Testimonial for Sara Krivanec, CD(DTI), CLC
I chose Sara to be my doula because not only does she possess a wealth of knowledge about nutrition and supplements helpful to mommas, labor and birth, and coping strategies but she has the perfect disposition for this work. She is soft-spoken, nurturing and gently encouraging in her manner which is exactly what I needed. Sara was my doula for the births of both of my children. My first child was delivered via an emergency c-section. Although I did not have the natural birth I desired, Sara was still a great help to me, providing me with informatin to help me process my birth and later to prepare me for the VBAC I desired. Knowing that she personally had been through an unplanned c-section and later successfully had both a VBAC and a home birth was encouraging to me. Sara worked with me extensively on baby positioning & made excellent references to resources to give me the best chance of having the labor and birth I desired. During my actual labor, Sara worked tirelessly with my husband and I throughout the night and worked seamlessly with my midwife and the nurses. At one point, when I was experiencing a tough bout of back labor, it was Sara who suggested a technique to give me the relief I needed. She was able to anticipate my needs and to give a voice to what I was feeling when I was unable to. She was a calming influence on my husband as well and he has confided to me that she helped him a great deal just by giving him guidance on how to help me. With her help, I was able to finally have the birth I desired, successfully delivering our son vaginally. I would (and have) enthusiastically recommend Sara to any momma to be, but especially to moms like me who are seeking a successful VBAC. Her support was invaluable to us and I am deeply thankful to her for all that she did.
