Testimonial for Sarah Hendricks
Thrilled repeat client here!
After a miscarriage just before our first child (born spring ’23), Sarah brought unexpected care, intuitive compassion, and steady guidance throughout my pregnancy. She gently encouraged us to transfer prenatal care to the VCU Midwives—a decision that reflected her deep knowledge of the local birth community and proved invaluable.
When I sprained my ankle late in pregnancy and had to labor in a boot, Sarah went above and beyond—tapping into her doula network for creative strategies to stay mobile without a weight-bearing leg. She also thoughtfully coached my husband on partner techniques tailored to my injury. Thanks in large part to her support, we had a joyful, unmedicated birth experience.
I reached out to Sarah immediately when we became pregnant again. This time, the pregnancy was smooth until baby turned sunny-side up. Sarah helped me stay grounded during a slow start to labor, offering exercises and practical rest strategies that made all the difference. Once baby turned, labor progressed quickly, leading to another joyful, unmedicated delivery.
What truly sets Sarah apart is her postpartum care. She is attentive, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her visits are affirming and grounding—and even months later, she continues to share her wisdom like confetti.
Do yourself a favor—have your baby with Sarah!
