Testimonial for Called to Birth Doulas & Birth Services

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!
