What families say
My husband and I can't recommend Shannon enough! We hired her for the home birth of our first baby, and felt such support from her throughout the entire process.
I knew from the beginning of my pregnancy, that hiring a knowledgeable doula would help me achieve my goal of a natural, unmedicated birth center birth. I do not have a single regret hiring Shannon to fit that role – she exceeded our expectations in every way.
I have given birth at home twice now, and I have been so fortunate to have Shannon's support both times. During my first labor and birth, Shannon provided such encouragement and helped me to maintain focus when it began to feel too difficult to stay relaxed.
My wife and I hired Shannon as our doula for the birth of our first child, and we can’t say enough about how incredible she was throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Shannon’s professionalism, deep knowledge, and calming presence helped us feel prepared and confident leading up to delivery.
