Sharon’s Birth Classes
In Ann Arbor, Michigan
Sharon is not actively seeking clients at this time and has allowed her Evidence Based Birth® certification to expire, as she’s now working to improve maternal health on a systemic level as Project Manager for the Region 9 Perinatal Quality Collaborative.
Sharon’s passion for birth is contagious, which is just what this nervous first-time parent needed. My partner and I were well-equipped to navigate our birth options, resulting in a very positive — even exciting! — birth experience, including high-fives and chocolate cake. Talk about an empowering, memorable life event!
I was highly skeptical of the need for birth education–the body knows what to do, right? Sharon effortlessly disabused me of that fallacy. By the end of her class, not only was I able to be a pillar of support for my wife in childbirth, I felt like I was an intimate part of the process. We brought our kids into the world as a team. I cannot fathom having done it any other way.
