Shoshana lives in London, UK, and has been working as a doula for 13 years, she likes to ‘debunk’ the myth that birth is romantic, easy, and painless. She says it is joyful, super empowering, and the only true ‘pain with gain’ that there is.
In her client work, Shoshana likes to educate her clients antenatally for every eventuality, as she feels that knowledge is the key to having a positive birth. Shoshana has a little black book with lots of contacts in the birth world and can signpost her clients’ pre and post-birth to other experts in the field including yoga teachers, reflexologists, pregnancy acupuncturists, lactation and tongue-tie specialists and postpartum doulas.
As an art Curator by training, Shoshana has also created a superb niche post-natal course that allows women a safe space to share their birth stories through contemporary art images. Using art from well-known international artists, the course is designed to give women a voice to discuss their shared stories, experiences, and sometimes traumas as a way of processing their birth experience. Shoshana recently presented this course at the annual Pregnant Then Screwed online conference in the UK, and it was a huge success.
