Sasha was born to be a doula. No one cares more about creating the space for a positive birthing experience and advocating for her clients. Sasha can be both soft and also authoritative (when she needs to be) and cares so so much about her clients' needs. Her positivity radiates and she has a completely disarming quality to her personality that can put anyone at ease. I only wish that I'd had her for the birth of my first child too - I know it would have been a completely different experience with her there.  

I know first hand how important it is to have a positive birth experience and how much this short period affects the next few months of your (and your baby's) lives - having Sasha there to advocate will make all the difference in those beginning stages with your new baby.

Working with Sasha was an amazing experience from start to finish. I immediately felt at ease during our intro call and felt that she really listened to us and made sure to understand our priorities and needs. When the time came, she stood firmly on what we'd discussed and I really felt like she was speaking directly through me. It was comforting to know that I didn't have to worry about the doctors and could just focus on the birth, knowing Sasha would take care of making sure our needs were met.

When our baby came, Sasha was both respectful of our space but also felt like such an integral part of it - she was right there with us.

Thank you for everything!

The birth of our second child was one of the most transformative experiences of our lives, and having Sasha as our doula was a blessing. From the start, her positive energy and calm confidence reassured us. She didn’t just support us—she became an integral part of the journey, and we can’t imagine navigating it without her.

As a dad, I was nervous about my role, unsure how to help. Sasha completely changed that dynamic. She made me feel like part of a team, ensuring I was present and engaged in every moment. She gave me meaningful ways to support my partner and explained everything happening in real time, creating a strong sense of unity.

Sasha’s patience and ability to communicate were unmatched. She guided us through every decision, giving us just enough information to feel informed without overwhelming us. We wanted a natural birth, and while she couldn’t guarantee anything, Sasha ensured our goals were clear to everyone. She brought our plan into the room—not just as an idea, but as a living document everyone respected.

One moment stands out: during labor, the doctor and midwife suggested something that didn’t align with our birth plan. We were unsure how to respond, feeling vulnerable and tired. Sasha calmly stepped in, asking for a pause so we could discuss. She reminded the team of our preferences while helping us weigh the options. Because of her, we felt empowered to stick to our plan, leading to the outcome we had hoped for. Her advocacy meant everything to us.

Her thoughtfulness sets her apart. She’s become part of our family, and we’re so grateful to continue our relationship. Sasha helped make our birth everything we hoped for—and more. We can’t recommend her enough. Thank you again Sasha!

We had a wonderful experience working with Sasha! She was very thorough before labor, during and post partum.  We had multiple meetings (she can meet in person and virtually), to answer questions, go over expectations and birth plans (and help plan things for things I didn't even know would come up).  She was extremely responsive, resassuring and non judgemental to everything we talked about.  Sasha helped with laboring at home and in the hospital.  I believe my labor progressed as quickly as it did because of positions she recommended.  She was not only supportive of my mental and physcial well being, but also a great help to my partner. My labor progressed quickly and the medical team did not have enough time to explain what was happening to him, but Sasha was able to put him at ease. Sasha followed up after delivery checking in on all of us, admiring our little one, and making sure I had the appropriate resources needed to succeed with a newborn.  I can not recommed Sasha enough.  She is knowledgable, personable and really passionate about making your birth experience a positive one.
