Shannon Mitchell

Shannon Mitchell is a wife, mother, and grandmother who also serves as a midwife in Washington state. She originally fell in love with history and research but felt her life’s purpose shift as she experienced her first birth as a cesarean surgery followed by three VBAC in hospitals and a birth center. She has served in the International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) and several other midwifery and birth-based organizations and feels that autonomy, choice, and education should be primary to all experiences of birth.
