From the moment we met Shari, when I was in my 3rd trimester with our first child, we instantly felt at ease. Up until that moment I was scared, anxious and feeling powerless about what to expect during labor. Shari came with a world of knowledge and showed us a path I hadn't even considered, until we met. After our first meeting, we scoured the internet researching and gathered more information. Starting to believe in myself and the possibility of a completely natural water birth, I switched practices at 35 weeks. Shari continued to support me and my husband and provide us with information and resources throughout the remainder of the pregnancy. During labor, Shari's support, calm nature and soothing words helped carry me through and we now have the memory of a beautiful birthing experience. Shari is an educator and always gently encouraged us to ask why and seek more information. Never judging and always supportive of our decisions once she knew we educated ourselves. A beautiful, kind, giving heart and ever so grateful she entered our lives. Shari continues to be a part of our lives as we have learned Shari is far more than *just* a doula. Whenever I relish in the memories of our daughter's birth, I know Shari played a big role in the magnificent outcome that became my proudest and most memorable moment in life.
