What makes me an expert?

I'm glad you asked.

I'm Shakila

I am a Trained Birth & Postpartum Doula, Certified Lactation Educator(CLE), New Parent & Postpartum Doula Educator, a Parent Coach and an Infant Sleep Specialist.

I have spent over 40,000 hours nurturing babies and caring for young children.For the past 10 years I have been working exclusively with Infants and helping their families learn the necessary skills and tips on how to better care for their children’s wellbeing.

I am a mother of two beautiful daughters of ages 11 and 13 years old. Becoming a mother has radically realigned every aspect of my life and introduced me to “my call”. I believe it takes a village to raise a child and every family deserves emotional, physical and psychological support following the birth of their newborn.Helping families flourish with their newborn is my passion.

To ensure you get the best care, I’ve honed my skills with certifications and training from prestigious national institutes including San Francisco State University.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking, dancing, cooking, reading, writing, coding, swimming, snowboarding, skydiving, and golfing.

Shakila is worth her weight in gold and walked us through every question we had as first time parents. Shakila has our son sleeping through the night in 2 1/2 months and continued to give us support.

She has many years of experience and gave a lot of helpful advice for our newborn, including breastfeeding, sleeping/feeding schedules, sleep gear, etc
– Kai, 12/27/2019

Shakila was there for us and helped with challenging issues at hand including sleep, digestion, breast feeding and solid foods. We learned a lot from Shakila and with her support we night weaned gently and successfully.

Shakila created a sleep plan based on our preferences and helped us implement it through daily support. It felt great to have someone on my corner.

Our son was colicky and had GERD and woke up every hour screaming. Step in Shakila. She is amazing with babies, and worked wonders getting our son to sleep.
