The RN Doula Experience

Shanita Joy Murray, BSN RN CD CPD CBC CBE CPNE
As a registered nurse and doula, I take a holistic approach in providing competent and compassionate care to mothers and families along the childbirth continuum. My goal is to empower women to trust their bodies and to provide evidence-based data to facilitate informed decision making. I’m looking forward to connecting with you and assisting you with achieving your unique birthing goals.
“At 36 weeks' gestation, I had a blood pressure scare and had to go to the hospital where I learned that my preferred doctor would not be delivering my baby like we'd discussed. When I was admitted for my scheduled induction, Shanita constantly checked in on the baby's progression and directed staff towards more natural methods of induction before considering Pitocin. She was an anchor during delivery and stayed thereafter to encourage the first feeding and lactation."
S.T.
choosing joy with an experienced doula
There are many benefits to having a doula who is also a registered nurse! From the initial consultation, I utilize our time together to answer your questions and to be thorough in asking pertinent questions regarding your current state of overall being. This is how baseline information is established which is crucial for comparison later in pregnancy and postpartum. I review my clients' intake forms and get back to them shortly after with natural ways to manage pregnancy discomfort, how previous diagnoses can affect pregnancy, how to prepare their bodies for labor and much more.
