I can't even begin to put into words how valuable Shari was through the entire pregnancy process, but especially during labor and delivery. We found Shari at the recommendation of a friend that had worked with her twice before, and after looking into several websites for doulas we set up a Zoom to meet. We knew immediately from her positive energy and passion that she was the right person to guide us through our first pregnancy.
We were able to take our birthing class as well as a Spinning Babies class with Shari, and we successfully turned a transverse baby to a head down position for vaginal delivery. Spinning Babies became an integral part of my pregnancy, and Shari had great recommendations for other providers to help when needed (acupuncture, massage, etc).
It was important to me to have someone on my team that knew my desired birth plan, as well as when and how to pivot if things didn't go exactly as I had hoped. My husband was also really anxious about me being in pain during labor, and she knew exactly how to keep him as comfortable as possible and when to give him breaks. There was no way I would have had the courage or stamina to proceed with my ideal birth plan without Shari, she made it all possible and I couldn't be happier with how everything went.
I feel so fortunate to have had Shari on our team; I wish everyone going through pregnancy and labor/delivery had access to such an amazing support person!
