I attended Sharon's doula training and was really impressed with the content and her facilitation. She brought in highly trained and knowledgeable guest speakers and gave us a lot of time to process and discuss our new learnings. Would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to be a doula.

Sharon is a superhero in my book!!! A wonderful class and such a great teacher!(Doula)

It is really wonderful to have an instructor like Sharon, someone who knows their stuff and is genuinely passionate. We really appreciated how engaging and fun her class was, that is a feat to do on Zoom! We are so thankful our midwife pointed us in Sharon's direction, I know the whole process toward becoming parents was greatly enriched because of her experience and passion. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Sharon!

Sharon's childbirth course took us through diverse labor and delivery concepts that we would not have covered without her BBYW course (birth positions, cpr, child seat safety, post baby delivery care, breastfeeding, medical decision-making). My partner and I looked forward to spending 2.5 hours each week with her, and felt more prepared for our first birth after every session. Sharon has incredible bedside manner, is extremely knowledgeable and imparts her technical knowledge in an impartial, judgement-free environment. She encourages students to come together to learn and enter parent hood as a community (whatsapp groups, online video collaboration) and truly cares for each and every one of her course participants. We are truly indebted to her for imparting her knowledge/wisdom on us, and feel empowered to deliver in a way that is tailored to our own preferences and who we are. Thank you Sharon for all that you do - you are a gift to the parenting community in Seattle!

We took Sharon's 8-week birth course and LOVED it. Sharon is so knowledgable and we appreciated her unbiased perspectives. The course is informative and leverages a fun and playful format to teach important concepts and make them more memorable. Sharon is so passionate about child birth and her students. We feel much better prepared after taking her course. Thanks Sharon!

Sharon's class helped me feel more prepared going into this birth with understanding the different elements of labor progression, how to ask questions to get information and advocate for myself, understanding recommended birth practices, and practicing pain management and comfort measures. I highly recommend her classes as a holistic way to prepare for childbirth!

I am very glad I took her birthing and baby course. I learned pretty much everything: coping skills for giving birth, all the options and possibilities while giving birth, breast feeding tips and tricks, what to expect with newborn, cpr and baby safety and more. After I gave birth the nurses at the hospital complimented me and said I did not seem like a first time mom because of how much knowledge I had and how successful I was in getting a proper latch while breastfeeding. I honestly owe it all to this course. I highly recommend families participate in her courses because once baby is born.. it's game time and boy am I glad I was better prepared ahead of time! There were a lot of families that took the course and we have a group chat where we communicate about how pregnancy is going and we share our birthing stories and experiences. Having this community feels like a warm hug because pregnancy can be lonely at times and having a whole group of people to talk to is helpful. That is another aspect of the class I really liked.

I was lucky enough to take my doula certification class with Sharon. She is so knowledgeable and provides clear concise information. I recently took another class on lactation with Sharon that once again was effective, informative and engaging. I look forward to more classes.

Sharon's birth doula training workshop was so thorough, and importantly, fun and engaging! After starting as a postpartum doula, this was the additional training I needed to also offer birth doula support to families in my community. I'm excited to get started, and grateful to have Sharon's ongoing mentorship that she provides to all her students.

Sharon's birthing class was incredible! It was very educational and helped improve our understanding and confidence going into child birth! I would highly recommend taking any of Sharon's classes. She makes learning very fun and does a great job of keeping everyone engaged.

This class is imperative to anyone who’s Brest/chest feeding or assisting! I feel more confident & comfortable, which is invaluable. Thank you Sharon!

Sharon is a great teacher, mentor, and person. After twenty years of wanting to achieve a personal goal, she helped me to do so. Taking her doula course was the best thing I have ever done for myself. She continues to cheer me on from the sidelines and offers her knowledge and sound advice whenever I feel like I’m unsure of my abilities. Taking any course from her is well worth it. I would recommend her courses to any and all. Very inclusive and she leads with both brilliance and kindness. Thank you, Sharon!

