We cannot recommend Shannon from Expecting Joy highly enough! From the moment she joined us on this journey, her warmth, expertise, and unwavering support made all the difference. During the birth, Shannon was a calming and motivating presence for everyone in the room—always one step ahead, anticipating needs, and ensuring that the entire experience was as smooth and stress-free as possible.

She has an incredible way of balancing professionalism with deep compassion, making us feel truly cared for every step of the way. Shannon empowered us with her knowledge, helped us stay grounded, and created an environment where we felt safe, confident, and even joyful.

It’s hard to imagine this experience without her, and we’re so grateful to have had her by our side. If you're considering working with a doula, do yourself a favor and choose Shannon—you’ll be in the best hands possible!

Shannon was in the delivery room when I had my daughter 26 years ago. She was a great emotional support from start to finish.  Through the many hours of labor,  she was always positive, caring and attentive to my needs.

Shannon was truly amazing, and everything I needed in a doula! From the first time we talked I felt such a warm connection and could tell she is doing what she loves being a doula. She anticipated my needs and helped me think through decisions of labor. I went into labor at 12:30am on Mother’s Day (sorry Shannon) and she had no problem staying with me all of Mother’s Day instead of being with her family while I had my beautiful baby girl. I would recommend Shannon to anyone! She still makes it a point to stay in touch checking in periodically for me and my daughter which I really appreciate.

Shannon was beyond exceptional as my doula! I had a complicated situation as my baby has a heart defect and from birth til postpartum Shannon has been intentive of mine and my families unique needs! Having her on my birth team was such a gift-- and during labor and delivery I felt safe knowing she was there.

Shannon has known me since I was 8 years old and it was so special to have her help me bring my first baby into the world. She was diligent in checking in with me pre and post birth. She encouraged me to listen to my body and follow my instincts throughout the birthing process and postpartum. I would recommend her to anyone I know looking for a doula. She is an asset you want in your corner!
