Kind Words.

  • “I truly don’t know how I could ever put into words how thankful I am for Sarah and her services. After a traumatic first birth experience, I decided to find a doula to help me with my second birth. I was scared and nervous going into my second birthing experience and I ended up having the most magical birthing experience thanks to Sarah. Right off the bat she made the birthing room a completely serene and calm environment, she coached me when I started second guessing myself, helped me move positions to help with pain relief and move labor along, supported me and my husband as we labored, and caught the most magical moment of us finding out the gender when baby was born. If you are looking for an amazing birth experience I would HIGHLY recommend Sarah.” -Megan

  • “I cannot recommend Sarah enough!! She was our doula for my third birth, a VBA2C. I felt so heard, understood and supported by her which was refreshing when attempting a VBAC can feel like such an uphill battle to climb. She had such a calm, encouraging and empowering presence throughout labor and delivery. I greatly appreciated how ready and attentive she was- even small things like having my birth plan printed out and ready to give the hospital, packing extra snacks to give during labor, and (quite literally) constantly having my back throughout. She even took the time to stay with my husband and baby when I had to go back for an emergent procedure after birth. I do not think my birth experience would have been nearly as positive without her and I am so grateful! I cannot think of anyone better to help assist you in bringing a precious life earthside. I would recommend Sarah as a doula one million times over!” -Sumter

  • “Sarah was my doula for my third birth, second time hiring a doula. After a disappointing experience with my first doula, Sarah more than made up for it. She helped me feel empowered to make my own decisions and confident about my reasoning for making those decisions. She will check in on you often but is not overbearing. She really takes your birthing experience to heart and I feel so lucky to have connected with her. Please do not hesitate to reach out and get on her schedule because I can’t think of a more perfect person to assist you in your birth and transition to motherhood!” -Chrissie

  • “Sarah was a night doula for our twin infants starting when they were only two weeks old. It is hard to leave your babies in the care of someone else when they are so tiny. We wanted someone with the knowledge and expertise of babies of that age. Sarah was amazing from the first time we met her. She brings a calm demeanor and positive presence. We trusted her ability to care for our babies. She was never flustered and always knew how to best care for them since she has a lot of experience. She helped us so much during those first couple months by allowing us to get some sleep a few times a week. She is so sweet and you can tell she absolutely loves being a doula!” -Haley

  • “Sarah stepped in for my planned doula last minute due to an illness. While everything went sideways with my delivery, Sarah remained calm and supportive of the multiple adjustments/changes my husband and I had to make to deliver our girl safely. When the delivery ended in an emergency c section, she stayed to packup everything from my delivery room to be transported to my recovery room so my husband could be by my side while they wheeled me out. She has stayed in touch and sent multiple additional resources post partum to help with the goal of vbac for next delivery.” -Kristen

  • “Sarah was really helpful and attentive to my requests and needs when I got to work with her as night time postpartum doula. She made healthy meals/meal prepped for us- something that both adults and lids might like. She always asked us what we might need on her way to us, too. She has a very calm but positive disposition to her and we couldn’t have made it without her help! Highly recommended.” -Hyeji

  • “I can honestly say my birth would not have been the same without Sarah! She was the calm in the storm, and I am forever thankful for her calm reassuring presence in welcoming my daughter earthside!” -Katelyn

  • “Sarah came into our family as an overnight postpartum doula after the birth of our 2nd baby. She is truly wonderful and so easy to love. I can honestly say, it was because her care that I was able to recover from my c-section and be present for my toddler. Even though I was still waking up at night to feed/pump, Sarah took care of the baby, breastmilk storage, and bottle washing all so I could maximize sleep. I would absolutely recommend Sarah as a postpartum doula.” -Emily

  • “Sarah is an incredible doula, I highly recommend! She was there for me and my husband every step of the way even during pregnancy. She is very knowledgeable about all things pregnancy, birth and postpartum which is so helpful. Sarah was very reliable and a source of calmness during labor. We are so grateful for her support!” -Beth

  • “Sarah was seriously a godsend for us during the first six weeks postpartum! Our transition from 1 to 2 was rockier than expected, and I attribute much of our sanity to her. Lol. She came over a couple of days each week to help keep the house together, support my toddler through the transition and give me a moment to breathe, shower and just talk to another adult. Postpartum doula support is truly priceless, and I’m so glad we had Sarah on our team.” -Taylor
