Hi! My name is Shannon Sappington and I am the owner of Serving Hands Doula! I have been a doula since 2016, providing personalized support and care to my clients during their pregnancy, labor and birth! Before becoming a certified Labor Doula, I achieved a Masters degree in Counseling as well as a teaching certificate in elementary education. My educational background and experiences enhance my abilities as a labor doula. I have a nurturing and compassionate spirt and I believe that the best tools I bring into every birth are my heart, my hands and my voice. My goals are to equip you to be ready mentally, physically and emotionally, and to serve you during the journey of your pregnancy, labor and the birth of your baby. Besides being a doula, I love doing life with my husband, our four kids and three dogs! We are an adoptive family - so my husband and I have 3 biological children and 1 through adoption. We love Jesus, laughing, cracking jokes, eating Chinese food, going on trips and also relaxing at home watching a movie. I try to not take life for granted and enjoy the big and the small moments of everyday life. God is my life breath and He is woven all throughout my story.

As a labor doula, I offer a few packages so clients can choose the one that is the best fit for you! I have 3 doula services packages and 1 package for just belly binding. As your doula, we will meet 1-2 times before your birth to get to know one another, go over your previous births (if any), learn and practice comfort measures, go over any questions you may have and get ready for your birth. In addition to each package. you will get: 24/7 access to me via email and text A list of community resources available to you Access to my Lending Library of books related to pregnancy and delivery A gift at your postpartum visit
