Hi There!
It's lovely to have you here. My name is Shannon (she/her), and I'm thrilled that you've taken the time to stop by. I'm passionate about helping people, particularly in the areas of feminism and reproductive health. That's why I became a doula. I believe that everyone should have a supportive, warm, and non-judgmental experience during the birth of their baby, whether that's at home or in a hospital. As a Birth and Postpartum doula, I work alongside you and your partner to provide emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, labour, and after the birth of your baby. I truly care about your well-being and I'm here to help you make informed decisions about your pregnancy and labour. I also offer assistance with newborn baby care, caring for the birthing person, breastfeeding/chestfeeding and lactation, and household chores. I want to support you and your family in having a positive and empowering birth experience.
When I first discovered what a doula was, I was amazed by the beautiful and empowering position it held, and I knew that I needed to learn more. I delved deep into books and did extensive research before jumping into the world of pregnancy, birth, and babies in 2020. As my training continued, I developed a deep love for my work. I cherish the opportunity to connect with families, build trust, and support them during one of the most profound experiences of their lives. Initially, I focused on being a birth doula, but I soon realized that I enjoyed being a postpartum doula just as much. Witnessing parents come together and care for their new baby is incredibly heartwarming. I love being there for them, lending a hand around the home, listening to their concerns, and snuggling babies.
I would love nothing more than to get to know you better and chat about what you are looking for in a doula. I am here to provide you with the most compassionate, supportive, and non-judgmental care possible. I understand that every birth and postpartum journey is unique and can be overwhelming at times, which is why I am dedicated to giving you personalized support to empower you every step of the way. As you embark on your postpartum journey, I am here to offer my expertise and assistance. From helpful tips and advice to providing care and support, I am committed to being there for you and your baby when you need it most. Together, let's navigate this journey and make it as smooth as possible.
