About Me
With a background in special education and a master’s degree in anthropology and education, I bring a unique blend of personal and professional experiences to my work as a postpartum doula. I have a passion for helping people, cultivated through various roles including as a special education teacher, service coordinator for children with disabilities, and as a Behavior Specialist Consultant. These experiences, as well as being a mother myself, shape my approach, allowing me to provide non-judgmental support that respects each family’s unique circumstances. My empathetic nature, attentive listening, and calm warmth create a safe and caring space for all my clients. Beyond my commitment to postpartum care, I enjoy spending time with my family and dog, traveling, cooking, reading, and creating.

Testimonials
“Hiring Sheri was one of the best decisions my husband and I made for postpartum. As new parents, Sheri brought so much knowledge that made us more confident as parents when we were on our own. Not only was she a baby whisperer to our son, but she provided great support with cooking, tidying up, and laundry following my c-section. We will definitely continue to use Sheri as we grow our family. “
– Stephanie
“For my second baby, I knew I needed more support. Sherilyn was critical to finding out rhythm in those first wild weeks: helping to ease infant tummy troubles, troubleshoot latch issues, and even sleep arrangements. Beyond that, Sherilyn kept me sane and cared for by allowing me to sleep and shower while she made sure I had healthy meals to eat. So glad we had her and could not recommend her calm, reassuring expertise enough.”
– Rachel
“Sheri was so instrumental as we came into our roles as new parents, and I recovered from childbirth. She gave us support in every way we would have needed it — from tips that actually helped our baby sleep, to preparing meals for me, and helping me learn how to use a breast pump for the first time. She also has a really kind and calming presence about her. Simply put, I couldn’t recommend her more!”
