Testimonial for Shannon Cassaday
Shannon was an absolute gift throughout my entire pregnancy and birth experience. From the moment we connected during our initial call, she brought such a joyful yet also calming and grounded presence that made both me and my husband feel supported, informed, and truly cared for as first time parents who had a million questions. She came over multiple times to drop off various tools and things to help support the aches/pains that third trimester brought. She listened deeply, advocated for my preferences, and helped me feel confident in every decision, especially as I was recommended to have a spontaneous induction at 39 weeks. She was a phone call away after that appointment ready to debrief and help my process through a whirlwind of emotions and helped me to understand all of my options and feel more confident in my decision making. During labor, her guidance, reassurance, and very hands-on support made all the difference — I genuinely don’t know how I would have navigated my unmedicated birth without her. She has a great working relationship with multiple midwives at Evergreen Hospital as well, and they all respect and appreciate her support just as much as I do. Shannon is compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to her families. Having her come over to visit and meet our daughter for our postnatal visit was so special. It was also important to my husband and me to have a doula on our team that shares in our Christian faith and the Lord answered that prayer through Shannon who prayed for and with us numerous times after confirming that would be alright and helped to keep my faith at the forefront of my pregnancy and labor process. I cannot recommend her enough to any mama hoping to expand their birth team!
