Testimonial for Shannon Bacus CD(DONA), APPAC
I am SO THANKFUL that my wife and I hired Shannon!!
Before meeting Shannon the first time, I didn't even know what a Doula's role was... Shannon explained her role so well and she was incredibly supportive to me personally as the dad. During our meetings, she helped me figure out how to care for my wife during the birth. I'm grateful for Shannon's encouragement and calming presence throughout our pregnancy and birth.
Our birth plan ended up changing a lot when our girl was STILL breach on week 39. Shannon came to the hospital with us during our scheduled C-section. When our daughter needed to go to the NICU a few minutes after being born (which out daughter recovered her breathing amazingly quickly and is thriving in life now!!!) I was nervous and scared to leave my wife to finish the surgery all by herself without me or our baby... this was so not the birth plan we had imagined... Shannon was there to be with Elizabeth during recovery for a few hours. Shannon thought of creative ways for my wife to connect with our child through Facebook Facetime when my wife was in recovery and our baby in the NICU!! this brought so much joy and encouragement to my wife to see our daughter and talk with me. I'm thankful for Shannon's ideas, comfort, and care. Even in a setting that was very different than we were planning, and isn't Shannon's normal setting of care, Shannon's work and care for our family was stellar!!
I highly recommend hiring Shannon!!
