Testimonial for Sarah McCabe, MA, CD(DONA)

Our first impression of Sarah was how warm and easy she was to talk to. She has a beautiful energy about her and her passion in women’s health and the birth is evident. She listened to every detail and responded with kindness. She took her time and gave you all the time you needed. We never felt judged for the decisions we made.

We were impressed with her level of knowledge and education on labour, the birthing process and postpartum. There were so many things I learned from her that contributed to our beautiful birthing experience. Example, the golden hour. This meant so much to us. We felt like we could really trust her to be apart of such a life changing/huge moment in our lives.

My favorite part about the whole experience was how comfortable my partner was with Sarah. Sarah gently taught my partner how to support me during labour and the birth. We were the most incredible team. The midwives were blown away.

I had the most beautiful birthing experience and I attribute a lot of that to Sarah. She handled the whole experience with such grace. She supported us both without being told what to do. She supported the midwife during the home birth process.

I remember her soft voice helping me through each contraction and her getting my partner a chair and making him drink water.

Her multitasking was so impressive! She was able to give me water, chap stick, speak soft encouraging words to me, fan me AND capture our daughter first cry ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

During the golden hour, she was a little fly on the wall. She documented important information that she knows I would want to have.

Having Sarah during the postpartum period was crucial. Sarah’s overnight help allowed us to get some sleep so we could be the parents we needed to be for our newborn. She did our laundry, cleaned, and cared for our daughter with ease. She was our superhero.
