Meet Shauna

“We absolutely loved our Labor Doula Shauna. I felt super supported the whole way through my pregnancy. During labor Shauna made sure I was heard and that our experience was as we wanted. Shauna’s personality was perfect for us. She was a very calming presence!”

“This was a great agency to work with to help me find my doula, Shauna! From the get go, they were responsive and accommodating to my needs. If i forgot to respond to an email early on, then they would check in with me without being pushy! I like that I was able to meet with a few different folks! Everyone I spoke to I could have likely used as my doula, and I felt that it was a hard decision to make. I loved the check-in Annamarie had with me postpartum and was able to provide me with some resources based on my needs! I have already recommended them to my friends and would refer others to them as well!”

“My family had the pleasure of having Shauna care for us before and during labor and she was everything a doula should be! Always offering tips/things to do to prep for birth beforehand and the day of birth being a strong, calm presence for us even as birth resulted in an unplanned c section. Chicago family doulas was perfect for our family and so happy we connected with them! Definitely hope to reach out again for future children!”

“My wife Loren and I worked with Shauna Kase as our doula for the birth of our first child. Shauna is a wonderful person and was a big help to us. She is a wealth of knowledge about the pregnancy process as well as what to expect before and after labor begins. Once we were in labor she met us at the hospital and stayed with us until after our son was born, offering helpful advice and suggestions throughout. She was professional, kind, and worked flawlessly with the medical staff. We can’t thank her enough as it gave us peace of mind knowing she was looking out for our wellbeing through the whole process, even as doctors and nurses cycled through on their shifts. Highly recommend if you are looking for doula services.“

“CFD was great from the start. They contacted me promptly, were super informative and understanding, and quickly connected me with amazing Doulas to interview. I worked with Shauna and had an incredible experience. Thanks to Shauna and CFD for everything!“

“My experience with Chicago Family Doulas was fantastic. From the initial phone call with Anna, to setting up payment, and most importantly, getting matched with my doula, Shauna K, was seamless. I really felt like Shauna and I connected and she was there for any question I had during pregnancy. She offered so maybe resources. When it came time for labor, she was there every step of the way via phone, text, and finally at the hospital. Shauna really kept my environment in the L&D room calm and quiet. Even my OB said she really enjoyed the zen vibe of my room! I highly recommend everyone to have a doula for their pregnancy and labor. If I’m lucky enough to have another child, I would 100% love to have Shauna as my doula again.“

“Shauna has such a sweet and peaceful presence Prior to the birth she was very responsive and informative. I felt like I could ask her anything or just vent about the discomforts of pregnancy. I went into labor in the middle of the night so it was so wonderful to have her as a resource to walk me through everything. Once I was at the hospital, she helped me take my time and think through the various decisions during birth. Her support contributed to it being such a positive experience. The final stage of my delivery happened much more quickly than expected so she didn’t make it in time for the actual birth but came as quickly as she could and was able to meet the baby. I can’t recommend her enough and am so grateful to have been able to work with her!”

“We hired Shauna Kase with Chicago Family Doulas as our birth doula and are so happy we did. Shauna responded quickly to questions before the birth and made us feel safe and knowledgeable going into it. Shauna also answered several questions after the birth, making us feel comfortable as we settled into parenthood. Shauna has a very calming presence and was open to whatever plan we wanted for the birth. While we enjoyed our experience with the birth, Shauna made sure to take pictures that we will treasure forever.“

“Working with Shauna was everything I could have hoped for! She was supportive and checked in regularly throughout my pregnancy and postpartum. Her calm and confident presence was so reassuring when planning for and during birth for me and my husband. It made such a difference having her on our team, especially after a difficult previous birth. I would absolutely recommend working with her and Chicago Family when hiring a doula!“

“Shauna K was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and positive throughout our time working with her! As first time parents, she helped us navigate resources and provided invaluable guidance during labor/ delivery. Anna reached out regularly as well to make sure that we were happy with our experience. Overall, we found working with Chicago Family Doulas to be a wonderful experience.“
