Sarah reached out to me when I first started attending appointments at The Birthing Inn in my third trimester to see if Doula services were needed. I was hesitant just because this was my first pregnancy and I wasn't sure if I needed one. I was 35, almost 36 weeks and decided I wanted a doula and Sarah made it happen last minute for me. She has been the most supportive and kind doula there is! She checked in on me daily during my pregnancy and picked me up to take me to the birth center when I was in labor. At our sons birth she was right by my side and went above and beyond to help my husband and I with everything we needed. If you're looking for the best doula look no further!

Sarah is an amazing doula. Initiallly, we expected to only have her for postpartum support. Due to another birth happening at the same time as ours, she was at our birth as well. She supported me with encouragement and helped our bith along by challenging me with different positions. She coached my husband on how he could support me during labor and also tried to support him by ensuring he was eating, drinking, and taking a walk if he felt queezy at all. 

Postpartum, she made herself available to me via text or call anytime to talk through my postpartum anxiety, depression, and rage -- all of which I had to some degree. Having someone to call and normalize everything I was feeling was so key to my PP recovery. She came to our house to check in, which helped my anxiety a ton.

My favorite part about Sarah is how real she is. She doesn't sugar coat anything -- she will tell you how it is. But she will still make you feel confident that you can get through it, what your feeling is normal, and you are not alone. Sarah is amazing and we were so blessed to have her on this journey.

My experience with Sarah was the best! When we first met we knew we loved her. We started bonding right away, she was a such a blessing in our paths. She was there with us through the whole pregnancy all the way to contractions, how to time them, and called us during our labor at home, to having our baby. I decided to go to the hospital, where she arrived shortly behind us. She worked hard with me to fulfill our birth plan. My favorite part, aside from her being an amazing advocate for us, and communicating with the Dr. was when I got an epidural. She stepped in front of me and held my face, looked me right in the eyes & gently talked me through it while they put it in. I remeber how hard I gripped her arms & she didn't budge. There was so much compassion and steadiness in her voice, her body stood firm, & she was able to help me get it done. NO fault of Sarah's, I ended up c-section. Sarah talked me through everything keeping me as calm as she could. I unfortunately had to be put to sleep but, she was with my partner to support him and walk him through the process. We had our baby safely. WE ARE THANKFUL FOR SARAH BEING THERE WITH US EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, EVEN AFTER. She is one of the most amazing people I've had the pleasure of meeting, professionally and personally. I am grateful for her sharing her birthing experience with me & helping me cope with mine. She has an amazing drive & such a genuine, gentle, progressive soul. We love everything about her, we consider her a friend, I would recommend her to anyone. We wouldn't want anyone else there with us. My partner is also so grateful for her & keeping him calm so he could show up for me. We will always recommend her. Sarah has such a special place in my heart. This isn't just a job for her, she genuinely cares & will do anything to advocate and carry you along the way. She is special, & we are forever amazed by her. THANK YOU SARAH, we will forever love and respect you!
