Testimonial for Shannon Cronin, CPD(CAPPA), CD(DONA)
We feel so lucky to have had Shannon's support post-partum. We worked with Shannon 3 nights a week for 6-8 weeks including the night we came home from the hospital with our second child. Shannon had the rare combination of a calm and positive presence along with the clear expertise needed to care for me and my baby. In daily moments where my newborn needed extra love and support overnight, I could sleep calmly between feeds trusting Shannon was doing eveything possible to give him the support and love he needed (ex. knowing when to bring him down for feeds vs when he needed the comfort of rocking for sleep). In more complex, challenging moments (ex. late-night mastitis onset), Shannon gave me the information and resources I needed to begin solving the problem along with quick connections to experts to meet with the next morning. Her expertise on many occasions allowed me to get the sleep I needed overnight for my own recovery and maintain calmness of mind knowing she was there as an expert resource. Shannon went above and beyond, ensuring the house was set-up for me in the morning so when my morning feed was over I was set-up for the day ahead. She has a high bar for excellence in both adaptive communication and technical care as a doula. We could not appreciate her more.
