I cannot recommend Sarah enough! We decided to hire a doula for the birth of our third child. I had difficult deliveries in the past and struggled to keep a good mindset. We wanted to try an unmedicated birth because of how my body reacts to medications, and we did it! We absolutely could not have done it without Sarah. I decided to hire Sarah around 34 weeks pregnant; she was so accepting and relaxed about it being so close. Then a week later, I was diagnosed with a condition that forced me to be induced before 38 weeks. Sarah offered many natural approaches to get my body prepared for labor. Considering I went full term with the first 2 pregnancies, I know her advise helped- there was no way my body would’ve been ready and handled the induction so well otherwise.

During labor, Sarah set up candles and lights and played my favorite calming music. She set up an essential oiler diffuser.  We went for walks around the hospital, she taught me how to breathe through  and lean into each contraction. She encouraged my husband to be involved, which really helped me stay calm and focused and feel safe during the whole thing.  

Her directions and encouragements were always proactive and helpful. Her tone was direct yet supportive and loving. I knew she was there to be my advocate. It was very evident that she wanted what was best for me and my baby!

As things got more challenging throughout the labor and pain increased, she remained a steady constant. My husband was in pain watching me in pain. I almost fainted multiple times... Sarah remained confident and grounded the entire time.

Her faith and bright personality are exactly what we needed. We had great conversations and made fun connections throughout the whole process. I cannot emphasize enough how much of a blessing Sarah was to my labor and delivery. I will absolutely be hiring her for all future labors and highly recommend her to everyone! Worth every penny!

I would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone and everyone that is going to have a baby. My husband and I started working with Sarah when we were 10 weeks pregnant. The bond I grew with Sarah over the course of my pregnancy was exactly what I was looking for when I originally thought about having a doula. Sarah was always there to answer any questions I had, and she is very knowledgeable. You can tell Sarah loves what she does. She was truly amazing and the best support my husband and I needed when it came to the delivery. Thank you so much!

I knew I wanted to hire Sarah as my doula the moment I met her. She is so sweet and she listened to all my fears I had about labor and birth, and gave informed answers to all my questions. Before I even hired her, she was giving me helpful tips and sending podcasts and videos about topics I had expressed concern about.              
By the second time I met with Sarah, I felt like we had known each other forever and that I could talk with her about anything!
During labor, Sarah set up the birth space with lights, posted positive scripture affirmations around the room, started up the essential oil diffuser, and played the most serene music on her portable speaker. It really felt like an oasis!                 Sarah was by my side for at least 17 hours, from 10am that morning until the wee hours of the next morning; she even came with me to the hospital when I ended up needing stitches. She held my hand through many contractions and offered helpful tips on different things to try. My baby was malpositioned, so we had many hours of moving around and trying different positions and methods to get baby to move. She stayed positive the whole time and offered encouragement when I felt like I could not go on.               Postpartum, she made sure I was adjusting well and continued to offer encouragement and support.     Sarah made my home birth experience so much better than I thought it was going to be, and turned my negative view on birth completely in the opposite direction. I don’t even want to imagine what my labor and birth would have been like without a doula! Or maybe I was just very blessed to have found this one in a million kind of person who made such a huge impact on my birth experience….and on my life! If I ever get pregnant again, there is no doubt in my mind that I would hire Sarah again in a heartbeat!

Sarah is so compassionate and always trying to actively help you at all times.  She always made me feel heard and understood.  The birth experience both times she helped me made me feel like I was at a spa!  I will definitely have her again if I have more babies!
