Shawn was and continues to be an amazing addition to our family!  I was very recluctant to hiring a doula becuase I just didnt understand it.  Shawn talked and walked us through everything, she was understanding and respected my wishes.  After I had my twins, she came and helped me with laundry, and keeping my house decent.  She even made me lunch and dinner and it was such a change to my usual hot dogs and fries that I only had time for my first pregnancy.  My only regret is that I didnt find her sooner.
