What students are saying about Evidence-Based Birth® Childbirth Classes:

"This class is a total gamechanger for us. I'd heard negative stories...I was scared and very on edge. Then, once we started taking the class, and when we learned  about interventions that I was apprehensive about... It brought us together in that [my partner] understood birth more, and I understood it more. And, as soon as I went into labor, we were on. We were a team."

"I really appreciated how informative it was. I knew a lot about the biology of birth and babies, but what we learned was just very impressive. It was a really good experience-fairly chill, fairly laid-back, and not nearly as stressful and awkward as I thought it might be.  All the information-I never would've thought there was that much information out there!"

"Sharon was a wonderful instructor. We thoroughly
enjoyed her energy and passion, and we feel that
we truly benefited from all of her expertise. She
always made us feel supported and she
encouraged us to share and discuss our feelings,
fears, anxieties, etc. throughout our 6 weeks
together."

Melissa M.

"We loved Sharon and wish she still worked in Delivery so she could be part of our birth team! She had
great energy and was caring and calming."

Alex M.

"The comfort measures were beneficial to me... My perspective has changed now that I have tools and resources to help me manage. I have a better idea of how I want my birth to look and my husband and I have communicated on how best to achieve it. My husband has obtained great information on advocacy so it is reassuring to know he can take charge of that while my primary focus is to be relaxed and maintain a positive mindset."
