Testimonial for Shari McBurney
I chose Shari from a list of more than 30 doula's that my midwife had given me. I knew nothing about how to choose a doula, so started by looking at each doula's website. Some doula's didn't have a website, some had a site, but it didn't have much more than their name and contact information. Then there was Shari's site - it was loaded with information and resources. This is what initially drew me to her.
To me, the role of a doula is not only to support you, but also to guide you. Shari is the embodiment of this - she is very down to earth, gentle, caring and compassionate, but also very no nonsense and will get straight to the point when necessary. This was exactly what I needed at 2 am when my birth was not at all going as planned and I needed someone to reassure me, but also to answer my questions about all the medical interventions that were being suggested for me.
After my birth, Shari was there for me in every way that I needed - both with encouraging words, and a care package of nourishing treats. She was also perfecly adept at being present and available for me and my husband without being too intrusive. She has continued to be a resource for me postpartum and I am so glad to have found her! I highly recommend her.
