I cannot recommend Trish enough! She was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. She was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, making sure I felt educated and empowered every step of the way. She took the time to answer all of my questions and always respected my wishes without judgment. During labor, she was an unwavering source of support, helping me stay calm, confident, and focused on my birth plan. Because of her guidance and encouragement, I felt comfortable advocating for myself, and she helped me successfully carry out the birth experience I had hoped for. What truly sets her apart is the way she continued to care for me after birth. She even went above and beyond by helping prepare postpartum meals, which meant so much during such a vulnerable time. Her kindness, compassion, and dedication made me feel genuinely cared for, not just as a client, but as a mom. I am beyond grateful for everything she did for my family. If you’re looking for a doula who is supportive, respectful, compassionate, and truly invested in your well being, I wholeheartedly recommend her. She made my birth experience more positive than I could have ever imagined.

Hi, I’m Sarah, the heart and soul behind RAS Doula Services. My journey to becoming a doula is deeply personal. My husband and I are parents to five beautiful children, and each pregnancy and birth taught me something different about the strength, vulnerability, and power of motherhood. But our story also holds deep loss. In January 2024, we lost our daughter Riley. Her life, though far too short, changed me forever and became a big part of why I chose this path. I want her life to continue to mean something. Supporting other women as they bring life into the world is one of the ways I honor her. Through my own pregnancies and births, I experienced first hand how important it is for a mother to feel supported, heard, and empowered during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I was incredibly grateful to have my husband by my side each time, but I often think about how different those experiences could have been if I’d also had a trained support person whose sole focus was helping me through every moment of labor. That realization is what led me to become a doula. Along side my training, I bring the lived experience of carrying, birthing, and caring for five children. I understand the physical intensity of labor, the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy, and the strength it takes to bring a baby into the world. My goal as a doula is simple: to walk along side mothers with compassion, knowledge, and encouragement. I want women to feel confident, informed, and empowered in their birth experience. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, you deserve to feel supported, respected, and strong during one of the most important moments of your life. Being invited into such a sacred moment is something I never take lightly. It’s truly an honor to support mothers and families as they welcome their babies into the world.

Erica and I met at the beginning of my second trimester during my search for a doula. I knew immediately after our first meeting that she was the doula for me. Erica has many years of experience and has a really calming spirit. I shared with her my “calling” to have a natural birth and she was so supportive of my goals. She taught me how to use hypnobirthing techniques during the 6 months prior to my son being born. She also helped me to find resources and learn about my options as well as what questions to ask my doctor. I had an amazing birth experience and believe I was able to achieve a hypnobirth. Erica is unequivocally the best doula in the greater Cincinnati area. You won’t go wrong if you choose her! ❤️
