Post a testimonial for Shannon Neuman
8/21/2025
Having Shannon by my side during my labor made all the difference. I had a really long labor, 48 hours, and she did not leave my side.
This was my and my husband's first pregnancy and even though we read a lot and did baby&birth classes we really didn't know what to expect during labor. Having Shannon with us made all the difference for it to be a good experience.
Pain came quite quickly and I couldn't focus on anything other than riding the contractions. Shannon was there all the time supporting me with different laboring positions, she had different accessories that helped, food and water, and counting the contractions and their timing. When time came to call the Midwives and go to the hospital she took the lead on all the process.
As I mentioned, my labor was long and while we were at the hospital, Shannon was there by my side all the time helping me by suggesting different positions to move baby and making sure I had everything I needed.
She is the sweetest and most caring person to have by yourside during labor.

Having Shannon was a great support during my pregnancy & delivery. Pre-delivery sessions and discussions were of great help as Shannon came prepared with all the answers and shared materials to help us prepare for our big day ahead as first time parents. Her knowledge , warmth and compassion for her work and towards us were unmatched. We are grateful for her dedication and care.

Shannon was always very welcoming and provided a lot of important information for our family throughout the process. She answered questions and made my pregnancy easier. During the birth, she was essential, with massage techniques that helped me during the moments of greatest energy, strengthening my husband and supporting me whenever necessary. She never left our side on the day of the birth, arrived at the ideal time, kept in touch by message and even accompanied us to the hospital after the birth at home. It was my first birth and it was incredible. I am very grateful for all the support she gave us and I congratulate the institution that trained her. Thank you!
