What were your first thoughts/feelings when you found out that you were pregnant?

Meet the doula, I think a proper introduction is in order!

My name is Shavon and I thought I would share a little about my self. I was born and raised here in the Tri-Cities, I am a wife, a mother to 6 young adults and a grandmother to two beautiful grankids. I love music, all kinds of music. I also love camping, hiking, backpacking, fishing, kayaking and pretty much anything else you can do outdoors.

I have a passion for serving others. I was a CNA for 20+ years then a Social worker in skilled nursing facilities for 7 years. Pregnancy, labor, and child birth is also a passion of mine and I am thrilled to be of service to you during pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum. It doesn't matter if it's your first baby or your 5th.

If you have any questions please feel free to DM, email, or text me.

When you change the way you view birth, the way you birth will change.

Let's talk a little about the common misconceptions when it comes to Doula's.

1. People only hire a doula if they are planning an all natural home or birth center birth.
FALSE ❌️

2. As a doula, I support all approaches to bith in all settings. Home, birth center, and hospitals births. Inductions, medicated, un- medicated, and even cesarean births. TRUTH✅️

3. Doula's dislike DR's. FALSE❌️

4. As a doula I am part of your birthing team and I am honored to work with you and your provider may that be a DR or a Midwife. TRUTH✅️

5. A doula will take the place of your partner during birth. FALSE❌️

6. As a doula I am there to assist and nurture the person giving birth as well as the partner if there is one present. TRUTH ✅️
