Testimonials

I am so fortunate to have worked with so many wonderful families and witnessed beautiful birth experiences. Here are some words from some of the families I’ve worked with.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Sherraine! I had a lot of fears about labor and Sherraine helped me work through them in several ways: (1) by pointing me to available research; (2) by helping me realize the limits of research and get comfortable with the unknown; and (3) by spending significant time going over physical ways to ease discomfort during labor. I was in my third trimester of pregnancy when the coronavirus pandemic hit New York City. It was a scary and uncertain time in a lot of ways, and as we faced a constantly changing landscape of rules and circumstances, we were so grateful for Sherraine's reassuring expertise and calming presence. When we switched entirely to zoom services, Sherraine did not miss a beat. When I labored at home for 9 hours before going to the hospital, we relied entirely on the positions and pain management techniques that Sherraine had showed us. She was an indispensable part of our team and I would recommend her highly to anyone seeking a doula!

One of the things I loved most about Sherraine is that she is truly focused on making sure that you think about and plan for the experience that YOU want. She does not impose any particular viewpoint on you, but asks questions that help you consider the available options and prepare for the labor that you want to have. She is also very knowledgeable and responsive to questions and concerns. These qualities make her an excellent person to help guide and support any laboring person.

Sherraine was absolutely wonderful during our labor and birth experience. She joined us in our home at the end of our labor when my confidence was waning as a backup doula to our hired doula. She had never met me or my partner before, but when she arrived she knew just what to do to support us through the remainder of our homebirth. I have nothing but great things to say about Sherraine, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Doula support was crucial to help me and my partner get through our homebirth experience - providing physical, emotional, and mental support. Sherraine provided a comforting physical touch and massage during tough contractions, and her confidence made me feel secure during a vulnerable process.
