My name is Emma and I am a Registered Nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and mom of two serving Ventura County and located in the Ojai Valley, CA. I am here to walk by your side and support you as you plan for and navigate your infant feeding journey and to help you find what works best for you and your baby. I completed my lactation education through a rigorous training through UC San Diego through the Lactation Pathway 2 educational certificate program. I spent hundreds of hours of clinical training under the guidance of longtime IBCLC’s/lactation consultants at Kaiser Santa Rosa in their pediatric clinic providing hands on care to families with newborns and infants. I can help you navigate and customize plans based on your individual needs and infant feeding goals with issues such as: improving baby’s latch, breastfeeding positions, questions/concerns on infant weight gain or milk transfer, supply issues, nipple or breast pain, clogged ducts or mastitis, combination feeding and supplementation, pumping, back to work plans, introducing solids, night weaning, pregnancy and breastfeeding, tandem feeds, food allergies and breastfeeding, medication use in breastfeeding, or weaning. I have personal experience navigating infant food allergies while breastfeeding as well as navigating caring for a medically complex child. I approach caring for my clients in a respectful, nonjudgmental, holistic, and comprehensive manner. I welcome all families and parenting adults to my practice!

As a first-time mom, meeting with Emma was such a wonderful experience. She is incredibly kind, gentle, and understanding. She really takes the time to figure out what both you and your baby need. I felt so supported and comfortable the entire time. She’s very hands-on, responsive, and truly cares. I’m so grateful for her help.

I cannot recommend Michelle highly enough! She was an absolute rock star during the birth of my baby, who arrived 6 weeks early. Through all the uncertainty and stress, Michelle was there every step of the way to keep the calm and peace, offering unwavering support and reassurance. She was a true rock for my family, ensuring I was taken care of and advocating for me throughout the process—especially during the scarier moments when doctors weren’t explaining things clearly. Michelle stepped in to make sure we understood everything. Her compassionate presence made a world of difference. On top of that, she captured beautiful, meaningful pictures when we first brought our baby home from the NICU. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for anyone looking for a dedicated, kind, and supportive doula.

Shan Herrington

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.

From the start of my career as a Physician Assistant, I was drawn to pediatrics and the mother-baby dyad. My PA journey kicked off on the pediatric ward at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, NY, where I was completely captivated by caring for children and families. Then, life brought me to Central NJ, where I had the opportunity to work in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, caring for some of the tiniest, most vulnerable patients. I became a board-certified lactation consultant and was thrilled to offer lactation consultations and make a real difference for new parents and babies. Bringing together my neonatal and pediatric medical experience with lactation and breastfeeding medicine has been incredibly rewarding! I’m proud to be board-certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners. But I didn’t stop there—I went on to get a Master's in Healthcare Administration from the University of Maryland, and I’ve continued to push myself to learn and grow in every way possible. I’ve trained in advanced bodywork techniques, including craniosacral therapy (CST) through the Upledger Institute and the Barnes Myofascial Release method. I’ve also attended the Oral Habilitation of the Breastfeeding Dyad course three times! Continuing education is a constant for me because I believe there’s always more to learn when it comes to helping families. I have 2 locations, in Edison and Brick, NJ and have focused on creating a collaborative practice which includes other specialists as well. Whether it’s kayaking, biking, or tending to our organic and medicinal garden, my family and I like finding new ways to stay active and connected with nature.

Babies have always been my passion! Like Tisha said, I always knew my career would be working with babies. I applied to nursing school knowing I was going to work in OB and that's exactly what I did. After having my first child in 2014 I realized the need for more lactation consultants. I struggled a lot with him and had no one to turn to for answers, so I began doing my own research. I was determined to make this work. And that is how my lactation career started! I started my lactation training not even knowing if I would be able to get a job doing what I had become so passionate about. My family and I made some life changes and everything fell right into place. Tisha and I always casually talked about starting a business but never in my wildest dreams did I think it would actually happen. But here we are! I absolutely love my job and could talk about breastfeeding all day long. I strive to do everything I can to help each mom meet their personal breastfeeding goals. I am very passionate about tongue ties and food allergies in breastfeeding since I personally experienced that with my 2 nursing journeys. Breastfeeding does not come naturally for everyone and it definitely isn't as easy as some think. That's why I have made it my life mission to educate every mom and give them all the tools and support needed to be successful!
