Testimonial for Sarah Paksima

Our family could not have been more thankful for the  experience and wisdom Sarah offered throughout the pregnancy, labor, and delivery of our first child. Sarah came to our home for a private visit and prepared both myself and my partner for what to expect during the birth process based on our questions and concerns. She simulated alternative pain management techniques and offered solutions and herbal remedies for some of the challenges I was experiencing. Sarah continuously checked in and offered her support  throughout the pregnancy via text. During the labor process, Sarah came over around midnight once my water broke and stayed with us throughout the 36+ hours that I was in labor both at home and at the hospital. It is very clear that Sarah supports all types of births, both natural and medicinal. When I switched from a natural to medicated birth once arriving at the hospital (Pitocin and an Epidural), Sarah continued to support 100% and worked with both my partner, myself, and the midwives. She is kind, supportive, and very dedicated to supporting her moms. As a first time mom, I couldn't be more thankful for Sarah. What a blessing!!!
