I can't speak highly enough about Shaniqua. She is warm, extremely knowledgeable, and puts you at total ease. Shaniqua was both my L&D doula and postpartum doula for my first born. I was ridiculously anxious about all things childbirth and newborn care, and Shaniqua was my number 1 support. She is a baby whisperer and absolutely loves her job. It is rare to find people that are so good at what they do. I recommend her to every one I know. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Shaniqua, don't hesitate to book her!!

As a first time mom, I had many concerns regarding my 13 month old’s sleeping and eating habits. He was not sleeping through the night and appeared to be the pickiest eater. We struggled trying to help him get past these challenges. A friend recommended Shaniqua to me and I am forever indebted to her for that. Such a small gesture changed the dynamic of our home. Thanks to Shaniqua’s guidance, mealtimes are no longer stressful and everyone is getting better rest at night! Despite the distance between us, Shaniqua is ALWAYS right by my side to coach me through a challenge no matter the time of day. Each day I grow more confident in helping my toddler through his developmental leaps and creating healthier eating and sleeping habits! She even guided us through bottle weaning!! I was terrified of this process but Shaniqua made it a breeze!! Shaniqua’s kindness, patience and reassuring demeanor put me at ease throughout this journey and I am truly grateful!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Shaniqua and the exceptional support she provided as my doula. I knew the moment I found out I was pregnant I wanted a doula for my birthing experience. From the very beginning, Shaniqua demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about all aspects of birth preparation, labor, and postpartum care. Her expertise as a full spectrum doula was evident, and she played a crucial role in easing my anxieties during what can be a very stressful time. Shaniqua was with me every step of the way: from pre-labor consultations where she patiently answered all my questions and helped me prepare, to being a calm and reassuring presence during labor, and providing invaluable support in the postpartum period. Her dedication to her work and her clients is truly remarkable. One of the most comforting aspects of having Shaniqua by my side was her ability to make me feel empowered and informed throughout the entire process. She offered practical advice, emotional support, and hands-on assistance, all tailored to my specific needs and preferences. Her warm and compassionate nature made me feel at ease, and her encouragement was instrumental in helping me navigate both the challenges and joys of childbirth. Additionally, Shaniqua is now our nanny, and her nurturing and attentive care continues to be a tremendous blessing for our family. She brings the same level of commitment and care to her role as a nanny as she did as a doula, ensuring our child's well-being and growth. If you're looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to supporting you through your journey into parenthood, I highly recommend Shaniqua. She is an extraordinary doula and caregiver, and I am incredibly grateful for her presence in our lives.
