Client Testimonials for Sarah Weatherbee
Marci Girard-Emerson
After an experience with depression prior to my pregnancy, I was searching for someone who could provide Placenta Encapsulation in hopes of preventing postpartum depression. I was referred to Sarah and Blue Moon Birth by Thank You Mama in St Petersburg. Sarah promptly responded to my inquiry, and as soon as I met her I felt comfortable by her warm and calm personality and impressed with her services and education. It helped that she is also a mother of 2. Sarah prepared a placenta smoothie right after delivery. I felt good after labor despite a post partum hemorrhage and also had much higher than expected iron levels, much to everyone’s surprise. But not mine as I am sure the smoothie helped! My husband and the delivery nurse even tried the smoothie and agreed it was delicious!
Sarah delivered my capsules and tincture in one day and also provided post partum doula services. The transition from pregnancy to first time motherhood can be daunting, and I felt fantastic the few first weeks after our baby Baird was born. I believe the capsules and additional support that she provided were a big part of that. Sarah is nurturing and supportive and a natural. She helped me feel like a natural, which allowed me to relax and enjoy the early moments with my baby Baird and new family when I normally wouldn’t have!

Sarah was amazing for both myself and my husband during my whole pregnancy and birth. We couldnt have found a better doula! She met with us multiple times before the birth and answered all our questions and supported our birth plan, was there to the end of the birth and is still following up with me and my baby. I would definately reccommend Sarah to anyone!!!! We absolutely loved her! She also did placenta encapsulation for me which is an awesome service too!!!! <3

We really appreciated Sarah being our Doula. She was very open to our needs. She made me and my husband feel confident with our birth. The knowledge that she had to offer plus the tenderness she brought to us made our birth such a great experience. I would highly recommend her to any mother to be. Also, she does really well with follow ups. I honestly feel like I have made a new friend. We loved her!
