Empowering Birth
Sharon is not taking clients nor teaching birth classes at this time. Apologies. You can find other great options at Ann Arbor Birth & Family, Nest and Nurture, Kristen Schell, Katy Gladwin, and Wrapped in Love.
Giving birth has potential to be a beautiful, empowering, and positive experience. Empowering Birth LLC is here to equip you with the knowledge and support necessary to navigate your birth journey with confidence.
My name is Sharon Quinn and I’m a DONA Certified Birth Doula and in the past from 2013-2026 I was a certified birth instructor, first through the Bradley Method, then through Evidence Based Birth®. I have recently let my EBB certification expire as I’m now occupied with working to make systemic change in maternal health through the Region 9 Perinatal Quality Collaborative. Kristen Schell, linked above, is an excellent instructor in the area that teachers the EBB classes.
I am located right between Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor, minutes away from both Trinity Hospital in Ypsilanti, and The University of Michigan / Michigan Medicine’s Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital in Ann Arbor. I serve Washtenaw County and the surrounding areas.
We had a great experience with Sharon, both as an instructor and as a doula. We were really grateful for the birth classes–they helped us both to know what to expect and to prepare to handle it. I know my husband would not have known how to be a support to me without them. As for the birth, we definitely could not have done it without Sharon. It was a long, hard labor, and she gave us the strength and support to make it through.
