Shannon’s impact was immense. She was kind and informative from the moment she took care of my client. She always asked permission and validated the laboring mama’s needs and desires. She advocated for her and spoke to her with great kindness and love. She explained everything she was going to do and was kind and personable while doing it. Shannon was a beautiful aspect of my client’s beautiful birth! Shannon is so appreciated for her professionalism and clear passion for her work and so deserves this award.
