Testimonial for The Birth Collective | doula, photo, education
I had a wonderful experience working with this group for the birth of my first child. I first learned about the incredible work that doulas do while I was completing my Obstetrics training in Physician Assistant school years ago. I hoped that working with a doula would allow my medically trained brain to nurture the emotional part of birth as well as help my non-medical husband through the birth process.
I found The Birth Collective online and was drawn in by their positive reviews. Minutes into meeting them during our virtual intro meeting, I knew I would be comfortable with any of the women attending my birth. I appreciated their evidence based perspective and their acceptance of any and all mother's birth plan wishes. They supported my decisions for a hospital birth with medication.
Sarah attended my birth at Evergreen Hospital. She is a wealth of information, a positive force and passionate about birthing!
I'm grateful for her easy going yet always supportive presence during my birth. My birth plan did not go completely as hoped; but Sarah comforted me through her sense of humor and her anticipatory knowledge as I went down a road of a medically indicated induction. In the end, I completed a vaginal birth, and I absolutely credit Sarah's knowledge of birthing positions at making this happen. My medical team identified that my son was malpositioned in the birth canal. Sarah helped get my body into specialized birthing positions that ultimately moved him into an OA position and out!
Thank you Sarah for the amazing photos of my little guy immediately after birth. I cherish these more than I ever thought I would.
Highly recommend that you hire this group for an empowered, educated birth with endless support!
