Testimonial for Sarah Matney
Sarah was our birthing doula for the arrival of our first child and was really great for all of our needs. With all the information that's thrown at you, it's hard to know what everything means and what the best option is for your family so having Sarah be able to explain things better, using case studies and data plus anecdotal experiences to discuss our options really eased our minds and helped us make the right decisions for ourselves and our baby. She is a calming presence as well and leading up to the birth, was readily available to answer all of our questions and ease our anxiety. At the birth, she advocated for me and my wants and partnered with my husband to ensure I was being taken care of--even if that meant getting the nurses to leave me alone at times when I needed to decompressyy and just breathe! She was right by my side, helping me with delivery and reassuring me along the way while supporting my husband too. Afterwards, she helped with latching and breastfeeding and made sure we got settled into our postpartum room. She continued to provide support how we needed and didn't leave until we were 100% ok. A few days after giving birth, she came to our home to check in and again help us weed through some of the information provided by doctors to figure out what to worry about and what to not to ensure our daughter was taken care of and my mental health was ok. She continued to text and ask how we are and shows she really does care about not only the birthing process and baby but the parents' wellbeing post delivery too. I would highly recommend Sarah as a doula if you're looking for a smart, compassionate, calming presence who will advocate for your needs to be part of your birthing journey!
