About
Navigating Postpartum offers an online postpartum preparedness program as well as a range of in-person services from home prep and postpartum planning to postpartum doula services, Mother Roasting, family photos, and parent & infant massage classes. Shari is CPR, AED and First Aid Certified for adults and infants through the American Red Cross and volunteers as a local coordinator for Postpartum Support International.
Doula Philosophy
I believe in supporting the whole family, and that skin-to-skin and loving care are essential. I provide families with evidence-based information and resources so they can make their own informed choices, and also offer tools such as books, cloth diapers, and baby carriers/wraps for parents to check out or practice with upon request.