Sharon's class is a must! Take this if you want to feel empowered, informed and confident about your labor and delivery. I learned so much in digestible bits and in a fun format. Sharon has an incredible wealth of knowledge and resources, and goes above and beyond to build confidence and prepare families - preparing them to have many decisions in the L&D process. I also appreciated Sharon's thoughtfulness and with words she used in class to make the classroom an inviting, inclusive and safe environment that encouraged openness.

Sharon’s class was very helpful in preparing to welcome my baby to the world. She’s clearly very knowledgeable and uses inclusive and welcoming language 🏳️‍🌈

Her class was so informative and Sharon is great about answering all questions! We thought we knew a lot about having a baby going in but this was definitely worth the time and money - I feel much more confident going into having our first child!

Sharon has a wealth of knowledge that she shares during her interactive workshop. The use of Google classroom was great for the real life examples for a Birth Doula. Highly recommend.

My husband and I are so grateful that we found Sharon! Her childbirth class was so engaging and full of helpful information and resources. We feel so much more prepared, all from the comfort of our living room! We cannot recommend Sharon and her classes enough!

My husband and I took both the lactation and birthing class that Sharon offers. We were laughing while getting educated, so that’s always a good sign! We learned what questions we had (since we went into it with minimal knowledge of what we didn’t know) and felt empowered leaving both classes. Sharon never made us feel like there were any dumb questions and we felt very comfortable through both classes. They were interactive and memorable! We would highly recommend Sharon to any parents hoping to gain a few pearls before their baby arrives. She also shared a ton of resources and useful apps at the end of each class. Thank you, Sharon!

Sharon is a total treasure and has had a huge positive impact on my pregnancy journey as I prepare to welcome my first child into the world. Sharon's childbirth education classes are top-notch, not just because they are informative, interactive, and engaging, but because they are EMPOWERING. Her real-talk honesty and tough-love support were exactly what my partner and I needed as we neared our due date. We opted for Sharon's private classes since we couldn't make any of her group class times work. We chose Labor Your Way + After Birth Your Way and both were content dense, delivered in digestible ways, and 100% worth the money. She had stellar curriculum and activities prepared and she also adapted to our needs and questions in real time so that we could focus on the things we were most interested in and concerned about. Sharon is clearly a seasoned pro, I am convinced she is the queen mother of Seattle area childbirth educators. Big thanks, Sharon. Jay and I are fans for life 💕

Thank you Sharon for your intelligent teaching expertise. With your passionate guidance and creative teaching style, you have helped so many students become compassionate doulas. Your calming and nurturing presence provided guidance, and a wealth of knowledge on childbirth and pre and postnatal care. Thank you for your awesome class and giving me the tools to develop into a confident and capable doula.

Sharon's class is super engaging even though it's virtual. It helped us learn to advocate for ourselves as well as still remaining open to the unexpected. We felt really prepared during the birth of our child thanks to Sharon.

I took Sharon’s 4 day workshop and had a wonderfully knowledgeable time. The amount of material Sharon covered is amazing , and I was able to be in the comfort of my own home, with my microphone on mute until I needed to speak,and I still felt like I learned just as much virtually as I would have in person. My course fee even included another workshop I NEEDED in order for it to count as part of my Doula certification through Dona international standards. Sharon sent my supplies I needed right to my home address and gifted me not only those resources, but a plethora of cataloged digital resources to reference back to whenever I need and introduced special guest speakers during our workshop, that we may contact at any time with any questions. If you’re thinking about taking ANY course with Sharon, RUN— don’t just walk towards the opportunity!!

We had an excellent experience with our birth class!

Before choosing Sharon Muza's birth doula workshop, I'd researched thoroughly to find an instructor I felt could provide me with the knowledge I'd need to move forward on my own and be successful as a birth doula. I was determined to find someone who was open minded, inclusive of all individuals, a strong role model, experienced, and someone who could convey clearly and candidly what being a birth doula looks like. I'm so grateful I decided on Sharon! Her ability to make you laugh while stretching you, teaching you, supporting you, enlightening you and building confidence within you, is an art. Her birth doula workshop will also set you up for DONA certification which is awesome! I wholeheartedly recommend Sharon for any course, workshop, or class she offers. She will empower you and she will make you laugh!! Enjoy!

