The birth of your child will be the most
memorable day of your life. As you draw closer
to this powerful life-changing experience,
you may wonder……
- Are we truly informed about options in labor and birth?
- How will I react to the pain?
- Will we remember the skills we learned in our childbirth education classes?
- Will my labor nurse have enough time for me?
- How will my partner and I hold up under pressure?
- Will attention really be given to our birth wishes?
A Doula can ease the uncertainty….
Couples can find enormous reassurance with the assistance of a Doula, an experienced and trusted woman professionally trained to accompany you into childbirth.
As your personal source of information, support and non-medical comfort measures I am privately hired by you to give support in the company of your doctor/ midwife and other health care providers, at your hospital or home; before, during and after childbirth.
I have supported families in many area hospitals
including and not limited to Evanston, St. Francis,
Highland Park, Lake Forest and Northwest Community
hospitals in the suburbs, as well as
Prentice Women's, and Illinois Masonic hospitals
in Chicago. I also have
attended homebirths with a number of different
homebirth practices.

"I strive to help women to believe in themselves, trust their bodies, and become empowered through the process of childbirth, and, aid father's to participate in childbirth at the level they choose with greater confidence."

"After birthing my first two children with epidurals, I wanted this third birth to be different. Sharon first assisted me in establishing my birthing goals and then gave me the support and space I needed to reach those goals."
