Testimonial for Sarah McCabe, MA, CD(DONA)
My wife and I were looking for a doula who was attentive but not overbearing and Sarah was the perfect fit. She had the amazing ability to be there when we needed her but knew our boundaries without us having to tell her. We had done plenty of reading and preparation for the birth of our daughter so we were mostly looking for emotional support, advice, and for someone to answer questions when they came up. Sarah was capable, knowledgeable and willing to give us these things without lecturing us on stuff we already knew. She let us lead the conversation and ask questions so we didn’t feel like we were being talked at instead of listened to. We wanted a more laid back approach and Sarah was perfect.
When it came to the big day Sarah was extremely helpful in getting us through the final stages of labouring at home (shout out to the TENS machine) and getting to the hospital. She was with us throughout the birth and gave great advice on all the issues that came up. She also took great notes and photos which we greatly appreciated after the fact as it was not something we had put much thought into.
Through postpartum, Sarah was able to help us with early breastfeeding issues and was available if we needed her for minor things around the house, to catch up on sleep, or for helping with guest visits.
All in all, our experience with Sarah was superb and exactly what we were looking for.
