The first three words that come to mind when I recount my experience with Shari are caring, supportive, and knowledgeable. Throughout our pregnancy, Shari provided us with well researched information, answered all of questions quickly, and was always available to lend a caring ear or hand during difficult times. Fast forward to the days leading up to the arrival of our little girl and times got much more difficult. I had an exceptionally long labor (>50 hours) that ended not in the natural birth we had hoped for, but instead a cesarean. Throughout labor and ultimately delivery, Shari was our guide, our rock, and a relentless source of support for us. Without Shari’s presence and calm demeanor, the stress of our birth experience would have been overwhelming. Shari helped us to understand that there was no other way that our daughter could be born and provided continuous support as we prepared for major deviations from our birth plan. Even after our beautiful little girl’s birth, Shari has been in close contact to help us understand and process the birth experience that we had. I would highly recommend Shari to anyone seeking a doula to assist with their pregnancy, labor, and delivery and am so thankful we found her to guide us through ours.
