Shoshanah Blaiss

Breastfeeding Specialist, IBCLC

I first felt called to serving women throughout their childbearing experience after my daughter was born in 2011.  My first birth experience (2009) was long & lonely, ultimately ending in a cesarean. I felt it was something that happened to me, not something I did. My second birth, a hospital VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), was completely different. It changed me. I walked away from that pregnancy & birth feeling empowered, listened to, and loved because of the care I received from my nurse-midwife.

After our experience with our second birth, my husband and I chose to have a homebirth for our third child in 2012, and completed our family with the birth of our fourth child in 2015 (with Debbie - read about it HERE). 

I graduated from Frontier Nursing University in 2018 with my master’s degree in nurse-midwifery. I am nationally certified and hold licenses as both an RN and a Certified Nurse-Midwife in the State of Georgia.

I am an active member of the American College of Nurse-Midwives, the Midwives Alliance of North America, & the Georgia Midwifery Association. 

I have a special passion for postpartum, perinatal mood & anxiety disorders, and breastfeeding. I am an IBCLC with almost 10 years of experience, specializing in tongue ties & oral motor dysfunction. 

In 2019, I joined the team at DawningLife to serve women through breastfeeding education and support. It has been a joy so far and I look forward to the families I will serve in the future.
