I contracted with Shatara a few weeks before my due date. She was excellent in the short bit of prenatal doula care I received, and really has made such an impact on the delivery and postpartum processes so far. She was a calm and assertive advocate for me while in the hospital during delivery and my subsequent days of care. She has been accessible and available for every question and concern I have had, reaffirming my parenting choices and educating me where I have needed assistance. Shatara has given me confidence, comfort, and knowledge in one of the most critical seasons of my life to-date. I am grateful for her and cannot recommend her enough to others.

Shatara was a pleasure to experience. In my most vulnerable moments she was there to lend a helping hand. She was very reassuring and supportive. She cooked me nutritious meals to help my body heal and educated me on the importance of repairing my body through certain foods and supplements,held on to the baby so I could get some rest and helped me with small tasks around the house. Her holistic approach was not only good for me ,she was a blessing to my whole family.

Shatara was a life line in my birthing experience. Her empathetic nature, calm competence and wealth of knowledge kept me supported me through the birth of My baby girl in a planned induction due to high risk components . She is truly a beautiful spirit. She provided prior to delivery planning and knowledge, birthing coach, and post natal support at home with daily checkins and even meal delivery and lactation consultation.

Where do I begin?! Shatara has provided superior services related to conceiving my first child, pregnancy support, postpartum support, and lactation. I could not have done it without her. She follows up promptly. Not to mention my unexpected birth and quick delivery she was there within minutes to support and advocate for me as per my birthing plan. She never missed a beat! She was/is literally my EVERYTHING!
