I approached Shari early in my pregnancy, before I had even chosen an OBGYN and she was involved and interested in my pregnancy from the very beginning. I told her that I wanted someone to mentor me throughout my pregnancy experience, and she did. We checked in after each appointment I had with the OBGYN, she emailed me information at least weekly and met with me when I needed extra support. When I had questions she always had information to share that helped me make educated decisions. On the day of my birth she came to my house and met me at the hospital as I labored. She was a tremendous help to my husband as well. Shari was able to capture the birth in a video and take some pictures for us. My birth was awesome and Shari knew the best ways to support us throughout our journey. I would highly recommend her as a doula and I would like to have her attend any other births I have. She continues to support me by answering questions, she says that she's on call for the rest of your life and she means it. Warning: if Shari is your doula you may have a new friend for life.
