Testimonial for Sarah Cole
I had an interesting labor adventure from a birthing center with no interventions to a hospital birth. Sarah was there for all of it and didn't skip a beat. Sarah was like Mary Poppins pulling things from her magical bag--warm socks, Chapstick, essential oils, a hand-fan, fairy lights even. This was the most vulnerable I have ever been in my life and Sarah took great care and made me feel safe. I remember getting the epidural in the hospital and Sarah leaning me forward in a hug talking me through the procedure. I felt so comforted (also out of it a bit) that I barely felt the needle.
My husband and mom were with me during labor as well and they both kept saying how they valued Sarah's presence and knowledge. She explained everything that was happening every step of the way and it was helpful that she knew some of the nurses and midwives from previous doula jobs. My husband asked her at one point, "How do people do this without a Doula?"
I felt as if my husband and my mom were my ship during the many waves of uncertainty and Sarah was the lighthouse guiding the way for us. Even though it was not quite the birth experience I was hoping for, it was still very positive and that in due greatly to Sarah. Hire this one... she is a keeper! She also took great photos!
