My husband and I found it very helpful to have Shannon as our doula for the birth of our first child. What stood out to me the most was how she was able to "read" me so accurately when I wasn't even saying any words (at the point when contractions hurt so much I could no longer speak). She had her full attention on the birthing process every second of the way and responded perfectly to all of my nonverbal cues because of her knowledge and experience. I appreciated Shannon coming to support me as soon as my labor started all the way until my baby was born (and stayed for some time post-birth too). My husband received very helpful guidance from her on how to execute his role throughout the whole process. Even though she could have left right after the baby was born, she stayed with us while we transitioned into the mother & baby room (she stayed with us for 24+ hours); she is someone who does not cut corners! Shannon is patient, supportive, and friendly.
