Testimonial for Shari McBurney
I knew that I wanted a birth doula as soon as I got pregnant, and went searching for someone who was the right fit for myself and my husband. Shari is outgoing, informative, energetic, and wise. She was willing to work with us and our budget in order to give us the birth experience that we wanted. She was always available for questions and concerns via email and phone, which is very helpful to a first time momma! During the actual birth, she transformed into a calm and peaceful presence, who was always there with various techniques and assistance. She got to the hospital quickly and even though I was in active labor and in some discomfort, I remember her saying she was so happy to see me and gave me a big hug, which was so genuine and appreciated (even though I don't think I said thanks at the time :). She guided me through the different stages, and was an incredible help and support to my husband, whether it was getting him a snack, providing him with a stool just as his legs were about to give out, or showing him how to position me on the bed or in the bathroom. I was wary about having a hospital birth but Shari made the hospital room feel a bit more homey with some special touches. Her background in hospitality only enhances her skills as a doula and we would definitely recommend her! She stopped by a few weeks after our daughter was born to visit, which tied our whole experience together. We look forward to her being at the birth of our second babe, whenever that may be :)
