Testimonial for Shari McBurney
On 12/4/2014 my wife and I welcomed our son into the world. Shari McBurney was a HUGE help throughout the pregnancy and delivery of our child. We first met Shari at a series of natural childbirth classes that she was conducting. The breadth of her knowledge and the energy she brought to each class was truly impressive. With each class running around 3 hours and a total of 4 classes we had a good amount of time to get to know Shari and appreciate her experience with childbirth process. Prior to the start of the classes we had no plans to use a doula. Before we were done taking the classes though we decided that it would be a good idea to use a doula and that Shari was whom we wanted to work with. Our reasons for wanting to utilize a doula were based around the desire to have additional support throughout the labor especially since we had a goal of having a natural childbirth. The comfort level we had with Shari made the question of which doula we wanted to work with an easy one. Prior to the day of delivery Shari made herself available to respond to questions or concerns we had. Her responses were always informative and positive. She never made us feel like we were asking a question that wasn’t worth asking. As the due date got closer our anxiousness started to increase but Shari was great at calming our nerves. When the big day finally arrived she promptly arrived at the hospital. Her presence in the delivery room immediately made us feel more at ease. From that point on she did everything she could to not only help my wife but to even make sure I was doing ok. Ultimately due to some complications we were not able to have a natural childbirth but Shari had prepared us for this during class. Looking back at the whole experience we couldn’t imagine Shari not being a part of our story. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a doula. She has a huge heart and was incredibly supportive throughout our whole process.
