I’m a lady with a cackle that can be heard in any room.  If it comes to Pregnancy or Childbirth I have a real answer, from a mom who knows a little something about it.  I have three children, The Boy, age 7; The Girl, age 5, and The Baby, just one year old! My credentials? Certified Lactation Counselor, Childbirth Educator, Birth and Postpartum Doula, Car Seat Technician, Mama.

bellaniShannon is Shannon Giorgio. I have two full-time jobs. I am 100% committed to both. I worry daily that I don’t give enough to each.  I sometimes feel others judge me for not choosing between the two.  My stats…Mom to 2 boys, Ethan who is 6 and Owen is 4. I am a certified Lactation Counselor, Childbirth Educator, and Car Seat Technician.

My name is Lisa Hanson, but around here I am referred to as “Miss Lisa”. My biggest dream when I was six was to live in an orange house and have 15 kids. Lisa Hanson has worked with children her whole life. With a masters degree in Creative Arts and Early Education she has taught children ranging from infants to fifth grade in all curriculum areas. After having her own children (Noah age 6 and Jake age 4) she combined her passion for yoga/fitness with working with young families. In her spare time, Lisa is an author of The Siblings’ Busy Book and conducts workshops about building family bonds. She is currently the Director of Child Development Programs at Bellani Maternity and is working towards a certification in Brain Gym (a program that focuses on development of reflexes and movement).
