Relevant volunteer or advocacy work
As a social worker, my focus is on how to support the transition to new family, and provide continuous support so that no one has to bridge those changes alone. Reproductive Justice is very important to me, that people are able to receive all of the reproductive care that they need in a compassionate and non-judgemental fashion, and that parents are able to and supported in caring for their families and raising their children in the way that they choose to.
Fee Details
Welcome to the doula search! I’m Sherraine, a doula for those desiring a strong advocate and cheerleader during birth and postpartum. I’m a social worker which greatly informs my practice- to listen non-judgmentally and help you identify and utilize your inner strengths to navigate labor and birth. I’m also in this for the babies, I cannot lie :). In postpartum, I care most about taking care of YOU, so that you can bond with your baby. You deserve to be mothered, too. Please check out my website and reach out if you are interested in working together. I believe that everyone deserves a Doula! I will work with each family on an individual basis to create a package that can meet your needs. I am committed to ensuring access to quality doula care for lower-income birthing people, and can offer sliding scale packages. Finances won't be the reason we don't work together.

Sherraine joined us during our homebirth as a backup doula and was exactly what we needed to get through the remainder of our labor and birth experience. She brought in a fresh, new energy and confidently supported us both physically and emotionally for the final few hours. I highly recommend Sherraine to anyone looking for doula support.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Sherraine! I had a lot of fears about labor and Sherraine helped me work through them in several ways: (1) by pointing me to available research; (2) by helping me realize the limits of research and get comfortable with the unknown; and (3) by spending significant time going over physical ways to ease discomfort during labor.
I was in my third trimester of pregnancy when the coronavirus pandemic hit New York City. It was a scary and uncertain time in a lot of ways, and as we faced a constantly changing landscape of rules and circumstances, we were so grateful for Sherraine's reassuring expertise and calming presence. When we switched entirely to zoom services, Sherraine did not miss a beat. When I labored at home for 9 hours before going to the hospital, we relied entirely on the positions and and pain management techniques that Sherraine had showed us.
One of the things I loved most about Sherraine is that she does not impose any particular viewpoint on how labor should be; rather, she asks questions that help you consider the available options and think about what works best for you. She is also very knowledgeable and responsive to questions and concerns. These qualities make her an excellent doula. She was an indispensable part of our team and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
