Shelby was my Doula for both of my children and I had the most amazing birth experiences both times. Both were completely different, and Shelby provided unmatched support each time. She was my calm amongst the crazy and was prepared for anything and everything. I appreciate the way she advocated for me at all times so that my husband and I could focus on bringing our baby into the world. And although she was there to support myself as a mom during labor, she was also a great support for my husband as well and helping him through the journey of supporting me. I have nothing but good things to say about Shelby and my experience with her! You won't regret hiring her!
