Testimonial for Sarah Hendricks
Hiring Sarah was the best decision I made for the birth of my daughter. She is inclusive, thoughtful, and a true advocate for her families. She is so incredibly knowledgable about prenatal, postnatal, and newborn care. Any questions or concerns I had were answered in a supportive, kind way, while also being rooted in evidence based research. She guided us and made sure we were empowered to make decisions that would ultimately shape our birth experience. We could be our own advocates with our providers and I was able to find a care team I loved thanks to her. Sarah is very experienced and it shows. Even the midwives and doctors I worked with knew and respected her. I had such a wonderful birth with her by my side. She provided physical and emotional comfort and I don't know how I would've done it without her. After being induced with my first child (without a doula), I was hoping to go into labor on my own and to have an unmedicated birth. Sarah helped me prep my body and mind before labor to give me the best possible chance. I'm happy to say I was able to go into labor without being induced and had minimal complications with my unmedicated vaginal birth. While no doula can guarantee you'll have the birth experience you hope for, I know our work together helped make this possible. She was such a calm presence and gave my husband the confidence he needed to help me during labor as well. I know he felt a sense of relief to have Sarah as a support system. He could take breaks if needed and really enjoy the labor and birthing process too. She also followed up consistently in the weeks following our birth and provided valuable advice to help us navigate newborn life. I can't recommend Sarah enough!
