared and respected, no matter their birth plan. My background in public health gives me a deep understanding of how birth outcomes are shaped by access to information and individualized care. I strive to create a supportive, inclusive space where every family feels safe and empowered to navigate their journey with clarity. I understand the challenges of postpartum recovery, and I am committed to offering guidance beyond birth, including lactation support and community resources to ease

Hi there! I’m Natalie - a Registered Nurse, Certified Lactation Counselor, and a mom to three kiddos. I worked in labor and delivery/postpartum for 4 years and now work in Pediatrics in a clinic setting. My passion is helping mothers find their own, unique path into motherhood, while keeping the roots of who they are. I enjoy helping mothers feel confident with breastfeeding, however that may look for them: latching baby at breast, exclusively pumping, combo feeding, supplementing formula, etc - or even helping them realize they are an amazing mother even when they can’t, or don’t want to breastfeed any longer. It takes a village, they say. I’d love to be a part of yours.

My journey to becoming a postpartum doula and lactation counselor began after experiencing the lack of support from medical staff when my first son was born.

My goal is to help women heal from their birth experience, feel confident in their new role, and not feel alone during this crucial time. Through my services, I strive to create a nurturing environment where mothers can thrive, bond with their babies, and access the guidance they need for a successful breastfeeding journey.
