Testimonial for Sharliamar Konomi
Now looking back on the day of her birth, with our baby daughter in my arms, Shala was the center of calmness in chaos. As I was pregnant with my first baby in 2020, I wanted to have someone who can guide me and my husband through the process and be our advocate as I find the hospital setting a little unnerving especially during the pandemic. Pre-birth zoom calls were helpful, it was nice to have someone other than friends and husband to share pregnancy concerns and get advice. But it was on the day of delivery that she really helped us on so many aspects. I wanted to spend as much time as possible at home before going to the hospital so tried to sleep through early stages of contraction. Shala was available on chat/phone and eventually came to our place in the morning when we asked her to. She assessed which area I feel the the pain and encouraged me to do a few exercises together with her. At the hospital, we had 4 teams of nurses coming in and out as it was in between day/night shifts so we could not get consistent care by dedicated nurses. Shala filled the gap so well, making sure I breath well and move my body as much as possible (switching a peanut ball between legs periodically). My labor was smooth in the end and I really think it would have been so much worse without Shala. THANK YOU, SHALA!