Had the best time learning with Sharon in a CEP workshop! She has so much to share and brings a lot of experience and tips to the table! I finished the workshop full of ideas and really excited to start teaching! 100% recommend!

Training with Sharon was incredible! She has such a creative mind plus knowledge and that is why learning from her is so special.

We are so grateful for Sharon and her childbirth course. My husband and I have said countless times that Sharon is the most gifted online educator we’ve ever had. We were totally engaged each and every session, all 2.5 hours, with no breaks! We were able to recall so many parts of the course at times when we needed key information during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. We’d recommend this course to everyone we know having kids!

Brilliantly conducted class. Very informative and easy to understand. Provided both a great overview of what to expect and a deeper dive into how to prepare, what to focus on, and how to empower yourself (you: pregnant and you: partner). Along with excellent anatomical explanations and demonstrations. All from the comfort of our home. Really really well done. Thank you, Sharon. So grateful.

Sharon is a masterful educator and a treasure to the birth community. Her birth knowledge and experience are vast. Her teaching is evidence based and comprehensive- while also being remarkably entertaining. She is truly gifted and was born to do this work.

I took Sharon's virtual doula workshop, and I could not recommend the experience enough for anyone interested in doula work. Sharon managed to keep me engaged in the material throughout the workshop by using both evidenced-based research and her real-life experience as a doula. There were actually times where I wished class lasted longer because I was enjoying the content she presented so much, which is rare for online workshops where I feel like distractions are everywhere. Sharon is respectful of all people and experiences, and I always felt that my questions were answered appropriately and all feedback was valued. Overall, I am tremendously thankful to have gotten the opportunity to learn from Sharon, and her impact will continue to follow me throughout my career!

Wonderful experience! My husband and I feel much more confident and prepared to tackle challenges that come with the prenatal and postnatal experience. (And the section on infant safety!). I highly recommend her birthing class to anyone who wants to learn more and feel empowered to make informed decisions.

I very much enjoyed Sharon's class, I think she came with a lot of wonderful information. She did a lot of breakout sessions with other students so that we can learn together, we did lots of role-playing which was very helpful. Whether you have been doing work in Doula, or it's your first go-around I would definitely recommend taking classes with Sharon!

Just finished taking Sharon’s doula class and she honestly is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. She was very informative and understanding. Would highly recommend taking her class!

My husband and I had such a great experience with Sharon's childbirth class! We were so impressed with her ability to make an online class engaging, fun and informative. We learned so much more than we anticipated. The material was educational and evidence-based and I loved that she provided a ton of resources after each class for additional information. I especially appreciated her focus on empowering us to advocate for ourselves. I would highly recommend Sharon's course to any expecting parents looking for an engaging class with in-depth and trustworthy information to prepare them for labor and birth.

I wish I learned about Sharon's birth class before my first birth! This time around, I feel so much more prepared and educated to be able to advocate for myself. I found the class to be very informative about my rights for an in-hospital birth, pain coping mechanisms, techniques to work on with the baby during and before labor to help them get into optimal position, working with your birthing partner and more. I am grateful for Sharon's approach in teaching these lessons and the confidence she helps to instill in the laboring person. Sharon, thank you for taking the time to help empower so many families to have the birth experience they envision! I will be recommending this course to every family I know.

My wife and I took Sharon’s class to prepare for birth. It helped us be equipped for a smooth, uncomplicated birth experience that we were both highly satisfied with. Sharon even helped us find a great Doula to support us in the process.

Shannon was an awesome instructor. She kept the classes fun and informative. I was a little hesitant to do classes as a lesbian couple, but always felt super comfortable and included. Very much recommend. So many things we didn’t know we didn’t know.

