Drawing inspiration from nature's wisdom and the cycles of life, we guide families to trust in the natural rhythms of birth and to embrace the journey with courage and grace. Together, we cultivate a community of empowerment, where individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed choices that align with their values and desires.
The root of our work as home birth midwives is honor and reverence for natural rhythms as an integral part of your pregnancy and birth. Mahina translates to “moon” in Hawaiian, embodying the symbolism that reflects the essence of our feminine nature.
Meet Shannon
I began my journey into birth work at the age of 22 through a family friend, discovering a passion that has since defined my path. My education and entry into home birth have been guided by the sage wisdom passed down from the midwives I've had the honor to work alongside, as well as the elders and teachers who have supported and shaped my offerings. With a focus on supporting normal physiological pregnancy and birth, I have developed profound joy in nurturing women through this transformative journey, honoring the sacredness of each birth experience. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in both clinical settings and home birth communities across California and Hawaii, always dedicated to serving my community. In 2012, I graduated from the National Midwifery Institute and obtained my midwifery license in California.
