Testimonial for Shari McBurney

My husband and I had prepared and hoped for an unmedicated birth, and enlisted Shari's help in helping us acheive that goal. Shari was so helpful and available while we were laboring at home, answering our countless questions quickly and compassionately. She helped us by suggesting different laboring positions and tools, and gave us guidance in deciding when to go to the hospital. When it was time to go to the hospital, she met us there quickly and was an instant source of calmness and support. My husband was exhausted, and her kind, reassuring presence by my side allowed him to rest and refresh. Not only was she encouraging, calming, flexible, and knowledgeable in her support of me as I labored, but she also was helpful to the nurses and staff, anticipating all of our needs. Despite laboring through the night and into the morning, Shari was untiring and selfless, staying until our beautiful daughter was born and we were all settled. Thank you, Shari, for being a part of our wonderful birth, giving me courage and strength, and for making us all feel empowered and in awe of this amazing experience.
