I am a mother of two, and after having my two I never knew the many different ways my birth could've been easier or more comfortable. Now as a Birth Doula, I am excited to give mothers and their partners that comfort, before and through child birth and after. It is a true blessing to help women and their families.

Latched provides breastfeeding friendly physical therapy for babies and mamas. Many of us never put much thought into how we would feed our babies. However, for many babies and mamas (like my little one and me), breastfeeding can come with lots of new challenges. Some of these challenges may arise from: - Infant being overwhelmed with new environment (state regulation) - Movement restrictions during pregnancy - Difficult birth - Tethered oral tissues (such as lip and tongue ties) - Decreased range of motion (such as torticollis) - Strength imbalances - Postural changes - Increased tension or stiffness - Reflexive responses The good news, therapy can help address these concerns!

I have been an internationally board certified lactation consultant since 2020. I strive to help families succeed to reach their breastfeeding goals. I take a holistic approach and seek alternative therapies to helping parents and babies thrive in the newly postpartum period.

I am Shanna Hinrichs, and my story of community birth began over 20 years ago when I began supporting families as a doula, lactation consultant, and now midwife. I have known I was called to help women bring their babies earthside since I was a young child. I didn't know what that would look like, but I was fortunate to witness the intimate and precious home birth of a dear friend. That experience revealed my path as a birth worker and ignited my desire to serve women and their families in their most powerful and vulnerable moments. I am fulfilled by serving my incredible clients as their families grow. Attending births builds my trust over and over in women's bodies and their ability to transform and heal. I respect the responsibility of being a midwife and recognize the privilege of facilitating an experience that best supports my client's wishes. I believe that educated, informed choice is the best way for families to become empowered and make the best decisions for their pregnancy. That belief has afforded me the privilege to serve on the board of different cesarean awareness groups to help provide evidence-based information so families can make the appropriate choice for themselves and their current pregnancy. I am also a strong advocate for Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC) when it is the most appropriate choice. I was born and raised in Garland but have had the privilege to live in a few different states. I am married and have given birth to 9 children, each with their own distinct story. Having experienced 9 very different births and breastfeeding journeys, I have lots of hands-on personal experience to offer to you.​ When not engrossed in the birth world, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our 4 school-age kids still at home, and our dog and cats, as well as playing in the great outdoors, eating delicious food, and making our home in Rowlett as peaceful as a home with 4 kids (still living at home), a dog, and 2 cats can be. I would love the opportunity to chat with you to see if I would be the best midwife for you and your family. If we decide that I am not the best fit, I am more than happy to help you find the care provider you deserve as you travel this beautiful journey. ​​

Hello, my name is Raven! As an entrepreneur, I am familiar with the importance of being passionate about one's work. In my case, my passion for birth work stems from personal experience as a wife and mother of two beautiful souls. The miraculous and empowering births I experienced sparked within me a desire to guide and support others on their own journeys through pregnancy and childbirth. However, my path to becoming a birth doula was not without obstacles. Before conceiving my oldest, I faced some difficult pregnancy losses. To help heal and cope with these losses, I turned to writing and expressed my feelings through a love letter or poem dedicated to my future rainbow baby. This experience not only brought me solace, but also deepened my understanding and empathy for other women facing similar struggles. It was this profound sense of empathy and the desire to support and empower women that ultimately inspired me to become a birth doula. With every client I work with, I am reminded of the importance of providing emotional, physical, and informational support during such a transformative time in a woman's life. My personal journey has fueled my passion and dedication to this work, and I am constantly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a meaningful and rewarding profession.
