Testimonial for Sheri Joy Chamberlin, CD (DONA)
Sheri was wonderful before and during our daughter's birth. We met Sheri when she presented about the role of a doula in our pregnancy and childbrith class. She demonstrated a calm and soothing demeanor and she was warm when we introduced ourselves at the end of class.
My husband and I had our first out-of-class meeting with Sheri at Camber in Bellingham. I was completely impressed by small things she did to make me feel comfortable--even then. For example, when we got up to leave, Sheri slightly moved the table to accomodate my pregnant stomach and make it easier for me to get out.
Weeks later, my water broke at 2 a.m. and we contacted Sheri at 4 a.m. We asked her to come to the hospital at 5. She was responsive to our text at 4 a.m. and responded to the hospital immediately after we asked. It was incredibly relieving to see her when she arrived.
Sheri had creative relaxation suggestions that varied from bringing flameless candles to using aroma therapy. During labor, she supported me with words and also offered excellent physical support--from keeping my body as clean as possible to repeating phrases I told her were particularly comforting. She even held my legs throughout my pushing.
My husband appreciated Sheri's calmness through labor and delivery.
