Testimonial for Shannon Duir Sciotino
From Seth -Shannon is an old soul. We cant thank her enough for the support she provided during our pregnancy and birth. We interviewed several doulas each with a strong background, but our gut told us Shannon was the right fit. We made the right choice. She came prepared, asked the right questions, and made sure we were comfortable with the process. She was with us during the most challenging part of the labor, helping us deliver a healthy baby. Her soft voice, warm smile, and confidence was a guiding light during the final hours of labor. For anyone questioning hiring a doula Shannon reinforced our belief it is an investment well worth making.
From Christina -So grateful we had Shannon as our doula and first time parents. She met with us twice at home first to go over our birth preferences and later to discuss coping mechanisms for labor and go through positions. We ended up having a 40 hour induction that resulted in a c section but with Shannon's guidance we felt empowered and supported throughout the process. She came to the hospital Friday night at the start of our induction to go through positions, and set the labor room up as a calm environment, she was supportive throughout the day Saturday, she returned Saturday night even though we were not in active labor to help with positioning and by morning we had finally made progress, she returned Sunday morning and we continued with positioning before we found things were not progressing. Since everything we had been doing with Shannon should have helped the issue we had we decided to proceed with the c section and we're so fortunate to be in a hospital where she could accompany us to the or. She kept me distracted(as discussed in our sessions at home) while Seth was able to go see our baby. If you are looking for someone who is organized and supportive, calm and compassionate you will be lucky to have Shannon.
