Testimonial for Sarah Fielding
I hired Sarah to be my postpartum doula following the birth of my first child in Summer 2023. I was appreciative of Sarah's eagerness to take me on as a postpartum client, as she historically has only taken on birth clients. Well before my baby arrived, Sarah was a wonderful, helpful, fast-to-get-back-to-me resource. She sent me numerous resources on topics I was anxious or curious about in preparation for my baby's arrival. Following his birth, Sarah came to my house and spent time with me on nearly a dozen occasions. While the experience with babies and postpartum mothers is a must in a doula, Sarah's calming presence was so appreciated -- my baby absolutely loved sleeping on Sarah in her ring sling (while mommy got a much-needed shower or nap!). She went above and beyond for me -- once, early on, from my bed, I texted her asking if she could bring me a string cheese. A few minutes later, she arrived with a plate with a few slices of cheese, carrots, and grapes; it's like she instinctually knew what I needed and went the extra mile without being asked. She was also helpful in connecting me with additional resources when nursing/feeding issues were really weighing on me.
While our work together is done, Sarah and I keep in touch and I know that I could turn to her for something if I needed help. Sarah will always have a special place in my heart and I so appreciate her being a part of my "village." Thank you, Sarah!
