“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 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.”

“I don’t have enough words to describe Shannon and what she meant for us. When I was looking for a Doula to help me with my VBAC I didn’t know what to expect… Shannon is beyond any high expectations and I was truly blessed and lucky she was there for us. She has an amazing personality, she is super professional, very knowledgeable, organized and most importantly she makes you feel secure. Both my husband and I felt that we were in great hands, we didn’t know how we would have done without her.  She was there for me 100%, guiding me and truly caring. I wish everyone could have someone like her by their side at birth.”

-

“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 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!”

“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.”

-

“In addition to being extremely easy to reach with questions before, she FAR surpassed my expectations of a doula on delivery day. She helped me labor at home for several hours minimizing the pain physically, encouraging different positions to move things along, providing a sense of calm and understanding that I found extremely helpful and supportive. ”

-

“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!”
