Sam was absolutely wonderful! She prayed for our family, was supportive, calm, reassuring and knowledgeable. She gave opinion without ever pushing too hard and she was a huge reason why I can now look back on my birth with a sense of accomplishment. 

My birth story wasn't what I hoped for, 38 hours of labor is never something you anticipate. I went for over 26 hours at home on 3 hours of sleep because of intense back labor and I finally needed to transfer to the hospital. Sam was there coaching, helping, and affirming throughout the whole process and I could not have done as much of the work at home as I did without her. At the hospital she advocated, educated and cheered us on as I finally gave birth to Owen, our beautiful baby boy!!! 

She even came over afterwards to help us debrief about the birth and made me feel so much better about not completing my vision and dream of a home birth for Owen. The support, faith and love that we received from Sam was absolutely superb and I know the main reason I still gave birth vaginally was because of all that she did. Thank God for Sam! She truly was the angel and blessing that we needed!
