Testimonial for Sarah Newton, CD(DONA), CPD (BAI)
After talking with some friends and listening to others share their positive experiences with doulas, we decided to do our homework and find the right person for us. Having our first child was a little intimidating, and being far away from a traditional family support system added to our worries. When we set out to interview candidates, we thought there would be many. After meeting with Sara, however, we both instantly knew she was the right person to guide us through our first childbirth. She is knowledgeable and up-to-date on the latest medical “trends” in pregnancy and childbirth, but has plenty of common sense and doesn’t advocate for anything unless you want her to. She is an attentive listener and has a calming presence. She is respectful and never pushy, and works hard to include the father in every step, which was very important to us. Sara tailored everything to our situation. Working in different towns over an hour away from our hospital during the day, we had plenty of concerns. Having the peace of mind that she could come to us at a moment’s notice was invaluable. When the time came, she was right there, and stayed by our side through a long and difficult labor. The experience truly would not have been the same without her. Sara was our rock. She also went the extra mile in many ways, and helped set a wonderful mood in the labor and delivery room. She thinks of so many details that most people never would and takes care of them all for you. Those little details really made our overall experience memorable and wonderful. If and when the time comes again, we plan to have Sara by our side. She will always have a special place in our hearts!
