"Inviting Shanté to be a part of the birth of our first baby was the best decision we’ve made!!! She went above and beyond before, during, and after the birth to make sure we felt prepared. A few of the ways she helped us included (among many others!) teaching daily birth prep exercises, explaining things we might encounter in a hospital birth and supporting our informed choices, coaching and bringing an incredible energy during the birth, and visiting to check on the whole family after the birth! If you are looking to add confidence and comfort to the unknowns of childbirth, Shanté is the person you want in your corner!! "

"Had a wonderful experience with Shante doing placenta encapsulation for me! So much so that I hired her again for after I give birth to my second baby! Looking forward to working with her again and would absolutely recommend her services! "

"Shante was amazing, we were overwhelmed and super tired during childbirth, but Shante's presence was a god send. We were very happy with the warmth and care she provided is and would recommend her to anyone."

"So intuive, kind and calming. Really worked with me despite complex health to help me have the best birth possible. Highly recommend!"

"It has been almost three years since my delivery, yet I still find myself thinking about Shante often. I am so incredibly grateful for the support she provided during such a pivotal time in my life.

As my doula, Shante was absolutely amazing, helping me navigate all the fears and challenges that came with pregnancy. When you deliver in a hospital setting, you don’t always know which doctor will be on call, so having an experienced person by my side who truly cared and understood my journey from start to finish made all the difference."

"Shanta was a wonderful doula! She helped prepare myself, husband, and even our sweet old dog for our first human baby :) Her energy is amazing - bubbly while also calming, I would highlyyyy recommend her! "

"Shante is an incredible Doula. If I have another baby, I will be hiring her again!"

"Shante was an incredible support throughout my pregnancy and birth journey. She helped me feel prepared, calm, and confident every step of the way. Her spirit is uplifting, and she has a positive presence and voice of reason when you need it most. Although I had a C-section, she still came to visit us afterward, made my placenta pills, and gave a thoughtful parting gift. Her care and dedication truly meant so much to me. I would highly recommend Shante to any expecting mother looking for a supportive, knowledgeable, and compassionate doula."

"Shante is a dedicated amazing doula! She stayed by my side through my entire labor and helped me immensely throughout the whole process. And on top of that she has a delightful personality!"

"Shante was so caring, calm, supportive, and generally WONDERFUL as our doula. My labor was 36 hours, and she was with us for most of that time, ultimately transferring to the hospital with us to welcome our baby girl. She was a HUGE support to my husband, and he appreciated her presence and guidance along our very long birth/labor journey. "

"Shante's passion for this work is palpable. I felt fully supported by Shante throughout my pregnancy and during the birth of my first child. Shante was knowledgeable and skillfully answered every question my husband and I posed. Our meetings pre-labor prepared us well with nutritional guidance, stretches, and comfort measures. During labor, Shante anticipated my needs, ensured I knew what to expect at each step, and collaborated exceptionally well with my medical team. Shante, in many ways, also acted as a doula for my husband during the labor process. I highly recommend Shante for all families and hope to work with her again when it is time for my second baby!"

"I am a perinatal therapist and refer a lot of my clients to Shante for birth and postpartum doula services and my clients always share how held, supported and cared for they are by Shante. Shante has an extraordinary gift and she is able to help my clients (who mostly have previous prenatal loss or birth trauma) have safe and healing birth experiences. "

"Shanté is the best person EVER !!!! She is loving, kind, respectful and has such a positive look on the world. She has lots of passion for being a doula, Shanté was definitely born to help moms and their families. She understands and is very respectful towards everyone’s situation. I have known Shanté as a friend and as a professional. She is absolutely an amazing person. We love Shante so much !! ❤️❤️"

"Shante is a wonderful doula and such an amazing person. She has a calming yet confident presence that, for me, was exactly what I needed to get me through the difficult labor. It was so easy to trust her and let her help guide the process. Couldn’t recommend her more!"

"Shanté immediately felt like a member of our family. After a very challenging fertility journey that included infant loss, we knew we wanted a doula by our side for the birth of our son. Shanté came highly recommended not only from a close friend, but also from our OB. We had two prenatal visits with her (one virtual, one in person) and she made us feel understood and at ease. She heard our concerns and anxieties and truly listened. It was so comforting to have her there on the day of our c-section, to help pass the time, provide support, and keep the laughs flowing. She was able to comfort both my husband and me in the operating room during the birth and also take photos to capture incredibly precious moments. We also did two postnatal visits (one virtual, one in person) and she could answer questions about sleep, lactation, carriers, etc. Shanté has seen it all and her experience and warmth shine through in her care. "

"Amazingly warm, thoughtful and considerate. Couldn't be happier with our decision to include Shante in our birth journey! "

"Shante is an incredibly warm and supportive doula. From the second I met her I knew she’d always be in my corner and she was. Cannot recommend her enough!"

"Shante was so very patient and attentive before, during and after our child's birth. She was grounding and adaptive during times of change and always shared her very best, I'm sure of that. She takes her job seriously, to the point where it does not seem that it's just a job, this profession is a woven in part of her being. I'm so very grateful Shante was a part of our journey to bring our child into this world."

"I could not possibly say enough good things about Shante! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a competent, proactive doula who knows how to help at every turn (be it by stepping in or stepping back!) She was a port in the storm during my entire pregnancy and the best advocate during labor. "

"Shante was incredible, so calm, knowledgeable, and endlessly supportive. She made us feel confident and cared for every step of the way. We truly couldn’t have done this without her!"

"Shante was amazing!!! She was super patient, kind, and helpful. She was always there for me during my pregnancy and had so much knowledge, I never felt alone. I’m so grateful to have had her as my doula for my planned unmediated birth. I will forever recommend her and her services. My daughter is three and I still think about how much she made my experience smooth and not intimidating. She made my pregnancy and birthing experience a joy! "

"Working with Shante was amazing from start to finish! She was always available to address my and my family’s questions, concerns or thoughts, made a plan and recommendations for me leading up to when we welcomed a new member into our family and checked in with me weeks after that. I really was able to have a smooth 4th trimester because of Shante’s help and I would do it all over again! "

"Shante accompanied me to two consecutive births, I would take her again anytime! Her loving, warm, care, delivered with sensetivity and thoughtfulness is exactly what I needed during childbirth. It felt like my mother was with me (except I'd NEVER take my mother along!) Thanks Shante for an unforgetable experience twice over!"

"Shante was excellent in understanding our family’s needs. She was an outstanding communicator and advocate, and her support was most valuable during our birth preparation, delivery, and recovery. 10/10, thank you Shante!"

"I can’t recommend Shante enough. She is warm, down-to-earth, and has the most grounding mama-bear energy - you instantly feel safe with her. I connected with her right away, and her support meant everything during a complicated and emotional time in my personal life. She navigated my situation with grace and zero judgment, checked in on me before and after birth, and showed so much genuine love for me and my baby.

During my second pregnancy, she continued to offer thoughtful guidance and steady support. Even though I ultimately needed a C-section, she helped me feel informed, empowered, and at peace with the decision. I am incredibly grateful to have had her by my side."

"Shanté was absolutely pivotal in my experience with labor as a first time mom. As someone who is naturally anxious, she helped calm me through every step of the way. My labor was long and exhausting and I can’t imagine what we would’ve done without her helping us through each passing minute. Highly recommend!! "

"Shante was our doula for the birth of my first son. She was amazing - both during my pregnancy and during labor itself. I can’t recommend her highly enough!"
