Testimonial for Shannon Costa
Although I was late in my pregnancy Shannon was more than welcoming to take me in her care. From the first moment she entered our home she was warm, kind and gentle and instilled a high level of trust and confidence. She was so patient and thoughtful with us as we discussed our previous experiences and difficulties with birth. She connected with us instantly and made us feel extremely supported along the way. During my pregnancy if I needed help or had a question Shannon was always available to give advice and provide research-based information. The prenatal meetings and excellent in-home prenatal education made us feel prepared for our first natural birth. She addressed all my fears and really helped me to feel confident and supported guiding me and my partner through labor comfort techniques. She reminded me that womens bodies were designed to do this and reassured me that I can do this.
During labor Shannon was available right away when I needed her. She helped me during my contractions at home as my husband was getting ready to go. She was my advocate and a huge help in the delivery room. She was the best emotional and physical support we could’ve asked for. She was encouraging and helped me focus my energy and seemed to know exactly what I needed and when. She reminded me to seek help and call upon Allah with His beautiful names. Her voice, words, & touch were more comforting than I can express and helped keep the atmosphere calm, nurturing, and peaceful. Her non judgmental and supportive presence/assistance helped us feel more relaxed during the experience. I appreciate the extra time and attention she gave me and my baby after the birth. My husband and I will be forever grateful for her presence. We highly, highly recommend her!
