Testimonial for Shannon Cronin, CPD(CAPPA), CD(DONA)
We are so grateful for Shannon and could not recommend her enough. Shannon came to help us during a very scary time. Our son (born 6 weeks premature) had very bad reflux and at 3 months, he refluxed in the middle of the night and stopped breathing. Needless to say, it was incredibly hard for us to sleep after that. Shannon came in and stayed up with our son twice a week and gave us a chance to sleep! We wish we would have started with her sooner. Shannon communicates very promptly and professionally. She was always early on the nights she was there. She was always receptive to our requests (and was very patient with some finicky technology that we had trying to monitor oxygen levels) but also offered up valuable suggestions and thoughts on how to address the reflux, fussiness, etc. On a personal note, Shannon is just a lovely person too. I really enjoyed getting to know her and her passion for being a doula on the nights she came and we went through our son's nighttime routine together. She's calm and measured but engaged and fun to talk to. Her energy brought a lightness to our house. She was incredibly sweet with our son, rocking him to sleep and picking him up when he fussed. We laughed a lot together at the sometime absurdness of parenthood. Finally, she gave us an incredibly sweet gift at the end of our time together, which just showed how much she observed and took in of the family she works with. We cannot recommend her enough--she saved our sanity and was such a gift to us and our son!
