Shari was just wonderful. She was very helpful with questions during my pregancy, and making me feel more confident and relaxed about the birth (my second child, and I was dreading going through natural childbirth a second time, knowing what I was in store for). Shari met me at the door to the hospital when I was in labor, and I didn't get there until the very end of labor. My contractions were very intense and she calmed me down, helped me be more comfortable, then got me into a delivery room ASAP. She calmly coached me through only about 20 minutes of pushing, then out the baby came! Right at the end, I was very overwhelmed by how fast the baby was coming, and Shari firmly but kindly told me to take control of the situation. This was exactly what I needed - I finally got control and slowed down the process a little, which saved me a lot of pain! Shari stayed with us for a while and was very helfpul establishing breastfeeding and ensuring I was ok after the delivery. I'd hire Shari again in a heartbeat!
