My husband and I couldn't be happier with our experience working with Shannon. Typically, during medical procedures I have extreme anxiety which often causes me to pass out. For this reason, my husband and I decided that having a doula for the birth of our first child would be especially helpful. When we talked with Shannon from home during early labor and once she joined us at the hospital, she offered a variety of suggestions for improving our baby's position and reducing my discomfort. Following her suggestions focused my mind and kept me from becoming anxious. Her continued presence during my long labor allowed my husband to take breaks, confident that I was in good hands. Shannon was constantly positive and supportive. I can't imagine having given birth without Shannon.
