After a rigorous apprenticeship, Shani became a Licensed Midwife in early 2021. Shani has spent the last 3 years serving in high volume, diverse birth center settings, but heart has continued to be madly in love with homebirth since the first birth she attended. In the midst of her career as a midwife, she has experienced her own unplanned cesarean and a victorious and healing homebirth after cesarean, which only continued to fan the flame of empathy and autonomy in the birth space. She holds certifications in BLS, CPR and NNR. Shani is married to her best friend and a mama to two of the sweetest little boys.
