My unmedicated birth as a first time mom was made possible all because of Shanita. From the first meeting, it was obvious that Shanita was knowledgable, professional, competent and filled with good energy. Shanita offered support throughout my entire pregnancy. Trusting Shanita's competence was very easy. My partner and I turned to Shanita often for advice and her well put together educational resources. The prenatal visits with Shanita were filled with valuable information. For each one, my partner and I felt more of a sense of relief and preparedness. When I went into labor, Shanita had already prepared my partner with techniques he could use to promote my comfort. Shanita made haste in ensuring her timely arrival to our home to help me labor. Her expertise in massage, positioning, positive affirmations and overall calming presence allowed me to labor at home as long as I was comfortable with. When I called Shanita, I was in so much discomfort that I was ready to fly to the hospital. After her arrival, I was able to stay home an additional 6 hours! Shanita was with us from labor to golden hour - about 20 hours. Her compassion, patience and dedication stayed consistent for the entire duration. My delivery was not easy but I was able to carry out my birth preferences thanks to Shanita. Shanita went above and beyond to ensure I was as comfortable as I could be. Through labor she also made sure my partner was taking care of himself and even spoke to my parents to update them on how my labor was progressing. Shanita continues to check in on me postpartum and continues to be an asset to my partner and I as we navigate parenthood. I have already recommended Shanita to my girlfriends who I know are planning on having a baby. I know I will absolutely need her again for baby #2! Thank you, Shanita! We couldn't have done this without you and we are so glad you were part of our journey.
