Testimonial for Shannon Costa
I truly cannot recommend my doula, Shannon, enough. From pregnancy to labor and postpartum, she was an incredible source of strength, knowledge, and comfort for me.
Throughout my pregnancy, she answered every single one of my questions with thorough, evidence-based information. I never felt dismissed or unsure, she was always readily available whenever I needed reassurance or guidance. That level of support alone meant everything to me. She also made sure my husband was fully educated and understood exactly how to support me emotionally and physically during labor. That preparation made such a difference in our experience.
During labor, she came fully prepared with thoughtful comfort measures from dates and honey sticks to a heating pad and peanut ball, everything that helped ease contractions and keep me grounded. But what truly touched my heart was the spiritual support she provided. She made dua with me and recited the beautiful names of Allah throughout labor, helping me push through every contraction with strength and tawakkul. It brought so much peace into the room.
On top of all that, she is genuinely one of the sweetest souls! warm, uplifting, and calming. There was never a dull or heavy moment with her presence. Alhamdulillah for being blessed with her support during such a life-changing time.
If you’re looking for a doula who combines evidence-based care with beautiful Islamic support and heartfelt compassion, she is truly a gift.
