Hi, I’m Shannon (she/her)

Baltimore birth doula

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are challenging and transformative seasons of life, often layered with both joy and vulnerability. With the right support, you can move through your journey feeling grounded, informed, and connected.

LET'S CONNECT

There’s no “right” way to give birth - only the path that feels true to you.

Every birth is unique, shaped by individual values, identities, and needs. I am committed to providing inclusive, compassionate care for all people - honoring your story, your choices, and the community that surrounds you.

My role is to walk alongside you, offering evidence-based information, resources, and unwavering support.

If you have a partner, I’ll help them feel prepared and involved so you can step into birth and parenthood as a team. Together, we’ll create a space of trust, support, and deep connection.

“Shannon provided the best support for my entire family and me. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and attentive. She supported my family and I physically and emotionally throughout the process. She labored with me at home, at the birthing center, and at the hospital. She used different techniques to help me stay mentally calm and supported me physically to help reduce the pain of the contractions. Without Shannon things would have been extremely hard for me throughout the transitions of labor.”

"Shannon’s positive and supportive energy was extremely helpful before and during labor. Her ability to shift my and the energy in the room enabled me to center myself and bring focus and resolve to my labor. And make the experience fun along the way! She also did so well engaging with my partner as well as me. She created a team among us which made me feel supported and safe."

My partner and I desired a physiological unmedicated birth in a hospital setting. We were fully supported from prior to birth through birth and postpartum follow up. We were able to follow our preferences and despite a challenging birth at the end we were fully supported by Shannon throughout. She helped us to navigate through labor, birth and postpartum follow up ensuring our voices were respected and heard throughout. She knew us at our core and was able to support based on that with her years of experience and immense knowledge.

Shannon was everything we wanted and needed in a doula. We wouldn't have had such a positive experience without her support. I was in early labor for almost 3 days, and she talked to us on the phone numerous times to help us feel confident and ready to go to the hospital, especially as we didn't plan on having an epidural unless necessary. At the hospital, Shannon stayed with us after I was admitted for the 12 hours of labor, providing mental and physical support. It allowed my husband to focus on me mentally, holding my hand and cheering me on, and not having to worry about all the various techniques and support measures from our birthing class. When things became more intense once my water broke, Shannon was the calm, level-headed presence we needed to make it through naturally. I would not think twice about hiring Shannon to be your doula. You will not regret it!

My partner and I stumbled upon Shannon’s website and could not have been happier we did! Shannon took the time to get to know us and understand my preferences, comforts and concerns about labor and birth with my first baby. During labor, she was by my side the whole (very long) time encouraging me and using her many techniques to keep me as comfortable and relaxed as possible. My partner and I loved working with Shannon and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a down to earth, skilled, knowledgeable and devoted doula! I hope to work with her again on any future babies that may be in store!

Shannon was such a comforting and valuable part of my experience becoming a first-time mother, and I'm so grateful that my husband and I chose her when we were on the fence about having a doula at all. I almost certainly would have had either an episiotomy or a C-section without her encouragement and support during the labor and delivery process. She was incredibly responsive and attentive, even sitting on a floor for hours through the night to support me during earlier phases of labor, propping me up and talking me through the pushing phase for over 4 hours, and offering me so many options to soothe me as I went through the different stages of labor. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a doula.

It is hard to put into words what a difference Shannon made in our lives after I gave birth. My postpartum journey was more difficult that I imagined it would be, but when I felt scared, overwhelmed and vulnerable, Shannon made me feel safe. She was able to show up for me in so many ways. She listened and helped me process big feelings, she provided guidance and encouragement when I felt lost, and created space for me to focus on my recovery by helping with the things that felt too big to tackle alone. As our postpartum doula, Shannon created stability during the biggest, hardest, most wonderful transition of our lives. We will forever be grateful for her!

Shannon is an old soul. We cant thank her enough for the support she provided during our pregnancy and birth. We interviewed several doulas each with a strong background, but our gut told us Shannon was the right fit. We made the right choice. She came prepared, asked the right questions, and made sure we were comfortable with the process. She was with us during the most challenging part of the labor, helping us deliver a healthy baby. Her soft voice, warm smile, and confidence was a guiding light during the final hours of labor. For anyone questioning hiring a doula Shannon reinforced our belief it is an investment well worth making.

Seth
So grateful we had Shannon as our doula. We ended up having a 40 hour induction that resulted in a c section but with Shannon's guidance we felt empowered and supported throughout the process. She came to the hospital Friday night at the start of our induction to go through positions, and set the labor room up as a calm environment. She returned Saturday night even though we were not in active labor to help with positioning and by morning we had finally made progress. She returned Sunday morning and we continued with positioning before we found things were not progressing. Since everything we had been doing with Shannon should have helped the issue we decided to proceed with the c section and we're so fortunate to be in a hospital where she could accompany us to the or. She kept me distracted (as discussed in our sessions at home) while Seth was able to go see our baby. If you are looking for someone who is organized and supportive, calm and compassionate you will be lucky to have Shannon.

As a first-time mom I am so grateful that I was able to work with Shannon early on in my pregnancy. She helped me feel incredibly prepared. My labor was nothing short of amazing. Of course, not everything goes exactly as planned, but I still had the most pleasant, supported, and deeply cherished birth experience. Shannon advocated for me in every possible way. Every person who walked into our L&D room said, “It’s such a vibe” 😂 I know without Shannon’s support, I would have felt so much more anxious about childbirth. I am so grateful!!!
