Testimonial for Shannon Cronin, CPD(CAPPA), CD(DONA)
I can't imagine having experienced pregnancy, labor, delivery, or postpartum without the incredible support that Shannon provided for our family. During pregnancy, she provided us with evidence-based resources that were tailored to the challenges that we were facing in pregnancy and to the birthing experience that we were planning. She coached us in areas of pregnancy and birth that we were unfamiliar with, and served as a kind and caring sounding board when we just needed to talk through things. She offered an unbiased perspective to support with decision-making, and was always supportive of the decisions that we landed on.
During labor and delivery, she was an absolute godsend. She anticipated our every need, whether physical or emotional or otherwise. Her gentle, unobtrusive support empowered me to make the decisions that were right for me on my own timeline - without feeling pressure from my team of healthcare providers. When I reflect on my labor and delivery, I feel a warm, happy glow that I totally attribute to the care and support that Shannon provided.
Her postpartum support has been consistent with the rest of our experience with her - comforting, empowering, supportive, and just what we need, when we need it. I can't recommend her enough.
