“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Shannon made us feel comfortable about all our birth plans. She was an amazing support before, during, and after our son’s birth. She was always available to answer any question we had. When Shannon found out I was in labor she came to the house and helped us labor at home for several hours. She made me feel very comfortable during labor and birth and helped my husband be the best coach he could be. Shannon was great at creating relationships in the hospital with the nurses and doctors and with my family and friends. We are so happy we found Shannon and are more than happy with the services she provided. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.”

“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!”

-

“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.”

-

“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.”

-

“Shannon was amazing! She made our dream birth possible. She was so calm and comforting throughout the entire experience. Her techniques and guidance made it possible for me to follow through with my natural birth. She was also so great with answering any pregnancy questions either I, or my husband, had. I plan on having her around for any future births I have!”
