I was recommended to a Brighter Birth by several colleagues of mine and I could not be happier. Sarah was available for my due date and I knew during our interview with her that she was the one! My husband and I wanted someone as a coach and support as first time parents, but also someone who was flexible and understands the fluidity of birth plans.
I am a medical provider myself, and I was very impressed with Sarah's immense knowledge about the process of birth, interventions, and how she became my advocate in the hospital. She had a wonderful rapport with the doctors and nurses also, which made everything flow so much more nicely. Throughout the pregnancy, she was available for any questions or concerns. As soon as I went into labor, Sarah was at my house in the appropriate timeframe and comforted me immensely. When things got intense or the plan changed, she was able to calm and reassure me the right decisions were being made for my baby and I. She took the time to ask me how I was feeling so I felt heard, and made sure to voice those concerns to my medical team. We went on to have a happy, healthy birth of my little boy!
Overall, I would recommend Sarah as a doula. She helped make my first birth experience a wonderful one.
