Ratings and reviews
Shawna assisted me when I had my first child not too long ago. She was attentive, supportive, and had so much knowledge to share. I knew I wanted to breastfeed, and Shawna assisted me through the whole process! She knows her stuff and I will 100% be using The Gentle Fourth services for my next child. Thanks, Shawna!
