I am Raelene Whitehead! I trained and certified as a birth doula in November 2021, and attended my first birth later that month. I opened Shiloh Birth LLC a few months later. I added placenta encapsulation and childbirth education to my services in 2023! I became a birth doula and placenta encapsulationist because I believe women deserve support.

I want moms to feel safe and respected with the decisions they make when it comes to their body and baby. When I am not at a birth or encapsulating a placenta, I am a stay-at-home wife and mama.

Hello there! I’m Shala, a holistic birth and postpartum doula for nearly a decade. I am deeply passionate about women’s health and supporting their reconnection to their own innate wisdom through a newfound relationship with food, self-care and the natural world . For 2 years, I studied directly under a midwife as a student and gained extensive knowledge of the clinical side of pregnancy and postpartum that I bring to my practice gently as a resource for parents who are deeply curious about all things birth.

I am a caregiver and artist living in Albuquerque. I finished a Traditional Birthwork (Doula) Training in October 2024 and I am looking to work as a night Nanny close to home. I have plenty of experience with infant and children up to 5 years old so I am also open to working as a sibling nanny during births. Other than caregiving I live music, concerts, dogs, travel and art. I graduated with my bachelors degree from the University of New Mexico in 2017 where I was a student athlete for all four years and I still enjoy being active.

I am Whitney and pregnancy and motherhood have changed me forever in a million beautiful ways. After years of knowing I wanted to be a healer, I earned a bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of New Mexico with the original intention of going to medical school afterwards. I became disenchanted with the medical field and then became a yoga teacher and yoga studio owner as I was searching for how to fulfill my calling in integrity. Birth work finally found me after I became a mother myself and this has become my focus! Within the same year of giving birth, I became a certified doula. I am a lifelong learner who is continuing independent midwifery studies and who is in the middle of Birthkeeping school with Whapio of La Matrona. I have much to offer in my service including with yoga, meditation, essential oils, herbal remedies, homeopathy, and deep anatomical understanding. The biggest thing I want to help women with is learning how to dream big when it comes to their labors and then giving women the tools to make that dream become a bit more possible as a birth coach, educator, and doula/Birthkeeper. I recently had a very blissful labor journey with my second baby and I can't wait to help other women find similarly blissful/orgasmic/ecstatic births of their own!
