Testimonial for Sara Krivanec, CD(DTI), CLC, CCLS
I'm so thankful to have had Sara as my doula for the birth of both of my sons. My husband and I wanted to work with Sara because we felt comforted by her at our first meeting, and knew right away that we could trust her and her experience to guide us through the prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum experience. At our first prenatal home visit, Sara walked us through what to expect in labor and shared many stories with us that helped us to answer questions we didn't even know we had. I felt more empowered after our meeting and thankful my husband and I would have Sara on our team. We really felt like a team! Sara was a calming voice when my water broke in the early morning, and she coached us through laboring at home and when to go into the hospital. Once in the hospital, she used essential oils in the tub to help my stay calm, and had helpful suggestions on labor positions. She and my husband worked well together to support me.
Working with Sara for my second baby was even more meaningful because we'd already shared one birth together! I was able to confide in her about my fears of delivery (even though I had a great first birth experience, I still had fears). We talked through the fears, reflected on what went well the first time and developed new strategies (I really wanted to deliver off the bed). Then I practiced envisioning the labor I wanted and became very confident going into labor the second time. At one point during pushing, I told her I was starting to feel scared again, and she reassured me I could do it. That was exactly what I needed and my son was born right after, off the bed just like I wanted.
Working with Sara felt like being with family. We're so thankful for her!
