Testimonial for Sheri Zobrist
I don't even know where to begin. My appreciation for Sheri is so great. First, she took me on as a client late in my pregnancy after I had planned a home birth with a midwife but ended up being high risk and had to deliver at the hospital. I was due around Thanksgiving even but she did not hesitate.
She made me feel so safe in our initial meet up as I discussed my past deliveries and the traumas I had and the goals I had for this one. She checked in on me regularly and knew when I had appointments and reminded me things to discuss with my provider. During the delivery she helped me get into good positions that moved baby above and beyond what hospital staff usually recommend. She cheered me on, encouraged me and my husband. She brought LED candles, string lights and birth affirmations to create a beautiful birth space. She even French braided my hair for me when I expressed I had a friend do them when I initially was to come in but my induction was delayed and I no longer had.
After i delivered she held my hand as they stitched me for 45 minutes while my husband did skin to skin with baby and kept an eye on her. Sheri not only provided emotional and physical support but took pictures of the labor and delivery. She created a sweet video montage of it all. I did not get my homebirth but I did have a healing unmedicated hospital VBAC. I am so thankful for her support during my delivery.
