Testimonial for Shari McBurney
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Shari. We first met Shari when we took her childbirth class at Newton Wellesley Hospital during our first pregnancy. After a c-section with our first birth that did not go as well as we would have liked, we decided to work with Shari for our second birth, and she supported us in achieving a beautiful VBAC experience. She has a wonderful way of interacting with families; she is both a wealth of practical resources as well as a strong provider of emotional support. Our birth experience took place during the COVID pandemic, which created an additional layer of anxiety that Shari helped us manage. Due to hospital restrictions on visitors, Shari supported us virtually during our birth, but it felt like she was there with us! It happened to be a very busy day at the hospital, and she coached me through the entire labor and pushing process, especially when the midwife wasn't able to be there. Her presence made me feel comfortable and in control, and she helped my husband support me in the best possible way.
Also, Shari is well known and liked by the midwives, nurses, and OBs at Newton Wellesley Hospital, which was hugely helpful in facilitating her participation in labor. She knew the midwives and nurses we were working with, and helped us augment their skills in the best possible way.
We highly recommend Shari, and our only regret was not working with her for our first birth!
