Testimonial for Shannon Bacus CD(DONA), APPAC
I've read the other wonderful testimonials here and wholeheartedly agree with them! I echo those words--patient, caring, calm--they all come to mind when I think of Shannon. I'm not sure I read the following word anywhere, but I'd have to add it to the growing list: professional. Shannon had only been practicing for two years when I hired her, but she was anything but a novice. She was extremely professional in every way, and I always felt like I was "in good hands." Shannon knows what she's doing.
My first birth (without a doula) was truly a traumatic experience. My second birth (with Shannon, my doula) was also quite difficult, but proved to be a very healing time for me. Shannon helped me work through my fears and doubts from the past, she asked questions I never would've thought to ask, she helped us walk through our options when challenges arose. Shannon will let YOU MAKE THE CHOICES. She will give you information, but not pressure you to use it one way or another--I deeply appreciated her respect for my decisions. I will spare you the details of my births, and skip to the results. Both of my births were hard on me. After my first birth, I felt completely broken. But after my second birth, I felt euphoric. Shannon is a big part of the joy I felt and the joy I continue to feel each day.
In summation, YOU SHOULD HIRE HER! :)
