Sarah was an invaluable part of my birth experience for both of my babies.  She is exremely knowledgeable about birth, but also local hospitals - I birthed with her at NWH and UMass.  During my first birth, she kept me calm, gave my husband much needed breaks from physical support, made sure my wishes were respected and supported me in achieving my epidural-free birth.  For my second, very precipitous birth, Sarah was ready in the garage parking lot at 4am with a wheelchair to make sure I made it to the room before baby was born.  She is kind, generous, and will make you and your partner very comfortable.  My husband has become a HUGE supporter of everyone having a doula after working with Sarah, that's how valuable he found her.  Highly recommend!

Sarah was absolutely amazing! We weren't sure about hiring a doula at first but we attended a birthing class and learned a little about what they do. We were on the fence because of the cost but decided that it would be worth it to have the support. Sarah came highly recommended and hiring her was the best decision we could have made. She was so supportive and had such an amazing positive energy. Sarah is always happy to answer questions and address concerns before and after birth. She checked in periodically to see how I was doing even after having the baby. It was truly a wonderful experience and I am so grateful that she supported me through it.

Sarah was incredible. From the second we first spoke with her, we felt as if should would be a great fit for us. She was kind, patient, informative, supportive - all qualities that were a priority to us when looking for a doula. We would 1000% recommending hiring Sarah to assist bringing your sweet baby into the world.

When I first got pregnant I wasn't sure if I'd have a doula, but I'm so glad I did and that it was Sarah! Her calm energy and detailed knowledge helped both labor prep and the delivery itself. I ended up having quite a long and complicated labor and Sarah helped me and my husband navigate it by talking through options and questions to ask the medical team. It felt like having a good friend in the delivery room who happened to be knowledgeable with labor and delivery. Highly recommend!

Sarah was a pleasure to work with. She was there for us before, during and after birth, and she always listened to what I wanted as the birthing person. I knew from the start that I wanted to give birth in a hospital and would likely get an epidural, so I wasn't sure if I was going to find a doula who was supportive of that choice. Immediately after our intro video chat with Sarah, my husband and I knew she was "right" for us because of that support and advocacy for what WE wanted. In previous doula interviews, I felt like others were not a right fit because they wanted to steer me in other directions that suited their comfortability / preferred experience and Sarah never did that. She shared resources and information with me that helped inform choices we made about our birth plan, but she made it clear that I never had to preform for her and that it was about what I wanted as the birthing person. That made the choice easy for me. Sarah helped us create the birth plan that felt right for us, and when we had to diverge from it during labor due to some complications, she advocated for me to get exactly what I needed and didn't make me feel judged at all. Of course I appreciated all of the emotional/physical suport before, during and after labor, but to me that was the most important thing and the biggest reason I would recommend Sarah to any of my friends. I know Sarah would advocate for others who would make completely different choices than me, because her priority is to keep mom safe and supported. If you're wondering if she's helpful throughout the labor process the answer is yes to that too. She coached me through breathwork, used a warm compress to guide me, and literally held my legs up when I was exhausted at the end of hours of pushing. My husband and I are so grateful that we had Sarah in the room with us and would definitely recommend her services!

Sarah was an crucial part of my successful delivery in June 2022. When I was induced emergently Sarah was intrical in maintaining the integrity of my goals for labor and delivery and helping my wife and I navigate the uncertainty. Our daughter arrived safely and with little to no issue despite the odds against us - I know that this is in large part to the support, deep knowledge and investment of Sarahs efforts.

We had the pleasure of working with Sarah this spring and summer for the birth of our first baby. From the start, she was very responsive to all of our questions and took the time to make sure we felt prepared. We are especially appreciative of the time she spent supporting us via text and in person during a long Labor and delivery process. We would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a caring and dedicated doula!

I hired Sarah as my birth doula for my second child after I have had a really traumatic birth experience with my first son years back.
 Sarah was amazing! Sarah is very knowledgeable, she has lots of experience as a doula. 
We met a few times before baby arrived. She came in very prepared with a lot of knowledge to share, she answered all of my questions and made me feel sure I would have a much better experience this time around.
 The day my water broke, I called her in the middle of the night, she immediately responded, calmed me down first and then arrived at the hospital in no time. At the hospital her presence made me feel so safe. Sarah would make sure I was confortable enough at all times, she would not leave my side, not even for a little break.  I like that she has a lot of healthcare background and whenever a doctor would use medical terms, I had her there to translate everything to me in an easy way to understand. 
She knew I wanted a vaginal birth and she made sure all my wishes were heard. After long hours of pushing, I finally delivered my healthy baby boy. Sarah even took amazing pictures of us. Thank you Sarah for all your hard work! You are incredible!
