What families say
My unmedicated birth as a first time mom was made possible all because of Shanita. From the first meeting, it was obvious that Shanita was knowledgable, professional, competent and filled with good energy.
I am incredibly grateful for Shanita’s support as my doula; choosing her was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy journey. I had a lot of fear and anxiety surrounding birth, but she eased my mind by educating me not only about the birthing process but also about lactation and postpartum care.
After switching doctors and feeling like I needed extra support/advocate for delivery, we went looking for a doula and found Shanita, which was hands down one of the best decisions we had made early on!
Shanita helped my husband and I with the birth of our first son in Feb 2025. I read all of the other great testimonies from DoulaMatch and we are so happy we worked with her! I interviewed three doulas, but Shanita’s energy and her additional RN credentials helped with my decision.
