Dashanna Hanlon
Hello! I’m Dashanna Hanlon and I’m excited that you’re interested in learning more about me and Caring for Mamas!
Why I started Caring for Mamas:
I became certified as a birth and postpartum doula four years ago because I wanted to help people feel empowered from their first moments of pregnancy. My work as a postpartum transition specialist started after stumbling through a couple of postpartum transitions of my own; learning that there should also be some gentle guidance past the first twelve weeks.
After seeing all that families have endured during the pandemic, I started offering childbirth education classes. My goal is to help families feel prepared for birth earlier in their journey because I believe this allows you to make the best decisions for your family. If I can help your family get educated about childbirth, you can sign up for a class!
Caring for Mamas is my way of supporting parents in every phase.
And more:
I moved to Boston in 2011, after getting a Bachelor’s degree in English and Gender Studies from the University of Pittsburgh. I married my favorite Massachusetts native, Tom in 2018. Our sons Lucas, Isaiah, and Zachary light up our world! Our home is loud but full of love.
I love jazz music and I used to sing professionally. If you’d like to get to know more about me, my journey as a mom, and my vision for Caring for Mamas, check out the blog or check out @caringformamas on Instagram!
