Sabrina Sheehan McIntyre's expertise is in new media outreach.
Sabrina’s path to reach-and-teach as many Moms and Moms-To-Be as possible through a her role as a Director on the International Cesarean Awareness Network of Northern Virginia and her involvement with the promotion of the documentary film, “The Business of Being Born.” As part of a volunteer grassroots effort for the movie makers, Sabrina led two sold out screenings in her home state by using traditional and online media generated more than a dozen media hits including, several local publications, two national outlets and one syndicated radio talk show. This brought the movie's facebook group, created and managed by Sabrina, to a level of recognition which then became the official group of the movie with the producers, director and stars getting involved and adding to content and outreach. Sabrina then took on the outreach for the Big Push for Midwives and created the facebook main page and causes pages which have generated more than 22,000 members and raised thousands of dollars in rapid time.
Sabrina leverages her passion and growing network and is somewhat like the famous 1979 movie character, “Norma Rae Webster.” Like Norma Rae, Sabrina is a small town southern girl who gets involved in the labor movement and helps make dramatic changes all around her … only this time the changes are at the frontier of the maternity care crisis and the safety of all women in labor!
Sabrina was a flight attendand for TWA and United Airlines before becoming a full time stay-at-home mom/birth activist. Sabrina has first hand experience with both medically managed birth and a CPM attended home birth. She has also founded the blogsite MomsRoots to add to her outreach.
