Testimonial for Shannon-Tara Ames
From the very beginning when my husband and I first met Shannon-Tara near the end of my first trimester, we immediately had a good vibe about her and could easily tell that she was very experienced, professional, knowledgeable and had a wonderful passion for her work as a doula.
As my pregnancy progressed, Shannon-Tara met with us regularily and was a wonderful source of information and support throughout. Shannon-Tara took the time to get to know the fine details and philosophy of our birthing wishes. She went well above and beyond our expectations, taking the initiative to join us while we took a series of hypnobirthing classes which further demonstrated her total dedication and commitment to ensuring that our birthing wishes were respected and upheld and that we were all on the same page going into the birth of our baby girl.
Once in labour, Shannon-Tara was present as a steady and calm voice of reassurance, love, and compassion. She assisted both my husband and I tirelessly by helping me to feel comfortable, nourished and hydrated as well as providing moral support to my husband and I while we ventured through our labour as a solid team. Post-partum, she visited us in the hospital and at home and provided support and assistance with breast-feeding as well as some invaluable tips to assist us in our transition to parenthood.
We would recommend Shannon-Tara with the highest of regard to anyone who is looking for that special person to support them during such an important transition in their lives. It was truly an honour for us to work with her and we would hire her again in a heartbeat!
Love from Elsa, Chad and Naomi
