Sharea has such a wonderful calm, positive energy. She was the first doula we met with, and I canceled my meet-ups with other doulas after meeting her because we hit it off so well and I liked her so much from the start. She was available and supportive throughout my pregnancy and always encouraging.
I had a long and somewhat strange early labor pattern that lasted a couple of days, and she made herself available to me even in the middle of the night to talk with me and support me through it. Once in active labor during my home birth, her calm, reassuring presence and gentle touch helped me immensely. She would remind me to let my tension go and helped me relax through contractions. She also helped my husband and mom feel involved in supporting me through labor.
Our sweet baby needed to come out quickly at the end. I was never scared but there was a sense of urgency in the room. I remember clearly Sharea in my face, calmly telling me that the baby needed to come out so to give it all I had with the next pushes. I don’t think I will ever forget that powerful moment right before our baby girl was born.
I am so thankful Sharea was a part of our birth team. I am also grateful for her help with breastfeeding during our first post-partum visit. We are big fans of Sharea! ??
