Testimonial for Shari Aizenman
I'm not sure how I would have managed without Shari. Prior to our birth she made sure we knew what all of our options were and exactly what questions to ask our providers. During labor she was amazing in being able to keep me centered and focused and her experience with bodywork enabled her to anticipate the kind of counter pressure and positioning that I needed even when I couldn't give voice to those needs myself. My active labor was very fast and intense (two hours from water breaking to delivery) and although my husband and I thought we'd have time to try out different things to see what worked in the moment what we really needed was Shari and her experience knowing what would work for us when.
Some of the most valuable of Shari's services came post birth. Her assistance while I was being tended to post birth allowed dad to go with baby and me to relax that both baby and I had the support we needed. Also, an extra set of hands helping to get baby latched and vernix rubbed in during our golden hour was amazing. She was able to guide us and give us confidence in handling our new little person and guide us in communicating our post birth procedure choices with the least amount of stress possible.
Long story short I would highly recommend working with Shari to any couple looking to surround themselves with experienced unwavering support during their birth process.
