Testimonial for Sarah Lillian, PhD, CD(DONA), RYT-200
Sarah was an incredible part of my birthing experience. We truly couldn't have done it without her. I was working with another amazing doula during my entire pregnancy but unfortunately she ended up being out of the country when my baby decided to come. Sarah was the backup doula and I was very nervous to work with someone new. I originally planned to birth at a birthing center but ended up being transferred to a hospital. I met Sarah for the first time at the hospital while I was in active labor. Sarah came to the hospital prepared with copies of my birth plan to give to the medical providers. She made me feel comfortable with her immediately and was a calming presence right off the bat. Sarah helped throughout my many hours of laboring and pushing and was there for me every step of the way. I had an incredible team of people supporting me throughout my birthing time, but my partner said he felt most supported by Sarah out of everyone in the room. My partner said he was so thankful she was there so that he could just focus on supporting me instead of doing all the things Sarah was doing. She helped coach me through pushing, continuously put cold towels on my neck and forehead, held my hand, held up my legs for hours of pushing, gave me water, offered continuous encouragement, and helped explain my options in a way that made me feel like I was always in charge of my care. Even after birth, Sarah came and did some home visits with us to make sure we were supported in the postpartum time. I would absolutely recommend Sarah as a doula to anyone looking for one.
