Let me start by saying Shari was an absolute lifesaver during my birth. It was an unmedicated birth at a birth center and despite childbirth classes and books and generally looking forward to a natural birth, I felt helpless and overwhelmed when things got really intense, and I didn’t even want my husband’s help- I just wanted Shari. She was fantastic. And my birth experience was wonderful. Hard, of course, but beautiful. I love reflecting on it. And, beyond just the birth experience, she offered us amazing support before and after. We met multiple times before to get to know each other and talk things over, and afterwards, she has gone above and beyond. For example, I had to go on antibiotics when my baby was eight days old and couldn’t breastfeed, and Shari drove and hour and a half to get donor breast milk for us to get us through that period. I also texted her with tons of questions about breast feeding and other topics, as she had told me to feel free to do. Shari is a gem of a person and truly passionate and knowledgeable about what she does.
