“Both my husband and I are so grateful to have had Shannon as our doula.  This was our first child, and as such we had many ‘fears of the unknown’ and hope/expectations of help.  Shannon was always amazing: always calm, yet straightforward.  From explaining what the midwife was doing, giving updates to those in the waiting room, to pain management (definitely check out her TENS unit!), and physical support during contractions, she was awesome.”

“I ended up having an emergency c-section as my son was in distress.  I was scared as I could hear his heart rate dropping and the nurses were trying all different things to get it back up. Through that Shannon was a calming presence rubbing my forehead and talking me through it. I would never have another birth without Shannon by my side. Regardless of the difficult outcome, I loved my experience with her and would recommend her services to anyone.”

“Shannon was a godsend during the birth of my son which ended up being induced two weeks early due to high blood pressure. From our first meeting to our postpartum follow up Shannon was informative, available, and most of all she made me feel at ease at all times. During labor Shannon was attentive, encouraging, and helped me stick to having the natural birthing experience I was hoping to have.”

“For any husband who hasn’t been talked into the use of a Doula, I highly recommend Shannon.  It made everything easier for my family.”

“If you are considering using a doula for your birth, you absolutely should do it and you should hire Shannon! I didn’t have a doula with my first birth and regardless of the ways I prepared; I found it to be incredibly scary, painful, and confusing. I had support from family but I needed someone who could help me through the pain, help move things along faster, and explain the terminology the doctors and nurses were saying so I could make informed decisions. Shannon was completely supportive of aiding me to have the birth I wanted.”

-

“I was so happy we were able to find Shannon! We found her services to be invaluable. She was amazing in all aspects. She never left my side and was able to help with pushing so my husband could concentrate on being there to support me since he wasn’t comfortable with being in the hospital. I couldn’t have imagined going through everything without her! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

“My husband and I were blessed to have Shannon as our doula for the birth of our first child. She had a bag full of tricks that were super helpful in reducing labor pains. We chose Shannon to be our doula because upon meeting her we could immediately connect with her warm, open energy. She was calm in intense situations and always had useful advice or was there providing comfort. My husband said “he couldn’t have done it without Shannon, she was a great teammate and took good care of my wife and me.” Shannon is a wonderful Doula! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends!”

-

“Shannon is not only highly professional, accommodating, and genuinely kind, but she is knowledgeable and takes sincere interest in her client’s needs and wants. Shannon understood the extra special care I would need as a VBAC patient. Shannon provided non-biased data that helped me reach some difficult decisions and was by my side when we went in for a consultation with the doctor and midwife to discuss a possible repeat cesarean.  I was scared as I felt my dream birthing experience slip away. Shannon was there to comfort me, encourage me, and helped me sort through my options. Shannon is attentive, reliable, and simply a joy to be around.”
