Working with Sharon was one of the best decisions we made during my pregnancy. From the very beginning, she provided thoughtful, evidence-based education that helped both me and my husband feel informed and prepared for labor and delivery. I really appreciated her emphasis on the science behind each stage of birth and her calm, grounded approach throughout the journey.
Sharon checked in regularly during pregnancy and early postpartum, and her steady presence became a source of comfort. During labor, which took many unexpected turns and required several interventions, Sharon was a grounding force. She helped us slow down in moments of intensity to process our options and make informed choices, allowing me to feel empowered even as my original birth plan shifted.
As labor progressed, Sharon seemed to know exactly what to do at every stage—introducing new tools for pain management and guiding my husband through hands-on support techniques, even when he was overwhelmed by seeing me in pain. Her calm demeanor truly set the tone in the delivery room.
When I ultimately had an unplanned c-section, Sharon stayed right by my side. While my husband was (adorably) swept up in the moment of meeting our son, Sharon made sure I didn’t miss out—capturing photos and videos, and running them back to me so I could feel present while on the operating table. That gift alone was priceless.
Afterward, when sharing our story, my husband told friends and family that at first he didn’t understand why we needed a doula—but after experiencing birth with Sharon by our side, he couldn’t imagine having done it without her. Neither can I. We are so deeply grateful for her support.
