Testimonial for Sharina E Jensen BA, CD(DONA), HCHD, CLC
There is no experience more intimate and vulnerable than pregnancy and birth, and we cannot imagine our journey without Sharina by our side! Her presence as our doula was incredibly grounding and her expertise was invaluable. We had some special circumstances during our pregnancy, and she helped us learn exercises to support our baby in preparing for birth. She supported us in advocating for ourselves, and ultimately helped us achieve a birth that felt truly empowered. We had taken multiple birth classes and practiced a wealth of techniques- feeling confident in our plan- only to realize that much of what we’d imagined would work well for us during labor wasn’t quite what we needed. Sharina was able to guide us through techniques and anticipate mom’s needs with the calming energy that we needed. We gave birth in a hospital, and her professionalism and warmth was clearly appreciated by the whole medical team. Sharina’s expertise as a lactation consultant was huge for us, and her willingness to share an impromptu visit by phone after a particularly confusing and rough night for two first time parents was a precious gift. When dad describes his experience with Sharina during our birth, “hiring Sharina as our doula was like flying first class. She was there to support all three of us when we needed it most!”
Our hope is that every birthing person will have the opportunity to find their Sharina!
