- Hana K. (Vancouver, WA)

The information she provides in her classes are pure gold and made me and my husband feel empowered to take on such a big life event... I felt so prepared going into labor which was a huge relief and my husband knew how to coach me and be by my side through every step.

- Sydnee S. (Portland, OR)

As a former teacher, I found this really valuable... I also really appreciated how direct Sherilee was in giving the partners jobs and tasks to do for support during labor and birth... While my labor story had a few unexpected turns, I felt informed and capable to make decisions when I needed to.

- Sarah H. (Portland, OR)

The Baby Nest birth class is one of the best things my husband and I have done together... No matter how you birth your baby, Baby Nest believes all births are natural and you and your body know what to do and what is best for you family.

- Sarah M. (Portland, OR)

He finished the class feeling empowered and educated on how to support me during labor, and I left with a strong sense of confidence about my ability to navigate birth. It’s a bonding experience and Sherilee has a really strong teaching methodology that helps you to actually remember and recall what you learned.

- Zahra H.(Vancouver, WA)

I can confidently say I now feel prepared to face that transformation head on! I'd recommend this class to anyone looking for a proper and comprehensive guide for how to tackle their birth with confidence.

- Tom & Brittanya (Vancouver, WA)

As an expecting first time father I often felt as though there was more I could be doing to feel a part of the pregnancy... This class was the first time I felt a part of the 'team,' and I am so thankful we decided to take it.

- Krystal F. (Portland, OR)

I love how much she involves the partners and educates them on how they can help as well as focusing on the many needs and questions first time birthing people have. We feel so much more connected and prepared so we can have a peaceful birthing experience.

- Dena V. (Vancouver, WA)

My husband and I recently attended the Birth Dates class in person, and we were thoroughly impressed. The content was not only informative but also incredibly helpful as we prepare for labor together.

- Mallory J. (Portland, OR)

I definitely feel like it helped us prepare for labor and delivery and would recommend it to anyone planning to give birth soon, especially if you're planning a more natural birth.

- Colin B. (Vancouver, WA)

The Birth Dates course was excellent! It was a great opportunity to learn but also it my partner and I feel more connected in the pregnancy journey. Future dads out there, you'll be glad you took the class with your partner!

- David S. (Portland, OR)

Initially I thought I could learn everything I needed to know through books and YouTube videos, but I quickly realized that listening to anecdotes from Sherilee's experience as a doula gave me an additional level of understanding that I was missing.

- Hilda S. (Vancouver, WA)

Sherilee's teaching method added so much more depth to what we had read about labor and birth... It was also an amazing class for my husband because Sherilee prioritized educating both of us, rather than just the birthing parent.

- Jessica P. (Portland, OR)

I really wanted to have a natural unmedicated birth but was worried if I’d be able to do it. The Birth Date classes were truly so helpful in educating us on what to expect and preparing us for the birth of our daughter... I was able to utilize the labor positions and the breathing techniques learned in class to deliver my baby girl 100% unmedicated.

- Cameron W. (Vancouver, WA)

Coming into this as a new father I learned so much about different ways to support my wife during pregnancy & labor... I feel much more confident and comfortable with all of the tools and knowledge I gained.

- Wesley E.(Portland, OR)

The amount of evidence-based knowledge you gain is so valuable and has helped our family feel prepared for whatever comes our way... The guided activities were fun and brought us closer together during this precious time.

- Anna T. (Vancouver, WA)

The class was still SO beneficial to us even though we had already been through everything before... we can without a doubt say that the class helped us achieve the positive birth experience we were hoping for.

- Desirae R. (Portland, OR)

We had a great time taking this class. It made us, especially my husband, more confident in what he could do to help me through all the stages of birth. We also used most of The Baby nest products, and my wife swears by all of them. I highly recommend Baby Nest Birth Services classes and all their products. Thanks again to Sherilee for all her help.

- Sarah V. (Vancouver, WA)

Overall, both my husband and I were extremely impressed with the material in the class and the knowledge it was able to provide. In March, I was able to have the non-medicated birth I was hoping for, and my husband was able to provide the exact support I needed.

- Emmalie T. (Portland, OR)

I’m an RN and took “Labor and Delivery” in school but I still learned a ton. And it's fun! My husband and I walked away completely confident in our birth and as a mom I felt empowered to make the right decisions throughout labor. Our birth experience was wonderful and I know Sherilee's class had a huge part in that. I highly recommend her!

- Jeni Z. (Vancouver, WA)

The workshop made us feel so connected to each other and this whole process. After the 2 days we spent there, we left feeling like we have tools, we know how to handle situations as they come up, and we have a deeper understanding of how the birth happens. The processes we did in the workshop were well thought out, and really helped us to remember what we were learning.

- Rachel B. (Portland, OR)

My husband and I loved taking Sherilee's class! At first I wasn't sure exactly what route I wanted to take for my birth - but I was certain I wanted to educate myself as much as possible in a natural and partner inclusive method. Sherilee's class was exactly what I was looking for - it was very accepting, non-judgmental, and encouraging from beginning to end.
