Doula Shamika: Your Trusted Companion and Advocate in the Journey of Motherhood

This was my first pregnancy, and I’m very glad that I had Shamika by my side, either physically or virtually. From the first interview, I found her to be knowledgeable about the labor and delivery process, very kind, energetic, and a person that I’d be comfortable being around during the most stressful time. 

She provided me with different resources on how to prepare for labor and how to induce labor naturally. I appreciate her contacting me regularly and making sure that I’m doing well. My labor had been very long and exhausting, but Shamika made this process much easier to cope with, and her emotional support really helped me get through this.

Coco’s M’brace: Making Your Labor Experience Easier with Compassionate and Knowledgeable Support

During the labor, she applied different methods, such as massage, touch, and breathing exercises, to alleviate the pain, and I’m very glad for that help. She was my truthful companion who I could trust and rely on during such a vulnerable, painful, overwhelming experience. I felt she was my advocate and just an amazing friend overall. If you are considering hiring a doula, I highly recommend Shamika, as she is the person who’ll have your back and be your dedicated advocate.
