Shoshanah Blaiss
Breastfeeding Specialist, IBCLC
Shoshanah first felt called to birth and postpartum work after her daughter was born in 2011. This birth experience was long & lonely, ultimately ending in a cesarean. Her second birth, a hospital VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), was completely different. It changed her. She walked away from that pregnancy, birth, and postpartum feeling empowered, listened to, and loved because of the care she received from her nurse-midwife. It was then that she felt the passion for birth and postpartum work rise within her!
