🌸 A Heartfelt Thank You 🌸
Your support truly made a difference in my pregnancy journey. You made me feel loved, supported, and most importantly — never alone.
You were there in the right moments — when I felt scared, overwhelmed, happy, or uncertain. I felt so comfortable with you that you became the person I wanted by my side during birth, even more than family. Every time I felt a contraction, it was your hug I longed for.
You were more than just a doula —
You were my MAIN SUPPORT.
You helped me understand that being pregnant was a blessing from God, and reminded me that I wasn’t the first — or the last — to become a mother at 18. Your words and presence gave me strength, confidence, and peace.
I love you, and I will forever remember you. 💖

Having Shanely as my doula was one of the best experiences of my pregnancy and birth. From the first meeting, she instilled incredible peace in me, always listening carefully to my concerns and giving me the confidence I needed at every stage.
During my pregnancy, she provided me with clear, practical, and evidence-based information, which helped me feel prepared and confident. Her emotional support was invaluable, always available to answer my questions and remind me that every process is unique and valid.
During labor, her presence was a true gift. She accompanied me with patience, respect, and a calming energy that made all the difference in the most intense moments. She knew when to encourage me, when to give me space, and how to help everything flow more calmly and empoweringly.
After the birth, she was also attentive, lovingly guiding me through the postpartum process and ensuring that both my baby and I were well cared for.

An excellent person, her work impeccable. I'm very grateful for all the collaboration and support she provided to my twins and me.

I had a 9lb 8oz baby and I was pushing for about 1.5 hours and Shanely made sure I was at my best, kept me calm and walked me through every step of the way. She comes in as she's already part of our family and we appreciate her and her dedication for the arrival of our healthy baby boy.

Shanely is an absolute heaven-sent! Working with Shanely provided the peace, calmness and courage my husband and I needed to boldly pursue our VBAC. I faced many ups-and-downs in my pregnancy, yet Shanely encouraged me to stay consistent in my vision and goal and provided all the information my family needed. Shanely is truly knowledgeable, informative, and works with extreme patience.
During labor and birth, Shanely respectfully and calmly reassured me and guided me in the most gracious way to stay focused on my goal. I deviated from my original birth plan in the middle of contractions and I never felt judged by Shanely, which I gratefully appreciate. Let me add that more than a labor comb or candles can provide, even a visual piece of art, a great doula can be the strength you need to keep going even if doubt fills your mind.
Questioning getting a doula if you are planning an epidural? Guess what? You still need your doula! I know I did! In addition to everything, Shanely also took photos and videos of our birth and sweet baby which I am ever grateful for!
Shanely is part of our birth story that I longed for, a redemptive VBAC. I have so much more to say, but if I can summarize my experience working with Shanely in one word, it would be empowering.
