Testimonial for Shelia Kandeler, CD(DONA)
We used Shelia as our Doula for the birth of our first born, and she was our first call when we found out we were pregnant a second time. Our first delivery was an unmedicated induction which turned into an extremely challenging situation, and Shelia was the calming, loving strength we needed as we navigated some very difficult moments. Our second delivery was a completely different experience, and Shelia was just as significant for us as we had to decide how to set ourselves up for success and square our intentions and expectations with reality. The reason to hire Shelia is her expertise and her nurturing unjudgemental guidance, but as a bonus, she's a fabulous photographer and has gifted us amazing pictures of the first moments of both of our children's lives. If I could gift Shelia to every expectant parent, I would. She's exactly who you want guiding you as you prepare, by your side as you deliver, and as a sounding board post-partum. I can't recommend her highly enough!
