Shari was everything I hoped for in a doula. I hired her for the birth of my second child. She was available anytime leading up to my daughter’s birth, for questions or just to listen if needed. Before I thought I needed her during early labor, she stopped by anyway to check on me since she was nearby. I knew she would be the guardian of my wishes for birth and baby care at the hospital, as she was. She is a strong advocate for moms/families when needed; for example, within days after the birth, she wrote a letter to hospital head staff, copying my OB, to complain about various experiences we had at the hospital. She was equally as available in the first weeks postpartum. On one visit she taught me a better technique for swaddling, then swaddled my 7 year old to give her a good dose of special attention, too. Shari is the gentle, strong, spiritual, motherly woman I would want by my side again should we have any more children.
