Testimonial for Shari McBurney
I am so happy to share my experience working with Shari. With my first baby, I ended up having a planned c-section after I went past my due date and an ultra sound revealed that I was having a large baby. While I was so happy to have a healthy baby, I immediately knew wanted to seek a different birth experience with my next child. So when I became pregnant with my second child, I switched to a midwife who suggested hiring a doula and referred Shari to me. When I reached out to Shari via phone, I immediately liked her positive energy and spirit and after my husband and I met with her in person we knew she would be a great fit.
Prior to giving birth, Shari was great about being in touch and met with us to talk about how her role in our birth story. Whenever I had a question and reached out to Shari, she provided helpful information and in one case even sent a podcast to help. She was a wealth of knowledge and with all the information she provided it was so clear how passionate she is about what she does.
During my labor Shari was absolutely amazing. I had a very long labor and Shari was excellent at coming up with suggestions on how to move things along. While she was an integral part of my birth experience, she did not step on the toes of my husband, midwives, or nurses- she stepped in when it was needed and stepped back when it was appropriate. Shari was a constant support and gave me confidence and help that I needed to achieve an unmedicated VBAC. I cannot thank Shari enough for helping me achieve my goal and I dont think I could have done it without her!
My second night in the hospital, one of the nurses who was with me during my labor came to visit me and remarked on what a great and supportive Doula Shari was. I would highly recommend Shari to anyone who is looking for a Doula.
