Testimonials

Kind Words from Families I’ve Supported

Welcome to my testimonial page, where you can hear directly from the families I’ve had the privilege of supporting. Whether through antenatal education sessions or as a birth doula, my goal has always been to provide compassionate, personalized care that empowers parents to approach their journey with confidence and calm.

Each testimonial reflects a unique story—some focused on preparing for birth, others on finding reassurance and strength in the birthing room. No matter the role I’ve played, it’s been an honor to stand alongside these families during such a transformative time.

I hope their experiences give you a glimpse into the care and support I can provide for your own journey.

“My other half benefited from your visit massively. We both did but my partner more so. Just before you came, he wasn’t convinced that the session was going to be useful and when you left, we talked and he was amazed.

You’ve given a lot for us both to think about.”

“Shannon was a great listener and came with great recommendations…She always knew what to say…She was everything we needed.”

- About my birth doula package

“We can't imagine our birth journey without Shannon. We were a little late in deciding to hire a doula, but despite this, Shannon offered calm, unwavering support as we quickly prepared for a home birth — something we were passionate about.

When we were told our baby was breech at 38 weeks, it was daunting, especially as we were being pushed toward a C-section we didn’t want. Shannon was our sounding board, and our steady voice of reason. She helped us understand our rights, ask the right questions, and stand our ground with confidence. Because of this, we had the confidence to be patient and let our baby turn on her own, albeit with a bit of help from Shannon's trusty rebozo!

Thanks to her guidance, emotional support, and knowledge, we were able to have the birth experience we hoped for — safe, informed, and in the comfort of our own home.

The postnatal period brought its own challenges, especially with a tricky and sometimes overwhelming feeding journey. Shannon continued to show up with practical advice, empathy, and encouragement that made all the difference. She is also a fantastic baker, the cookies she made for us lasted a matter of days and fuelled a few of those early feeding sessions!

Her support was transformative — not just for the birth itself, but for how we stepped into parenthood. We are endlessly grateful and would recommend her to anyone looking for a truly empowering experience.”
