Testimonial for Shannon Bacus CD(DONA), APPAC
We recently used Shannon as our doula for the home birth of our son, and she exceeded our expectations! She was readily available via phone calls, texting, email, and Facebook before, during, and after our son's birth. When she arrived at our house, she quickly went to work massaging my back, suggesting different laboring positions and relaxation techniques, and offering praise and encouragement. She was a calm and peaceful presence, always using a soft voice and helping me to stay focused on the task at hand. Shannon definitely has the gift of encouragement! She was always right by my side telling me how great I was doing and that I was one contraction closer to meeting my baby. I was so grateful for her affirming words, especially as labor got more intense!
My husband and I had requested that Shannon take pictures during my labor and particularly as our son was being born, and the pictures she took were fabulous! Although she is not a professional photographer, she did a wonderful job capturing beautiful images of labor and birth. We are so grateful to have those moments captured!
We would highly recommend Shannon as a doula and definitely plan to book her again should we be blessed with another baby in the future!