Sharon was an incredible instructor- both in engaging us online and in providing an empowering, supportive and thoughtful environment for learning. She created a space that not only made learning comfortable, she left me feeling empowered and ready for whatever comes my way! I am grateful I took her course and will suggest her to anyone looking for a birth class or professional to support their birth! Thank you, Sharon!!

Sharon was a dream of an instructor. All the information that she had provided during my Birth Doula workshop was supported by research and in depth lived experience. I would highly recommend Sharon's course to anyone looking to advance your knowledge in the doula field.

I took the Birth Doula class with Sharon in September of this year. She presented the most incredible, thorough and in depth class and warmly offered her help wherever she could. Even after the class had ended, she has been quick to answer questions and assist with referrals. After taking this course with her, I feel confident and ready to start my doula journey! Thank you so much Sharon! I hope I can take another class from you in the future.

Sharon’s class is a must for first time parents! The perfect blend of information and fun Sharon’s class gave me and my partner the confidence and knowledge to advocate for the birth experience we wanted! I’ve been in many trainings over Zoom and was skeptical about the length of each session remaining engaging, but Sharon is one of the best educators I’ve ever seen! Breaking class up into different activities, small groups and guest speakers kept class really interesting!

I highly recommend taking Sharon's Birth & Baby Your Way class. She presents a lot of information in an engaging way - it's definitely geared toward those who want to be more hands-on and interactive with their learning. I felt the class leans toward unmedicated birth with minimal interventions (which is what I wanted), but Sharon does a good job of preparing you for all potential interventions/complications and equips you to make educated decisions. I gave birth in a large hospital where the care is more clinical than personal, but I was able to advocate for my birth preferences since I knew the pros/cons of the recommended interventions. Sharon even had a class activity where we practiced disagreeing with a care provider's recommendation; this was eye-opening for me as I tend to avoid conflict and follow authority. I think if I had not been prepared for all these possibilities in advance, I would have easily gone along with the care team's recommendations and would not have felt any control over my birth experience. The birthing course is definitely more in-depth than many other options, but I think it's perfect for those who want thorough preparation and education about their upcoming birthing experience.

Sharon was a breath of fresh air to us! Especially with all the information out there - she was immensely helpful in sorting through all the resources and data around preparing for birth and does so without judgment! We really enjoyed all the different application and tools during the sessions to help with improved retention as well.

Sharon was fantastic and really helped us to navigate pregnancy and to be prepared for the birthing process. Her class is super informative and Sharon brings a lot of energy to make it fun. We highly recommend for new parents to be!

Sharon’s classes empowered me to have the confidence and knowledge to birth my baby. Throughout the course my partner and I learned so much with the evidence/science/data based material and personal experience shared by Sharon. We were able to practice different exercises, positions, situations, and use our BRAIN to prepare for birth. The classes helped me to create a comprehensive birth plan accounting for different circumstances, allowing for flexibility and space to obtain the best care for me and my baby.

Sharon's workshop is AMAZING! I attended this workshop from France, she made it so easy to understand (I am french) and to follow (even when it was 2am for me!) I'm really looking forward to attend her other workshops!

Sharon is the best of the best, confident, caring, entertaining and informative.

My husband and I decided to take Sharon’s “Labor Your Way” class to help us prepare for the birth of our second child- our first was born during the lockdown and we wanted the experience of a birthing class, but didn’t quite need the full 8-week series. This 4-hour class was perfect- we learned a ton, had some fun, and walked away feeling much better prepared for this birth. We can’t wait to welcome our new little one, and feel extremely empowered and excited for a a better labor and birth experience this time around!

Sharon's training is amazing and empowering. We found every single minute very helpful and applicable. We also had a very positive birth experience and VBAC. Highly recommend if anyone is planning to VBAC - I have not had postpartum depression unlike last time, able to nurse, and have so much more energy this time. Could not have done it without Sharon and the team at UW Northwest.

Great mentor, very valuable to the industry! She exceeds the expectations, and truly cares about the well being of all souls. Would choose her mentorship 100 times over!
