Testimonial for Sha’Kaela M
I had the pleasure of having Sha’Kaela be my birthing doula when I had my daughter August 3rd of 2022. Although that was the “big day” Sha’Kaela made herself available to me mentally and emotionally well-before that. She sent me so many resources on how to prepare for labor/delivery, how to choose the best delivery method, stretches to loosen muscles/joints, and so much more! The day I began having contractions, she was the first person I reached out to and based off what I told her, she told me I was in labor and to go to the hospital (although I didn’t believe it lol). She was there not even 20mins after I got there and did not leave my side until my baby made it safely earth side. As soon as she got to my room, she immediately started massaging me and holding pressure points to help relieve the pain, as well as advocating to my nurse when I couldn’t even speak. She truly made me feel safe and comfortable. Once I received my epidural, it was around 12am and Sha’Kaela made sure I had ice, water, flipped from side to side, and my epidural was flowing properly. She stayed up with me and listened to my concerns, and even had girl-talk with me to help me get my mind off what was to come. The next morning when it was time to push, Sha’Kaelaheld my leg up, helped me focus on my breathing and encouraged me even when I told her I couldn’t do it. She made sure my baby was being handled with care by the nurses and captured beautiful first-moments photos of my daughter and I. I am SO grateful to have had someone who truly loves not only babies, but mothers. You can feel it all over that this is her passion, this is what she loves. When I have more children, there is no one I trust more than Sha’Kaela to be my doula. Love you girl??
