From my heart to yours..

For more than ten years, I’ve worked in roles centered on people, leadership, and care. Becoming a mother expanded that work in a profound way. After navigating postpartum anxiety and the mental load of early motherhood, I felt called to support other mothers in their transition.

Hi, I’m Seana. That's pronounced just like Shawna! (Sean-A)

I’m a postpartum doula, perinatal mental health certified (PMH-C), and a mom of three and I created Happy Mother because I saw firsthand how unsupported this stage of life can feel.

Once I found doula work, specifically postpartum, I knew this was where I was meant to be.

My work is rooted in the understanding that postpartum isn’t just about recovery, it’s a full identity shift.

Matrescence changes everything:
your body, your mind, your relationships, your capacity.

And yet, most mothers are expected to “adjust” without real support.

That’s where I come in.

I offer support that is:

• emotionally attuned 
• practical and hands-on 
• grounded in perinatal mental health 
• responsive to your real, day-to-day needs 

No pressure to be anything other than where you are.

I didn’t come into this work by accident.

My ability to read a room, sense shifts in energy, and understand what someone might need without them fully saying it.. was shaped long before motherhood.

Now, it’s something I use with intention.

Combined with my training and experience, it allows me to support mothers in a way that feels deeply seen, safe, and real.

I believe emotional support should also be informed support.

My work is backed by:

• Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C) 
• Certified Lactation Support Educator (CLSE) 
• DONA Certified Postpartum Doula
• ProDoula Certified ELITE Postpartum & Infant Care Doula
• ProDoula Certified Labor Doula
• Certified Perinatal Behavioral Health Coach (PBHC) 
• Ongoing training in matrescence + postpartum transition 

In addition to my professional training, I bring:

• my experience as a mother of three 
• years of leadership and people-focused work 

This is not rigid, clinical, or one-size-fits-all support.

This is:

• someone helping you make sense of what you’re feeling 
• someone stepping in when things feel heavy 
• someone who can both sit with you emotionally and help you practically 

You don’t have to perform, explain everything perfectly, or “have it together.”

You just have to show up as you are.
