About Shan

Hello, my name is Shandrea Herrington, and I am the mother of two wonderful boys, aged 18 and 19. My personal journey and dedication to providing exceptional care and support to families during the precious period of pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood have led me to develop a passion for assisting families outside regular office hours. As a highly experienced Medical Assistant with over 10 years in pediatrics, obstetrics, and gynecology, I am deeply passionate about helping families navigate the challenges of welcoming a new life. My extensive background in the medical field has equipped me with in-depth knowledge and understanding of the numerous physical and emotional changes expectant mothers experience throughout their pregnancy. My vast experience working with newborns has also enabled me to deeply understand the needs and demands of both mothers and babies during this critical period. With a strong belief in the power of compassionate care and support, I established Baby Bliss by Shan—a company dedicated to providing expert guidance and assistance to individuals and couples as they navigate the beautiful yet challenging journey of parenthood. I understand that every family is unique, with its own set of desires, fears, and expectations. That's why our services are personalized to meet each client's unique needs. I provide breastfeeding support, newborn care, and postpartum doula care services, ensuring parents receive the best guidance possible.

Mrs. Shan is a compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable professional who genuinely cares about the families she supports. She consistently provides guidance based on her years of experience, not only in lactation and infant care, but also from her own experience as a mother. Anytime I have contacted her, she has responded in a timely and professional manner, always making me feel heard, supported, and reassured. I truly appreciate the knowledge, patience, and reassurance she provides, and I would highly recommend Mrs. Shan to any parent looking for someone they can trust and feel comfortable with.
