Evidence Based Birth® is committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for pregnant persons of any age, religion, race, sexual identity, gender identity, or relationship status.

Also, I offer one scholarship for 50% off tuition each session. Students can choose the basic or deluxe package to discount, and are eligible by either self identifying as 1. Low income, and/or 2. BIPOC. As long as there are racial disparities in maternal care, I'll continue to be especially passionate about the latter eligibility, and will work to find ways to increase accessibility to EBB classes for parents who identify to be from a group historically marginalized. Contact Sharon at [email protected] to check on scholarship availability.

1 Ticket covers both the pregnant person and a partner.

Basic Package for $325: The entire 6 week Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class, 3 months access to the online learning material, and mentorship from Sharon.

Deluxe Package for $345: The entire 6 week Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Class, 6 months access to the online learning material, mentorship from Sharon, and a hard copy of the workbook sent directly to your home.

*Cost doesn't include Eventbrite purchase fee. Refunds are given only if the class needs to be canceled, or if you experience a pregnancy loss before the session has begun.
