Hiring Shannon is the BEST investment I made for myself, my husband, and my baby! I only wish I had hired her for my first. I was on the fence about needing a doula for my second baby but knew I wanted things to go differently this time around. In our naivety my husband and I thought we had researched/educated ourselves enough for our first but it wasn't realistic to expect my husband to be a library of experience/knowledge while also supporting me and going through a life changing experience of becoming a father as well. We went with Shannon because she is knowledgeable and experienced and has a calm, gentle, but confident presence. She was so great to bounce ideas off of and incredibly supportive and patient with all of our questions. Hiring her for my second- I didn't think I would have so many questions but I absolutely did as each birth is as different as each baby is. She was encouraging when I was concerned about going past my due date, helpful while laboring (that first hip squeeze made her worth every penny), and made me feel confident with nursing. While laboring, she quietly and quickly did things that I didn't even realize I needed until after she did them. Having her with us freed my husband to be more a part of the laboring/birthing process. She is such a gem and we're forever grateful to have had her with us.
