Where Circle of Joy Birth Services works
Services families mention
“Shannon even made a postpartum visit, offering both emotional support and helpful resources for caring for my newborn and navigating recovery.”
“As I ended up being GBS positive and diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes, Shannon was extremely supportive and knowledgeable about the impact this would likely have on my labor.”
What families say again and again
“I was really hoping to go into labor naturally to avoid an induction and that is ultimately what happened; contractions started and steadily progressed at 38 weeks 6 days.”
“Shannon even made a postpartum visit, offering both emotional support and helpful resources for caring for my newborn and navigating recovery.”
“She was there to offer comfort measures, advocate for my wishes with the medical team, and provide emotional support for both me and my husband.”
What families say
Working with Shannon was an absolute joy throughout my pregnancy and childbirth journey. From our very first meeting, she exuded warmth, compassion, and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Although this was my second pregnancy & child, Shannon offered an incredible amount of support that I really needed.
Shannon’s ability to empathize and provide the necessary medical guidance helped me so much during my delivery. She created a safe space for me to express my emotions and ask all sorts of questions. She provided great medical resources that helped me prepare for my labor and delivery.
We are incredibly lucky to have had Shannon as our birth doula. Her support truly made our birth experience positive and empowering. Despite a long and emotionally draining induction process, Shannon consistently brought calm, steady, and positive energy into the hospital room.
I strongly believe I was able to successfully achieve an unmedicated hospital birth thanks to working with Shannon. I chose to work with Shannon after interviewing several doulas because I felt she understood my objectives and was knowledgeable and compassionate.
