Ann Arbor Birth & Family

Sharon's Evidence Based Birthing Courses were so empowering. Her passion and enthusiasm really makes them interesting and takes away any fear about labor and delivery. She is always cheerful and helpful. I highly recommend this 6 week class for all pregnant ladies who want a great experience!

Sharon was instrumental in achieving my dream birth experience. With a combination of unflagging optimism and an arsenal of evidence-based statistics, she helped build my confidence throughout my second pregnancy following a traumatic first birth. When we were stuck in triage for 80% of my labor, she turned the tiny intake room into a spa with a combination of tea lights and music. Her calm, supportive presence kept me relaxed and in control throughout my labor, and ultimately resulted in a safe, unmedicated birth that I've described to others as nothing short of magical. 48 hours later, I'm walking around virtually pain free and a true believer in the power of natural birth.

Sierra was a fantastic doula for the birth of our daughter.  She radiated calmness and warmth throughout the birth process, and was a great comfort to us.  She provided so much support, and felt like an ultra competent family member guiding us through my wife's labor.  She even took our favorite picture after our daughter was born.  We are very grateful for Sierra's compassionate assistance, and we highly recommend her.

My wife also attended several virtual prenatal yoga classes hosted by Lisa, and highly recommends her classes as well.  The support and guidance that she received was exceptional, and she is planning to continue to attend Lisa's postnatal classes.

My experience with Ann Arbor Birth & Family was amazing. Sierra was an awesome support as my husband and I welcomed our first child. After a long battle with infertility I found myself pregnant, overjoyed and overwhelmed. She helped me navigate my journey through pregnancy, birth, breast feeding and postpartum care. She has a special place in our hearts as do all the friendly faces and voices at Ann Arbor Birth & Family.

We hired Sierra to support our family when our daughter was born. The thing that impressed us the most was how professional she was. She was very communicative about her expectations of us and what we could expect of her during the pregnancy and birth. She was great at listening to what we were hoping for, while still presenting information to help us expand our understanding of what was possible. She supported us every step of the way, even through a long labor and into breastfeeding concerns. She made a fabulous referral to a lactation consultant when we reached a need for expertise that exceeded her doula training. We would highly recommend a doula in general for any family who is considering it, and Sierra Hildebrand is one of the best! She is professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate.
