Where do I even begin? Hiring Sara Rene was the best decision my husband and I made in bringing our daughter into the world.
From the moment I met her, she was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. Throughout my pregnancy she checked in on me frequently, came for home visits, and made sure I always felt heard and prepared.
When I went into labor, she arrived to my home shortly after I notified her. She spent hours supporting me, pushing on my back through contractions, prepping emesis bags, handing me a labor comb, and continuously uplifting me when the pain was intense. And she did all of this while pregnant herself, never once letting that affect the exceptional care she provided.
She rode with us to the hospital and never left my side, not that entire night or the following day. She and my husband took turns applying counter pressure on my hips. She set up the room with space lights (I work for NASA so that thoughtful touch meant a lot). Because of her, my environment felt protected, calm, and empowering.
She educated me on how to advocate for myself and kept me moving throughout labor. Shower, tub, standing, squatting, every position imaginable. She helped set everything up perfectly every time. Her background as a labor and delivery nurse was incredibly reassuring, and she stayed with us even after our baby was born to ensure we were both doing well.
From the moment she walked through my door until after delivery, she was by my side for 15 hours straight.
I would not change a thing about my birth experience and it is because of Sara Rene. She continued checking on us postpartum and even visited at home to help us settle in.
I cannot recommend her enough. She is truly one of a kind and we are so thankful she was part of our daughter’s birth story.
