Hello! My name is Shannon. I'm a birth and postpartum doula serving the DFW and surrounding areas. I'd be honored to be considered as your doula. I am deeply passionate about helping every birthing person I work with feel informed and empowered in their decisions. I offer support for all types of births including but not limited to: home births, water births, vbacs, and more. No matter what you choose for your own birth journey, I will be by your side every step of the way. I will help you feel empowered in your choices, informed in every decision you make, medical or non-medical, and nurture your needs to ensure you can focus on your new motherhood journey. Please reach out to me for questions and concerns.

I offer birth doula services, postpartum doula services, and lactation support. Each service inquiry comes with a free 1 hour consultation. Since I do not take insurance, service costs for low-income families are available on a sliding scale. If you're interested in this, please mention this during your consultation. As your birth doula, you will have 24/7 access to call, email, or text me. I also offer complimentary 2 hour postpartum support, and you are able to split that up however you'd like. All my packages are customizable to your liking. As your postpartum doula, I am able to offer light housework, cooking, newborn care, post-birth healing assistance, lactation support if necessary, and so much more. I aim to not only serve the mother and baby, but all members of the household. Postpartum parents should be focused on their new baby, and should be surrounded by helping hands to keep unnecessary stress at a minimum. Individualized lactation support is also offered to those clients who need extra help during their postpartum period and new clients who are only seeking lactation assistance.
We hired Shannon as our doula to help with the birth. She was good about communicating with us beforehand, and had answers for all of our questions. She helped empower me during my labor and pushing, and I appreciated having her there to support, guide, and comfort me through that time. Once I had given birth, she taught me how to nurse my baby. I was glad to have such a supportive woman at my side through it all. She also took a lot of pressure off of my husband by comforting and encouraging me (since he didn’t quite know how to help me at that time), which we very much appreciated. Overall, it was a good experience.

I personally had such an amazing experience with Shannon! She was extremely attentive, friendly and informative. She was respectful of all my wishes and very helpful when I had questions, no matter when I reached out to her. This was my first pregnancy out of three where I had a birth plan I was completely comfortable with and that was all because of Shannon. It was great having someone that really advocated for me and my baby and I would highly recommend her to every pregnant Mama out there!

Shannon was so incredibly helpful. She was very knowledgeable and available for any questions or referrals I needed help with throughout my pregnancy. When medical issues arose it caused me a lot of anxiety she was quick to respond with advice and encouragement. She made sure I was prepared for various situations based on my circumstances thanks to her support I'm able to say I have no regrets about my birth experience I love her!
