Testimonial for Shannon Serrano, CD(DONA)
Shannon was an integral support person during the birth of my son, Noah. I interviewed several other doulas before meeting Shannon and once we met in person I knew she was the right fit for us. She agreed to meet my husband and I at a local cafe where we learned more about her experience, personal background, and approach to providing doula services. Shannon provided us with essential information and techniques to help with prenatal care and managing labor pain. We loved how she continued to check in on me during the pregnancy. She was readily available for consultation and questions too! When the time came, my water broke but contractions were irregular. Shannon encouraged me to rest and suggested a few things to eat that may help get things moving. I ended up having to be induced and Shannon showed up at the hospital right in time to help as the contractions increased. Her calm and positive spirit was just what we all needed. Shannon was in tune with me and could tell when it was time for Noah to arrive. She adjusted the bed to help with the last bit of descent and before I knew it, it was time to push. Shannon helped me with that stage as well and even stayed around for a while afterwards before quietly slipping out. With the support of my husband, Jesus, and of course Shannon- I was avaible to deliever my son without any pain medication and it was a beatuiful experience. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional, caring, and effective doula!
