Shayla Goldenberg, Past President & Founding Member
shayla@mamaology.com
Shayla Goldenberg, born and raised in Montana, now calls the mid Ohio valley home with her husband and two beautiful girls. After a traumatizing cesarean delivery, Shayla chose to have a homebirth to have more “control” over her birth and her body and avoid a repeat c-section. For Shayla, her homebirth was a wonderfully empowering and healing experience. About her involvement in Mamaology: “I believe that having a baby is more than a medical event,” said Shayla. “Giving birth is a defining moment in a woman’s life. It can be empowering and uplifting; I want women to know this.” Shayla has experience with both the Bradley Method and Hypnobabies childbirth preparation classes.
