Testimonial for Shari McBurney
All I can say is thank goodness for Shari. Had it not been for her, I may have given birth to my baby on my bathroom floor...but I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. Shari was recommended to me by a friend who had worked with her and had a great birth experience. Given how everything was unchartered territory, my husband and I decided it would be a good idea to hire a doula so that we'd have someone alongside us who was a knowledgeable advocate and could help us through the labor and delivery of our baby.
We didn't meet with anyone else, and in my opinion, we didn't need to. Shari was a perfect fit for us. She is very positive, realistic, professional, laid back, and fun -- great traits that everyone should look for in their doula. We found her to be extremely helpful leading up to the birth (she provided great resources to us and even taught our prepared childbirth class at our hospital). On the day of, she was instrumental in helping us read the signs of contractions and all of the fun leading up to labor in order to figure out the right time to head to the hospital. She was also amazing during my labor, both providing support to my husband and me. She has a great relationship with my hospital and our doctors which made our experience that much better. This meant she worked seamlessly with them during my labor and delivery – leaving my husband and I to focus on the pushing. I had a speedy labor and was so grateful that Shari was able to provide guidance and information so that we made the right decisions based on our previously agreed upon beliefs, preferences, and goals. To anyone looking to find a doula, look no further than Shari!
