Testimonial for Shannon McKenzie, Ed.D, CD

There are not words to adequately express how valuable Shannon was to ensuring my birth experience was positive. I had a traumatic experience with the birth of my daughter that included interventions I didn’t want and an injury that damaged our ability to nurse. I was adamant that I wanted a natural birth this time. Shannon listened carefully to my wishes and supported them fully. She instinctually knows what approaches to use to help a laboring woman as well as her partner. My husband was much more involved this time around and I believe Shannon gave him the confidence to do that. I could not have envisioned a better birth and will forever be indebted to Shannon for her expertise, support, and calming presence. Every pregnant woman would benefit from a doula and Shannon is the best there is.
