Shilpa

Dutta

Shilpa is an Ayurvedic full spectrum doula of bengali/south asian descent. She believes that the moment you become pregnant, you’re in a sacred, liminal space. Regardless of where that pregnancy may lead you, these transitions bring our shadows to the forefront. She welcomes this intensity and takes care to acknowledge, embrace, and nurture what might be under the hood, allowing it to surface and come to light — with curiosity, non-judgment, and trauma awareness, Shilpa always chooses to pay radical attention. She loves being in community with other birthworkers committed to transformative justice, collective liberation and decolonization of reproductive health practices. Having a relationship to land is an ongoing practice she is cultivating as she delves deeper into ancestral work.

TLDR: Shilpa is a phenomenal doula. We highly recommend her. We had the pleasure of working with Shilpa for two months after the birth of our little one, when she was providing night doula support. She worked multiple nights a week with us.. We highly recommend her! She was reliable, knowledgeable, so good with our baby, and even became like part of the family. ~E + K
