Mike and Sarah

Sarah was an exceptional Doula and we are so grateful for the help and guidance she offered before, during and after the birth of our new baby girl. We had a long labor and even had to go back to the hospital after being release and Sarah was there for us the whole time. She truly helped us have the birth we wanted. And was the support we both needed. She truly exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a doula. Look no further Sarah is hands down the best out there. Thank you again Sarah.

Sarah was such a helpful addition to my birth team. She was there for the duration of my grueling 44 hour labor. She met with us several times before the birth, so we felt very comfortable with her before labor began. One of the reasons I chose her was for her background as a yoga instructor. During one of our visits together before labor, it became evident to me that that skill was going to come in use more than I anticipated. She was clearly very comfortable speaking and supporting me verbally in a tone that was so calming and encouraging. The breath work she brought to my labor helped me tremendously to ground me and I am so grateful to have had her there from start to finish through all the unexpected hiccups of getting our baby earth-side. She came to visit us postpartum and brought so many helpful resources. Do not hesitate hiring Sarah as your Doula, you will not find a more supportive person for your birth team, no matter what kind of birth you are planning for.

Sarah was a terrific Doula and my wife and I are very grateful for the help and guidance she offered before, during, and after the birth of our newborn. My wife had a very long labor, and Sarah was present and supportive through the entire experience. If you are looking for a Doula I would highly recommend Sarah. I am confident that she will be a knowledgeable, positive and kind presence throughout your birthing experience.

Sarah was great to work with; I would highly recommened her.  She met with my wife and I twice prior to delivery to talk over things and go through examples of comfort techniques, which my wife found to be very useful.  Having her present on the delivery day was very helpful, and took a lot of stress off of my shoulders.  She did a great job helping my wife through the whole process.  She also did a follow up visit and stopped by our house to see how things were going for those first few weeks.  Overall, Sarah is a very caring person and has certainly found her calling!
