From the Provider

"I grew up being inspired by science and medicine, which led me to pursue a career in women’s health. Along my journey, I volunteered as a doula and discovered midwifery and its core purpose of providing direct holistic care to women. As a midwife, I have the privilege of serving women, as well as my community. My hope is to provide a personal experience for my patients, balanced with social, emotional and educational support."

    I just switched over to Shannon because my originally provider left. I was nervous at first because I had such a good relationship with my past provider, but Shannon is amazing! She took the time to answer all my question and made sure I understood everything and put me at ease! She has a great presence and very easy to talk to- I couldn’t be happy with her as my provider!

    It was great! Very consent-conscious and informative. I appreciated the lack of weight bias or diet culture-related suggestions. Most medical providers can be very biased, ignorant, and offensive in these ways and I didn’t experience any of that here!
