Our experience has been incredible. She has been our cheerleader, confidant, mentor, caretaker and friend. She coaxed us through sleep deprivation and uncertain tears. She has been a tether through our first three months of parenthood. Her expertise and advice are so helpful. She brought nourishment literally and figuratively. In this time of isolation she offered a trusted connection to the world outside our home. We parent better because of Shannon. Any newborn parent would be so lucky to have her as their doula.
We worked with her as a pre and post-partum doula. Although our birth experience didn't follow our vision, we had space to heal and manage our emotions around it with Shannon's support. She offers the most heart-felt hugs when that's often all I needed.
We learned to swaddle, worked through colic, trouble-shoot bottle intolerance, manage pumping and attempting breast feeding, and curing a wicked a bout of diaper rash to name just a few early challenges she helped us handle.
she is available by text anytime.
I didn't know I would need her, but I did and I remain infinitely grateful she is part of our family.
