Sharon's personal experiences of birth have helped
her most in offering assistance to birthing couples.
She is a VBAC mother herself - which is what led her to this work.
Sharon offers sessions based on informed choice, addressing previous
birth issues (if appropriate)
and ways to prepare postively for birth.
She also offers private sessions and can provide birth support.
Sharon is a nurse with 20 years experience, a Breastfeeding Counsellor
who has been involved in counseling women for over 8 years and believes
in being at one with birthing women.
