Shay served as my doula for both of my pregnancies. Neither of us expected for me to give birth twice within the span of 2 years but she provided exemplary doula support both times. Shay's work in the maternal space is unmatched. She offers education and insight into the labor and birthing process while also showing herself personable, tailoring her services to fit my specific needs and desires. During both labor experiences, I found myself wanting to deviate from my birth plan and Shay encouraged and guided my husband and I to stay the course based on what we had discussed and what she knew I was truly capable of. She works on your mental stamina and coaches on the physical preparation, including home workouts and dietary changes that can be beneficial to engaging the birthing experience. She even offers support for increasing intimacy with your partner to aid in being emotionally supported and connected for birth and postpartum. I couldn't have asked for a more holistic professional to assist me guide my babies earth-side. I'm eternally grateful for her presence and impact on my growing family.
