Testimonial for Sarah Hodgkinson Board
Sarah supported me through my first pregnancy and birth and was one of the first phone calls I made when I found out I was pregnant with our second. As a first-time mama and—let’s be real—a second-time mama, I have so many questions and often go down the rabbit hole of internet research. Sarah repeatedly saved me from this fate with her extensive knowledge of maternal and infant health. At certain points in my pregnancies, she encouraged me to stop Googling things, which also helped. Sarah supports her recommendations with research and shares her sources. She provides thorough answers to questions. When she is unable to answer a question, she uses her network to find one. Sarah has given us referrals for many types of providers. From lip and tongue tie revision for our babies to pelvic floor physical therapy for me, Sarah’s referrals have all been excellent (and also safeguard against the internet rabbit hole problem I mentioned earlier). Beyond her knowledge and network, Sarah is kind and a great encourager. Her ability both to inspire and to put you at ease is made more impressive by the fact that she is supporting you through pregnancy and childbirth, experiences that are not easy or comfortable. Sarah’s calming presence and ability to provide effective physical comfort measures empowered me to have two amazing natural births. She helped all members of my birth team communicate and collaborate so I received the best support possible. Sarah is someone I trust and I do not trust easily. I have a particularly hard time entrusting others with the care of my children (just ask my husband about how many babysitter suggestions I have vetoed). I trusted Sarah to help care for our children when they were growing inside me and making their entrances into the world. And I would do it again.
