Meet Your ProDoula
Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: As a mom of 4 grown children, I experienced new mom exhaustion, sleep deprivation, postpartum depression and anxiety, isolation, and a lack of support. I learned that every newborn is a unique little one but by baby number three, I figured it out.
What led you to become a Doula?: I created Om Baby because I struggled as a new mother and didn't want to see other parents go through the same thing.. For over thirty years my new parent friends have asked me for my help and advice...so I decided to formalize this work and become a postpartum doula, new parent educator, infant sleep consultant, and an newborn care specialist.... that's how my true life's work began. I believe that preparation, science based information, and skills are so important for the 'Womb to World' new families journey!
What are some positive comments made about you by other people?:
Adrian Porto, Dad
Sheri has done a terrific job for my wife and I. We’re 11 weeks in and our baby girl has been sleeping 8-9 hours a night! She cares about our issues and is very responsive. She has a ton of knowledge and experience, so no problem is too great. We learned a ton about our baby and the process. Our only regret is that we didn’t book her longer. I don’t know how we could have done it without her!

Sheri has been my guardian angel through pregnancy and postpartum. She’s been my emotional support system, guided me through sleeping, feeding, soothing my baby. She helped me with my nursery essentials, found me night help, and truly educated me about all things baby. I don’t know how I would survive without her! Highly recommend!
We searched extensively for a doula. It was important for us to work with someone with solid experience and who carried a presence that would calm our nerves and empower us. At our first consultation, we knew Sheri was the right fit for us. She has years of personal and professional experience, with a solid understanding of the neuroscience of infant development and the parent/child dyad. As a pediatric neuropsychologist, I am so impressed by her. Sh is so informative and she communicates her knowledge in such a way that it’s easily digestible. Even our OB was impressed by how much we knew already as first time parents, and it’s all thanks to her! We plan to recommend Sheri to all our friends and family!
