Shea Wordell
Collaborative Director
Hello, I'm Shea!
For the last thirteen years, my focus has been on supporting families through pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. I pay special attention to those with unique family backgrounds, address past traumas, and offer postpartum assistance for parents of multiples.
I strongly believe in tailoring my support to meet families at their specific stage of the journey, guiding and empowering them throughout the birthing and postpartum processes. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is assisting partners in finding their role. It's common for partners to feel overwhelmed and unsure how to best support their loved one during this significant life event. I help them feel confident in their role as a supportive partner, sharing labor comfort techniques, facilitating skin-to-skin contact while mom tends to her needs, and guiding them on how to support each other effectively during the postpartum period. My aim is to ensure they stay connected as a strong unit through the ups and downs of early parenthood.
