Testimonial for Shari McBurney
My husband and I LOVED working with Shari throughout our pregnancy. When we first hired Shari over the summer doulas were allowed in the hospitals. We were due in Jan and did not anticipate that changing so we were looking forward to having Shari's support in the hospital as this was our first baby and we were very nervous. Unfortunately the hospitals banned doulas again beginning of Dec. Shari did everything she could to try and get us an exception but when that was denied she made sure we were completely prepared virtually. I was really distraught by this leading up, but it ended up being just what we needed. Shari had scheduled a zoom check-in with us on our due date, I was looking forward to her support that day & sharing some symptoms I was having. That led to Shari suggesting that I check my blood pressure where she was able to quickly identify that something might be off and sent us in to the Dr. I ended up having labor-induced preeclampsia that I would have likely not caught without Shari’s insight. We were induced that day and Shari was instrumental in helping us make all the overwhelming decisions we were faced with when our labor plan went out the window. All of this happened virtually and we were so reassured when every time a nurse or Dr. entered our room they knew exactly who Shari was and that we would be consulting her before making any decisions. Shari was virtually present consistently when we needed her throughout the day starting with our zoom at 9:30 AM and ending with our son’s birth at 2:00 AM and the hours that followed. Shari will always be a part of our birth story and fond memories of that day and making what could have been a very stressful situation, as seamless and calm as possible. My husband and I also really enjoyed getting to know Shari throughout our time together and consider her a friend. I would highly recommend enlisting Shari to support your pregnancy and delivery virtually or otherwise!
