Testimonial for Sarah Newton, CD(DONA), CPD (BAI)
We were so glad to have Sarah's support during pregnancy and birth! She was great about staying in touch and up-to-date through my pregnancy, and offered several helpful suggestions and guidance to address various questions and discomforts. My favorite was when she showed my husband some acupressure points to ease hip pain-- it made a huge difference!
During the birth process, Sarah offered guidance and support prior to her arrival and pointed us to resources for coping in early labor. She had several ideas to help me cope and progress through a long, slow labor, and helped me and my husband think through our options and alternatives for interventions. When I reflect on our son's birth, I'm struck by the intense feelings of strength and support that accompanied his arrival. It was so empowering, and Sarah's guidance and encouragement played a huge role.
Sarah continued to be available once we returned home. When my milk came in and I was up at all hours trying to figure out breastfeeding, I was so glad to know that she was only a text away with guidance and reassurance that my experience was normal.
Overall, Sarah's familiarity with our birth preferences, her calm demeanor and her sense of humor allowed us to have an enjoyable, memorable, and generally awesome pregnancy, birth, and return home.
