Testimonial for Sharea Jenkins CD(DONA),CLC
We found Sharea through a friend of ours who recommended her. After the first conversation with her I knew she was the person I wanted with me during the birth of our baby. She is incredibly uplifting and joyful! During our meetings she got to know us and she really became a friend to us! I had our baby at home and when active labor started, Sharea came to be with me. I remember the intensity of the contractions and when she entered the room. She came stright to me and started to massage my back. I immediately felt the tension leaving my shoulders and face. She was calm and collected and her instincts were spot on. She knew how to help me progress through labor and when it was so intense and painful I didn’t think I could go on she had the encouragement I needed. When the pain was more than I thought I could cope through and I felt stuck in one position, she instinctually knew I needed to get into the tub. I didn’t want to go, I didn’t want to move at all! But once I got into the water I felt an immediate release in my back which was giving me excruciating pain. A few hours later I gave birth to our son. While I was pushing she gave me cues and tips to make the pushing effective. Each time she spoke it was calm and confident, a gentle guiding that I could trust. Sharea has a gift as a birth doula and I would recommend her highly!!!
