Testimonial for Shannon Mathews CD(DONA), CVD (TVL)
My husband and I loved working with Shannon! She played a huge role in making sure I had a positive birth experience as a first time mom and I couldn’t have done it without her knowledge and support. During my 40 hour labor, Shannon helped me cope by applying counter pressure during my surges, suggesting position changes, providing encouragement, and helping me make game time decisions. Shannon struck a perfect balance between providing evidence-based advice while also advocating for my needs and wants.
Throughout my pregnancy and postpartum, Shannon was always extremely quick to respond to my questions and I loved knowing she was only a text or call away.
I found our postpartum visit especially valuable! Shannon came to our home during the chaos of the first week and gave us advice tailored to the specific issues we were facing with our little one (sleep deprivation and feeding). That night, after implementing her suggestions, my husband and I had the best night of sleep we’ve had since our son was born!
We cannot say enough good things about our experience. Everyone needs a Shannon at their birth!
