Shamika Doula: Empowering Birth Experiences with Energy and Comfort

At the beginning of the 3rd trimester, we decided to look for a doula that could help to ease my anxiety for delivery and to help us advocate for ourselves. We chose Shamika because we knew she would be able to help us with these, as well as bring the energy and comfort we needed.

Shamika provided great support tools before delivery via WhatsApp and made sure to check in frequently to ask how I felt and provide guidance. Ultimately, with a medical induction at 40 weeks which included an epidural before the induction process began, labor pain coping skills weren’t needed (at all), but Shamika brought her best game to the pushing phase, for which she brought fresh energy and comforting support.

Experience Peaceful Delivery and Postpartum Support with Coco’s M’brace, Your Trusted Doula

We are so glad she was with us for the delivery of our healthy baby girl and that she was able to provide breastfeeding support afterwards. She helped contribute to a positive induction birth story that I never thought would be possible. Thank you, Shamika!
