We had a wonderful experience working with Sarina and would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone! She provided kind, warm, non-judgmental support throughout our journey. She was incredibly present in both the mental and physical sense, even when my labor ended up being a much longer process than any of us signed up for.
We felt comfortable with Sarina from the moment we met her and knew we could trust her during the most vulnerable time in our lives. She listened to and validated us every step of the way. When I learned I would need to be induced at 37 weeks she jumped into action and helped us adjust to a totally new birth plan. She was a steady, reassuring presence throughout the 2.5 days of my induction. My husband and I were so comforted by her advocacy and support. When I ultimately needed a c section, she provided vital emotional support and information about what to expect.
Her postpartum support was indispensable. She taught us practical skills including how to bathe our baby in our space, how to baby wear, and how to use my pump. She also was a calming, reassuring presence and helped us process our birth and cope with the stress and fatigue of becoming parents. We’re so happy we worked with Sarina and can’t imagine this experience without her.
