Shari Aizenman is a force in the birthing community. She's a nexus, the center of all kinds of information, which she freely shares. Because of Shari, I was able to work through some issues I had with my first birth; plan a homebirth late in the game, when I didn't think it was something I could afford; navigate the system and take charge when hospital and NICU staff continually disregarded my wishes secure donor milk when I needed to have medical tests done a week postpartum. That's just off the top of my head.
Shari also helped my husband prepare for the birth during a difficult time and after a traumatic experience with our first birth -- and that took a lot of pressure off of me.
Shari's knowledge is broad-ranging, holistic, and deep. She knows more about birth than anyone else I know -- and I know people who write professionally about birth.
Shari helped me navigate the personal/spiritual, practical, and informational aspects of this birth and pregnancy. I'm so glad I know her -- she's changed my life for the better.
