Testimonial for Shannon Bacus CD(DONA), APPAC
I would tell every expecting mom she needs a doula and if she is able, she needs to have Shannon as her doula. Shannon was so invaluable at the birth of our son and the time leading up to as well as proceeding his arrival. She helped educate us on options available to us and was so supportive of the decisions we made for our family regarding birth. I can't communicate enough what an encouraging support Shannon was. She was gentle and knowledgeable without being pushy or overbearing and didn't just support me as a mom, but supported my husband as well and made sure he was as hands on as possible in our birth. Don't be surprised if you come away wanting to be friends with Shannon, she has an infectious kindness that you just always want to be around and is so comforting whether you're experiencing the fears of prenatal, trenches of childbirth, or the emotions of postpartum.
Shannon also informed me of the benefits of placenta encapsulation and was able to do the process for me and I'm so glad she did! The capsules have proven enormously helpful in my postpartum recovery and I plan on doing it with every birth in the future.
In summary, Shannon is wonderful! She won't just help support you in the birth of your child, but also in the birth of yourself as a mother. I cannot recommend her enough.
