If you are reading this review, you are likely considering the benefits of hiring a doula for your birth, and specifically the benefits of hiring Shanan. Do it! Do you want a home birth? A hospital birth? There is no limit to the benefits of a doula-assisted birth, and we loved having Shanan for ours. Words cannot express our gratitude for the comfort and support she provided during the labor and delivery of our son last month. The nursing team and Dr. were great, but as their shifts each ended, we were especially grateful for Shanan’s consistent support. Her calming presence and knowledge, her compassion and affirmations, not only provided a joyful, satisfying and supported birth, but I’m convinced helped to lay the foundation for a positive postpartum period as well. I can’t imagine having had as positive a birth experience without Shanan. If you’re on the fence about whether a doula is necessary or not, do yourself a favor and set up an initial phone chat. From our first conversation, her positive energy and genuine passion for this work was so obvious; I knew she had to be a part of our team, and we will forever be grateful that she was.
