Testimonial for Sarah Thiel
Sarah is positively the best person to have at your side throughout the pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. I told her often she was my calm place! Considering my journey happened during Covid-19 I needed the extra calm. She always balanced me in the most gentle and loving manner. When I found out I had to take a three hour glucose test I was extremely worried. Sarah offered to go with me to help my nerves and assured me no matter what obstacle may arise that we would overcome it together. When my due date came and went I was scheduled to be induced. Sarah gave me a healthy perspective and encouraged me to let my doctor know how I felt. Even though she couldn't be there due to Covid restrictions, she helped me find my voice by empowering me! She also gave me tips on how to naturally induce labor and offered to walk up and down steep hills with me to get that baby moving. When I started having contractions Sarah came to my house and showed me how my belly would tighten during a contraction which was reassuring. Due to Covid the hospital only let my partner in but Sarah was with me in spirit and gave me many mental and physical tools to use. When I came home with my daughter Sarah was there to help with meals, housekeeping, etc. She made sure that both me and my partner were getting rest and nourishment. Although my daughter had no problem latching and breastfeeding wasn't an issue, Sarah was well prepared to help with any lactation needs. When I went back to work my daughter refused to take a bottle. Sarah was a wealth of knowledge on the topic and gave me tactics to use that we've had great success with! Sarah has been and continues to be a breath of fresh air and warm presence whose knowledge and experience is vast. I highly recommend her! I would have been so lost without her. Because of her I was able to fully enjoy my experience and I even think my daughter has been such an easy and joyful baby because of Sarah's presence throughout our journey.
