Hi, I'm Shara. I've been with MaternityWise Institute since 2016 as a certified labor doula. I'm also a seasoned yoga and prenatal yoga instructor, which was key in the growth of my doula business. I've completed training workshops in Bengkung Belly Binding, Prenatal Massage, and The Yoga Birth Method.

I'm also an Army Spouse, mother of two wonderful boys, presently living in the High Desert region of SoCal. We are enjoying being close to the mountains for hiking and snowboarding again. I spent the previous 6 years in Hawaii (one of Anne's favorite spots) and call it "home" because its the longest I've lived anywhere since I was a child. Other than HI and CA, I've lived in NY, VA, NC, GA, and relocate about every 3 years.

During my time in HI, I met so many birth workers with differing backgrounds but found myself naturally drawn and connected to those who've trained through MaternityWise. I'm honored and beyond excited to start my next journey as a doula trainer with MWI.
