Dear Shannon,
Words just can't express how grateful we are that you came into our lives. I'm not sure that I can properly say "thank you" to you for everything that you did for me/us. You took a very scary & overwhelming situation and made me feel empowered & in control. You were comforting & supportive, knew just what I needed, even when I, myself, did not. You really took a lot of pressure off Mike, too! I'm so grateful to have had a completely different experience with this birth, than my last one, thanks to you. I am proud of what my body was able to do and I know that I could not have done it with out you. If/when we decide to have another baby I will ABSOLUTELY be calling you and I am recommending you to all my friends. Please wear   this necklace as a token of my appreciation for helping me to "breathe" when my husband couldn't. 
                                                                                                        With eternal gratitude,
                                                                                                      Becky, Mike, Ella & Chloe      

                                               

Thank for all you have done for Courtney and our family.  Knowing you were there for her and Ryan brought me so much peace, it is hard to explain, but I truly knew that she was safe with you…both physically and emotionally. You have truly been instrumental in our lives…a true gift. Here is a picture of our little girls…the cousins that you helped bring into this world.
Much love, appreciation, and thanks,
Kimberly                                                                     

Dear Shannon,
I really cannot tell you how much we all appreciated having you with us for my labor & delivery.  I know beyond a doubt that you were the reason I had the birth I wanted-and I could not have done it without you....really truly I would have not made it! Cooper is doing great-already circumcised and still going strong with
the bfeeding.  XO Carla

“I truly appreciate all the long hours you spent by my side directing me in position changes, breathing methods, and massaging me...Thank you for touching our lives in such a special way. I couldn’t have asked for anyone nicer to be by my side in support.”
Alethea & Chris

“Shannon, thank you for providing me with the ‘ammo’ and support in keeping both myself and the doctors on my goal of a VBAC.  The literature and support you provided me was a huge help. Thank you for keeping me on track and helping me follow my dream.”  
Deb, Chris & Baby Nora

“Shannon was the only reason that I was able to follow as closely to my birthing plan as possible. When I felt that the hospital staff were strongly encouraging a c-section, Shannon provided me with alternatives that prevented it.  She never left my side except to get me ice chips. Her caring for me extended well after delivery when I was at my wit's end with  nursing difficulties. Without Shannon, I would have stopped breastfeeding after a week.”
