Who am I?

Hello, I’m glad that you’re here.

I’m Shannon and I’m a mother of 4 and a wife of 1 amazing husband. I love rainy weather and drinking hot chocolates and 90% of the time, you’ll see me wearing dungarees. I live in Huntingdon which enables me to give care to Cambridgeshire, Rutland and parts of Northamptonshire. However, even if you’re not local, I do offer virtual support as well and most of my services can be given via Zoom.

I first realised that being a doula was something that I wanted to pursue after the birth of my 4th baby. She was a VBA3C and the journey I had to take to achieve that birth wasn’t easy. I knew that if I had more support, it would have been more manageable. I’ve experienced almost every kind of birth there is; induction, emergency c-section, semi-elective c-section and a physiological birth. I also prepared for a home birth three times and I was finally able to feel how relaxing water can be with my fourth baby.

I think this gives me a balanced perspective on all births and it enables me to help you reach an informed conclusion around the type of birth you want.

I’ve recently completed my training with Developing Doulas and I’m currently a mentored doula. I’m also a hypnobirthing facilitator using Birth Prep in a Box. At the start of 2024, I trained as a breastfeeding peer supporter with NCT and this training cemented the fact that I wanted to help expecting and new families.

Having a newborn is a magical time but it can also feel like you’re a deer in headlights. I’m passionate about helping new families feel confident in their decisions so they can settle into their “new normal” quicker.

If this all sounds like something you resonate with, I’d love to hear from you and have a chat about how I can support you.
