Rarely do you meet someone so helpful, smart, competent in their area, and good with people. She helped me in all the ways she could which I noticed right away and this didn't change throughout. She was full of good info in a digestible format and was so so patient with me. Again, in every way, she tried to go above and beyond and I appreciated so much the thoroughness and comfortable approachability she had towards me. She is full of good surprises and I am so grateful to have had her. She deserves the recognition and I hope other people will be able to enjoy such a helpful experience as I had. I sincerely wish that she gets to use her talents amply. There's a great need for people like her, especially in this crucial profession, but in the world in general.

Sarah was my back-up doula when I had a family emergency and couldn't be with my clients. She provided reassurance and hands on help in a tricky situation. She is thorough in her care, leaving families well-equipped to handle challenges. Anyone would be lucky to have Sarah's kind and attentive support on their birth and postpartum journey!
