This workshop exceeded my expectations. Sharon was an amazing teacher. Her workshop is packed with interactive activities that allow you to get to know your peers better. She has a great vibe and is so knowledgeable that makes asking questions easier. Loved how she incorporated games that helped retain all this amazing material. She even has quest speakers to give us more insight. Can't wait to start my Doula journey, Thank you Sharon for helping me get here.

Betty Rodriguez

I highly recommend Sharon Muza’s Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Lactation Support trainings. The information she provides is incredibly comprehensive and practical. I have taken doula training with another instructor before, and it didn’t cover even a fraction of the depth and quality of Sharon’s program. What makes Sharon exceptional is that she doesn’t just teach you how to become a doula—she teaches you how to become a successful professional. She shares real-life experience, effective communication skills, how to build trusting relationships with clients, and the important dos and don’ts that every doula should know. Sharon is knowledgeable, organized, professional, and always well-prepared. Her passion for teaching and her years of experience are evident in every class. I left her training feeling confident, well-equipped, and truly prepared to support families with compassion and professionalism. I am incredibly grateful to have learned from her and would wholeheartedly recommend her training to anyone pursuing a career as a doula.

Taja Vivens

I've wanted to become a doula for years, and I'm so happy I finally decided to go for it. Choosing Sharon's 4 week training was one of the best decisions I could have made. Every class was so interactive, informative, and honestly eye-opening. I genuinely looked forward to each session every week. Sharon has a way of making everyone feel comfortable asking questions, sharing experiences, and learning from one another. I walked away from every class feeling inspired and even more excited about becoming a doula. Sharon is incredibly knowledgeable, but she's also down-to-earth, encouraging, and truly passionate. You can tell she really cares about helping her students succeed. If you're thinking about becoming a doula, I can't recommend Sharon enough.

Always an informative and fun class with her. So much knowledge to take in but she breaks it down to digestible sections that are fun and engaging while providing all the facts. Recommend taking a course or several with her.

Cindy Savage

Sharon's Birth and Baby Your Way Class was a fantastic resource for us as we prepared to welcome our first baby. Sharon is a wonderful teacher and utilizes the virtual learning format very skillfully. We came out of each week having learned lots of new things in a very approachable way and we really appreciated being able to access the education and community safely as covid and other respiratory viruses continue to circulate. She prepared us for so many possible ways that our baby's birth could go that we felt very confident heading into the final stretch of pregnancy. Her knowledge and depth of experience were indispensable. Our only disappointment was that she was already booked for our due date and thus could not be our doula, too. I highly recommend Sharon's class to anyone expecting a baby!

I took Sharon Muza's Birth Doula Birth YOUR Way Workshop in Nov. '25. She is an incredible teacher and does a great job of educating on important information to become a great doula! I definitely appreciate her inclusivity, openness and care into her lesson plans.

Sharon is a well of knowledge and knows her stuff. She made our virtual class feel energetic and impactful—no small feat given our class was after work each day. Between her knowledge, ability to teach, and resources, we definitely feel like we got our money's worth and then some.

I took Sharon's Doula Class but these words are not limited to her as a teacher. Sharon not only is incredibly knowledgable and a fantastic teacher, you can just tell how passionate she is about her work. From tons of resources for her students and families, to a host of information to aid you every step of the way, Sharon is an excellent doula and an even better person. Thank you!!

Emily Roskey

We took Sharon's 4 hour birth class to refresh and prep for our second birth. It was interactive, fun, and informative. She is extremely knowledgable and approachable. I would definitely recommend this class! Thank you Sharon!

Megan Newman

I credit so much of my successful VBAC to Sharon. Her birth class was truly wonderful. She helped me see that I did want to labor again and that I had far more choices and control than I realized. She taught me how to slow down the pace of the hospital, ask questions, and advocate for myself—skills that made a huge difference during my birth. Sharon took the time to listen to my previous birth story and gently unpack what happened, helping me understand where things could have gone differently. Her encouragement meant so much, and she even helped me find an incredible doula team (Arise Doulas). Her teaching style is engaging and inclusive, using multiple learning approaches to keep the class fun and accessible. She also sent hands-on materials so we could practice positions and simulate labor in real time. I recommend her class to absolutely everyone—especially anyone hoping for a more empowered, informed, and supported birth.

