Shari's overall support helped me find a greater sense of confidence in my role as a mother. I met her when my baby was around 2 months old and as a new parent, I wish I had known about her and her services while I was still expecting. ~Jennifer M.

Whether you work with me virtually or in-person, I tailor our time together to the unique needs of your family and the resources/tools that would best support you. I also offer a wonderful lending library filled with pregnancy, postpartum & parenting books and babywearing options for my repeat in-person clients and discounts on my on-demand courses for all clients as a thank you for allowing me to be a part of your parenting journey.

Fees

I am now accepting several insurance options using the doula coverage. Please check with your insurance to be sure you have this before choosing an insurance booking. There is a $50 self-pay travel fee if you choose in-home visits for your insurance-covered care (I also have an office for sessions at no cost out of pocket with insurance coverage).
