We began our search looking for less experienced doulas - this was our second birth, and we figured we'd be resourceful and low-touch. In retrospect, we couldn't be happier to have worked with Shawn.
Not only did she guide us through a successful VBAC - it's hard to imagine having delivered without her. She was just phenomenal: as prescriptive as we needed her to be without ever making us feel pressured; always accessible while giving us space when we needed it; relentlessly positive but calming. She was exceptionally knowledgeable but never flaunted it and knew when to defer to providers.
Shawn helped us find a doctor, explained every step of the process, coached us from early labor onward, vigilantly tracked our progress throughout, and made herself as available as we needed afterward. We've encountered few if any caregivers in any capacity who made us feel safer or better cared for than Shawn.
