Testimonial for Sarah Hendricks

We were so fortunate to have someone recommend Sarah to us when we were looking for a doula. This was our second pregnancy, eight years after the birth of our first daughter, and our previous doula was no longer practicing. Sarah came to our house, for the first initial meeting, and I felt instantly at ease. She asked us about ourselves, our first birth, and made sure to include our curious daughter in this conversation. We decided to work together during this meeting and when she left my wife and I both agreed we felt she was the perfect choice. We met several more times, to work and she responded quickly any time we had a question pop up or wanted to know about something we had heard about. My wife had a high risk pregnancy and Sarah went above and beyond to help us prepare for any obstacle we might encounter down the road.

Sarah happened to be on vacation when my wife went into labor around 10 pm. We texted Sarah and she let us know that she was leaving and would be in touch with us as soon as she was home. My wife labored through the night and into the morning, updating Sarah on her progress. My wife hit a hard spell and told Sarah she wanted to throw in the towel on a natural birth but Sarah suggested she come over first to work with her some more. When she got here the contractions were on top of each other and we decided it best to drive to the hospital. When we walked into our room my wife was ready to push and was scared. Sarah helped us stay focused and was such an intergral part to keeping my wife moving forward. Her calmness and control also helped me to focus on helping my wife as well. Our second daughter was born twenty minutes after we got to the hospital and Sarah stayed with us until we were ready to be moved to our room.  In the following few weeks, Sarah came to visit multiple times, to check on our wellness and make sure mom was doing ok. She even brought us dinner! Words cannot express how thankful we are for Sarah!
