Testimonial for MyBirth
The only way I could describe how invaluable Sara's services are is to quote my husband: "If her fee were 3x as expensive for our next child, I'd still pay it!"
Our first baby, Roy, was born on February 10th, 2021. I can confidently say that I feel empowered by this beautiful birth experience, despite some unexpected twists and turns, because of Sara's around-the-clock support. She was there for me before the baby was born to discuss my fears and anxieties about labor and birth, always bringing a calm, level-headed, yet informed and realistic, perspective. Once I was in labor and we went to the birth center, Sara provided lots of guidance on positions to help move my baby down and into a more ideal position. This really freed up my husband to support me emotionally, as we both trusted Sara completely to guide us through the labor. Sara communicated a calm confidence in me as I labored through moments of self-doubt, like when labor stalled, or when we thought I may need a C-section.
Ultimately, our son was born healthy at the birth center at a whopping 10 lb 13 oz! Sara took beautiful photos of the labor and birth that I love looking back on. After the birth, I had to transfer to the hospital due to hemorrhage, and Sara was there with me, transforming what may have been a scary moment into one where I felt proud of what I had accomplished and completely trusting of my body.
I love telling my birth story to my friends because it makes me feel powerful and strong. I am confident that Sara's presence before, during, and after our birth was instrumental in shaping the outcomes of my birth and my feelings about it afterward.
TL;DR Sara is amazing at what she does. She is passionate about birth and supporting new parents. HIRE A DOULA, period, but especially hire Sara if you can! :)
