I couldn't be happier to say, this woman was one of the first people in the world to meet my daughter. I could not have chosen a more perfect Birth Doula. She supported educated and reassured my boyfriend and me, throughout my pregnancy. I learned so much, not just about birth and pregnancy, but about self care and self love. ❤I will search the entire universe for her, for any future pregnancies. ❤ Shelby, you forever have a place in our hearts.

10 out of 10 would highly recommend. Shelby is one of the most beautiful souls I have the pleasure of knowing. She is knowledgeable, she holds space, and she advocates. She truly wants you to have the birth of your dreams. I was pregnant 42 weeks and by 40 weeks I called her everyday, she was reassuring and she is the reason I kept my peace. I wanted to have him so bad and she kept me in the right head space. She’s amazing and I’m better by knowing her.

During labor, Shelby was the best emotional and physical support person I could’ve asked for. She helped me and my husband throughout my 49 hour long labor. Her words, calm demeanor, and touch were more comforting than I can express. She helped my husband feel comfortable with what was happening and encouraged him to advocate in certain situation in the hospital. She helped keep the atmosphere calm, nurturing, and supportive, and I highly recommend hiring Shelby as your doula. My labor did not go as expected but I felt supported with her by my side.

While my birth plans changed and I ended up having a c-section, I can not imagine my pregnancy /birth/ postpartum period without Shelby. I met her a bit late in my pregnancy but the amount of knowledge and comfort she gave me was everything I needed and more. My son was sent to the NICU after being born and Shelby was right there with him when I could not be. She helped guide my husband and I on how to best advocate for ourselves. I will never stop thanking her for her constant love and dedication for me, my son and really my whole family. I know I did not have the typical "doula experience" but I believe that shows just how amazing (to say the least) Shelby is. Every momma deserves to have an angel by her side during this huge event in their lives and Shelby is just that. She will make you feel confident, knowledgeable and in the absolute best, most kind, loving hands.

As a 3rd time mama attempting my first unmedicated birth at home I couldn’t have imagined not having Shelby to guide me through this transformative experience. The time and attention she took to make me and my husband feel safe & supported throughout this pregnancy has been such a special experience that we unfortunately missed out on with my other 2 little ones. While I felt that I had done my research, was very informed and knew what to expect this time around each time we met I felt I learned something new and became more and more confident in my ability to rock my homebirth. And while I did end up rocking my birth and delivering my little guy unassisted right before she and my midwife made it to our home, I can’t tell you how much of a necessity having her there in those pivotal hours following such a wild ride my sons 45 minute birth was- yes your reading that right, hence why she wasn’t there in time and thank goodness she didn’t listen to my silly self when I first reached out to her and told her I thought labor was beginning when I was actually already nearing transition. If your looking for someone to put your mind at ease and love on you and your perfect new babe fiercely you're definitely in the right place. I couldn’t imagine having shared this experience with anyone else, beyond grateful for her endless support & friendship through this pregnancy and tough postpartum season.
