"I found Sharon, and Yoga Birth and Beyond, when I read
about HypnoBirthing. I thought it might be something to try and wanted to make sure Sharon “was my person”, so I signed up
for prenatal yoga at the beginning of my second trimester. Sharon is very experienced and very professional in her teachings.
As I learned about the birthing process and figured out my own plan, Sharon helped in so many ways, including helping me find
a midwife who really suited my needs, a hospital were I could feel respected and safe, and finding my own passion and enthusiasm
for giving birth to my daughter. To say Sharon changed the course of my birth experience would not be an understatement. Nor
would saying she has changed the course of my life. From prenatal yoga through Itsy Bitsy Yoga I can recommend Sharon to any
pregnant mother in Northern Virginia!"

"I am forever grateful to Sharon. The information in her classes was invaluable to me. If it weren’t
for Sharon, I would not have had the amazing birth experience that I did. Through her Prenatal Yoga classes, I learned about
birthing options and choices that I had not considered before. This helped my husband and I make the choices that were right
for us. In HypnoBirthing she taught many techniques for laboring and birthing. I liked the relaxation and breathing techniques
and found them to be very helpful. I was not afraid and I felt empowered. Information is power. She gave us so much good information
on things I could do to prepare for my baby’s birth, how to have a more comfortable birth, and information for after the birth
of my son (such as breastfeeding help and techniques to calm a crying baby). Sharon was a warm, caring person in my life.
She made a real difference and I would highly recommend her classes."

"As a first-time mom wishing to have a natural birth I couldn’t have wished for anything better than
Sharon Stevenson’s HypnoBirthing class. The HypnoBirthing program is full of relaxing and confident-building techniques that
give you an “arsenal” of tools to choose from when preparing for and giving birth. Sharon, as a HypnoBirthing teacher, is
an amazing resource. With her impressive list of credentials (mother of two, birth doula, yoga/infant massage instructor,
etc) she is knowledgeable about local practices, hospital policies, and can provide advice and information ranging from midwives
to exercise to breast feeding and beyond! Sharon really cares about her students, and believes deeply in the natural birth
process. Her passion and knowledge combines with the HypnoBirthing program is idyllic for assisting couples who wish to have
a natural birth. My husband and I (and our happy, mellow baby!) recommend her class whole-heartedly!!"

"We
were lucky to have Sharon’s compassionate teaching as we prepared for the birth of our son. Her prenatal yoga class was a
fun and soothing complement to HypnoBirthing and became the highlight of my week in the last months of my pregnancy. Thank
you, Sharon for easing our journey to parenthood."