Sharon came highly recommended by both our midwives and doula for our first birth, and we’re honestly so happy we took their referral. From the start, she made the experience so warm, informative, and fun. Her virtual four-hour class flew by because we were genuinely enjoying ourselves while learning so much. Even though it was online, it felt incredibly engaging and personal—she found ways to keep everyone involved and comfortable the whole time. We especially appreciated the resources she sent before and after the class—they were thoughtful, practical, and made us feel more confident and prepared for what’s ahead. Sharon has such a great energy and sense of humor that put us at ease and made learning about childbirth feel empowering instead of intimidating. We can’t recommend her enough!

Kaleigh Boyd

We were on the fence about doing a birthing class, but on a friend's recommendation, we signed up with Sharon. I'm so glad we did--it was so helpful, and I would highly recommend. Thanks Sharon!

Dominique Bishop

Sharon is down to earth and knowledgeable, and her workshop is informative, intensive, and worth every penny. Before the workshop I was a little nervous that I would battle with self-doubt as a new doula. During the workshop, I felt energized and confident with my decision to pursue this path. And now after finishing the Doula Your Way virtual workshop I have the foundation and am ready to take on clients as a doula, with the backing of great resources, a fantastic, supportive mentor and the community of my training cohort.

Sharon is a great professional, extremely well organized and knowledgeable. I was amazed at her knowledge of the female reproductive system and associated clinical and birthing/postnatal protocols, despite not being a professional nurse/midwife. Sharon displayed great emotional and cultural intelligence, and made the multicultural or diverse class livelier than I expected. Course pace was carefully structured to meet my individual speed, and I believe no matter how slow a learner anyone is, they`d flow through this course in seamless fashion. Sharon`s teaching content was structured in a way that makes learning friendly and super convenient. Plus, it doesn`t end after training, rather, Sharon spares an hour every week to provide needed advice and mentorship for trainees. This is priceless, Thank you, Sharon!

I learned so much during this training and felt supported every step of the way. I’m so grateful for this experience it’s left me feeling confident, prepared, and inspired to begin my doula journey.

I recently completed Sharon's birth doula training and her lactation support training. It was so informative and I was given tons of resources to refer back to after the training was over. Sharon is very inclusive, open to and encourages you to ask questions, as well as provides support well after the training ends. As a new doula, I really appreciate that I can reach out to her if I ever have any questions. I don't feel like I'm thrown to the wolves, needing to fend for myself! Highly recommended her for your doula training!

Leah Nguyen

I recently took the class, VBAC Your Way, and loved it. My husband thought it was so helpful as well. Before the class, I thought it would be long and uninteresting but I was wrong. I was engaged from start to finish. I really enjoyed the different scenarios Sharon had us practice on and the activities at the end where we had to learn how to cope with labor pain. I highly recommend this class. The the class is valuable and worth the cost. Sharon is passionate about her work and so knowledgeable. She is such a gem to our community. Thank you.

Hailey Bridge

Taking Sharon Muza’s Birth Doula Your Way workshop was a truly meaningful step in my development as a doula. Sharon creates a learning environment that is welcoming, insightful, and full of practical wisdom. Her teaching helped me expand my knowledge, gain more confidence in my skills, and most importantly—recognize my worth in this work. What I appreciated most was how she encouraged us to find our own path as doulas, rather than fitting into a single mold. The workshop gave me tools I could immediately apply, but also the deeper understanding that this work is just as much about who we are as how much we know. I left the training feeling more prepared, more grounded, and more connected to why I do this work. I would absolutely recommend Sharon’s class to anyone considering becoming a birth worker—it’s a valuable, affirming foundation for anyone stepping into this field.

McKenzie Riepen
