Birth Maven
An individualized and holistic care approach towards birth advocacy, empowering birthing individuals with labor coping skills as well as postpartum care and lactation support.
Welcome
My passion for working with pregnant women comes from witnessing the greatest power I have ever seen: the transcendence into motherhood. It is not only the birth of a child—but also the birth of a mother. This profound shift in identity brings an opportunity for transformation—to redefine oneself as powerful, embodied, and deeply connected to both intuition and inner wisdom.
There is a sageness held deep in our bones. We once sat in circles, learning from our sisters, mothers, and grandmothers. In a world where these circles have faded, the passing down of this ancestral knowledge—and the inherent support that comes with it—has become less accessible.
I offer a space to sit with my clients, to share my knowledge, and to pass on the teachings of the incredible women I have had the privilege to learn from.
My approach encompasses breath work, mindfulness, guided imagery, and hypnobirthing. I also have extensive clinical experience in breastfeeding and lactation support.

Who is Birth Maven?
Hi, I’m Danielle Shipley. I am a Registered Nurse certified in obstetrics, labor & delivery with a Masters in Nursing from USF. I also have over 15 years of clinical experience working in the birth field and I absolutely love what I do.
My passion for empowering women in their bodies stems from my earlier work as a yoga teacher, which grew into my work as a doula, and over the last 11 years I have been at the bedside as a labor & delivery RN supporting families in the hospital setting. It is a true honor to work with families from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives.
My approach is to protect the sacred journey of birth as much as possible. Birth is a powerful opportunity to find your voice and connect with the deep wisdom of your body, allowing for a safe and empowering experience that is free from trauma.
I have personally had two incredibly empowering births and it is my intention to make this experience attainable for others.
I look forward to connecting with you.
