Testimonial for Shannon Bacus CD(DONA), APPAC
My husband and I were referred to Shannon through a friend. We took her Childbirth Education Classes before having our baby. We loved the classes - we're first time parents so they were extremely informational. I loved getting to know Shannon more personally through the class interaction.
I wanted a doula for my pregnancy and birth in order to achieve a "natural" birth. Shannon helped me to make that a reality. She answered all of my questions for nine months :) and after delivery. She was instrumental in helping me to feel empowered in having a medication free labor and delivery. I loved that she helped my husband and I to debrief after the delivery in the hospital and that she captured some amazing photos that I wouldn't have otherwise. Having her as a doula ensured that I was informed about the entire process so that I didn't have to worry about decisions in the moment. She is super caring, has a fun laid-back personality, and tells it like it is. I appreciated her honesty and the fact that she didn't sugar coat her classes or the info about delivery. I feel that it helped prepare me to push through labor. I completely plan to have a doula (hopefully her) the next time too since I see the value in having that extra support.
