Testimonial for Sharea Jenkins CD(DONA),CLC
I can’t say enough good things about Sharea and our experience! I had an unmedicated home birth with my husband, a midwife and her team, and Sharea as our Doula, and it was wonderful! Hiring a Doula was the best decision we made!
The main reason for hiring a Doula is because it is not easy for my husband to see me in pain. I was afraid that he would panic and suggest to go to the hospital.
Also, for first-time moms, labor tends to be longer. I didn't know what to expect and definitely wanted some help and encouragement.
Last but not least, I wanted somebody experienced, i.e., who knows what to do and how to help me prepare for labor and go through it.
After our zoom call with Sharea, we immediately hired her. She was so positive, confident, and relaxing! Even talking to her calmed me down and made me believe that I CAN DO IT no matter what because my body is designed to do it.
I had a quite short active labor, but a long pushing phase (2.5 h). Sharea's encouragement was such a great help! When thought I was not progressing, she told me how amazing I was! And this encouragement and emotional support made me try again and again and eventually push my baby out.
Honestly, I’m not sure if I could have done it without a Doula, even though my midwife was amazing too. She gave me confidence and definitely made me less anxious.
If you are looking for a Doula, hire Sharea because she is great at what she is doing. She is knowledgeable, easy-going, charming, and warm-hearted.
Independently of the type of birth you are planning (home, birth center, or hospital), I highly recommend Sharea! It will definitely make your experience much nicer and easier, and you will not regret it!
