Testimonial for Shari McBurney
Shari was an amazing support throughout my pregnancy and during my birth. My husband and I were lucky enough to take her childbirth preparation class at Newton Wellesley Hospital, which gave us a lot of tools and information to know how to proceed when I went into labor. I happened to go into labor 3.5 weeks early, and Shari was there every step of the way - lending support via text when my water broke, guiding me through decisions about when to go to the hopsital. She met us in triage and helped me navigate some choices I needed to make in the early stages of labor, and then returned as soon as I went into truly active labor. I was fortunate to have a relatively fast and uncomplicated labor and delivery, and Shari made sure I was as comfortable as possible and that I was able to achieve an unmedicated birth. She prepared the tub, used massage and touch and words of encouragement, and was very hands on during the delivery. She made me feel safe and secure and able to birth my baby the way I wanted to. The nurses and midwives all clearly had a lot of respect and affection for Shari as well, which helped to ensure that my hospital experience was as calm and positive as it could be. I can't say enough good things about Shari! Forever grateful for how she helped me bring our child into the world.
