What families say

From the early weeks of pregnancy all the way to postpartum Shannon was an amazing resource and we are so blessed she was our doula! With this being my first pregnancy there were lots of unknowns but Shannon was incredible, not only for me but my husband as well.

★★★★★ — Emily, 2024-04

Hiring Shannon as our doula was one of the best decisions we’ve made! We took her hypnobabies child birth class which I would also recommend. Shannon is professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy and so supportive. Investing in her services is 100% worth it.

★★★★★ — Jaime, 2024-04

We used Shannon as our doula for both of our babies and she was wonderful, so when I found out she is a sleep coach too now I was super excited. We used a Snoo for our second baby, Lili, and we loved it but we were having a hard time transitioning her out of it once she was too old for it at six months.

★★★★★ — Amanda, 2024-03

Working with Shannon was one of the best decisions we made for my pregnancy and birth. From the very beginning, she brought calm, wisdom, and unwavering support. As first time parents, my husband and I had a lot of questions, and Shannon was able to guide us with compassion and genuine care.
