Hi, I'm Sarah and I founded Forever Doula because I think babies are the absolute best (and so are their moms and dads). I am a DONA trained Birth and Postpartum Doula, a Birth and Bereavement Doula through StillBirthDay, a Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, a Spinning Babies Certified Parent Educator, and a Certified Lactation Counselor. Before becoming a doula I worked with children in education, specializing in care for kids with special needs. I absolutely loved my job. This sparked an initial passion in me for children and their care. In 2014 my husband and I found out we were going to have our first baby. So exciting (but also a little scary)! I quickly realized how significant care for mom and baby is during pregnancy, birth and newborn stages. Oftentimes we emphasize the care a baby needs. It’s natural - they’re so small and rely on us for everything. But while their care is so important, we can inadvertently disregard the care moms need as well. It was through my own experience I learned that great care for baby begins with great care for mom. It was that truth that turned my initial spark of passion into a life changing journey. I was hooked. Being a doula has been the most rewarding and satisfying job of my life (besides being a mommy). My research, training, and extended experience has shaped the way I approach doula care: I support informed birth choices and empowerment. In simple terms, I believe all moms should have the support to birth and care for their baby, their way. No pressure and no judgment. I’ve worked with moms who know exactly what they want and need my help to achieve that. I love that! I’m on your team all the way. Other times moms need help figuring out what they want, and I love that too! It allows me to offer them all of the information, research and education I have stored up so they can have that “Aha!” moment when they finally discover which approach resonates with them. It’s such a beautiful thing! I truly believe great care is hinged on great education. I’m extremely passionate about educating mothers to learn what changes are occurring in her body, details about labor and delivery, as well as providing comfort measures to ease her body into birthing her baby. It’s my goal to support you by offering evidence-based information, teaching you how to self advocate for your needs, and being physically present at the delivery, as well as providing continued postpartum care. At Forever Doula, we understand that no two births are the same (I myself had three very different births) and every postpartum journey holds its own unique challenges. We’re here to help you through it all, providing you not only the care you desire, but the premium support you and your baby deserve. Together, we’re going to make your dream a reality.

My husband and I completed the 3-in-1 birth class with ForeverDoula and found it to be informative, empowering, and enjoyable. We both left feeling much more prepared for the labor, delivery, and postpartum experiences. We are so grateful for Sarah's support!

We are endlessly grateful to Forever Doula for supporting us through our 36-hour labor and making us feel truly prepared for our birthing journey. From the very beginning, we felt informed, empowered, and supported every step of the way. Michelle was absolutely incredible. The fact that she was by our side for the entire 36 hours—through Christmas Eve and Christmas Day—speaks volumes about her dedication and heart. Her expertise, calm presence, and intuition made my labor experience unforgettable. I will never forget the peanut ball, the guidance around the midwives and the epidural, and how spiritually grounding the entire experience felt. It was powerful, sacred, and deeply meaningful. We are also so thankful for the home visits—coming into our space, helping us understand parenthood, and preparing us as much as possible for our baby made such a difference. It gave us confidence and peace during such a transformative time. Thank you to Michelle, Annelle, and Sarah for making the process of getting a doula so easy, accessible, and supportive. The love, care, and intention you put into your work does not go unnoticed. We will truly never forget you and are forever grateful for the role you played in welcoming our baby into the world.

I am so happy that I chose to work with Forever Doula during our first baby's "4th trimester." Sarah was an absolutely fantastic person to work throughout the process- from explaining their process in detail, to helping us select the right Doulas, to guiding us through pros and cons of different schedules we were considering. Sarah also ended up being one of our Doula's and oh man, she is an absolute treasure. I truly feel like our two doula's became apart of our village and were such a huge help for teaching me and instilling confidence in me, supporting our sleep schedules, and caring for our little one. I could go on and on with all the great things I have to say, but in short- if you are thinking about going with Forever Doula, just do it. Best decision I made.
— Danielle Beneduce Valente
Sarah was a lifesaver, quickly putting together a team of doulas to help us out at the last minute. They were all amazing and helped us get some rest in the first few months of the baby. I would highly recommend working with Sarah if you can. The support was so valuable at such a vulnerable time for our family.
— Lisa Van Loo
We are so happy we took the birthing/newborn class. Anelle was able to answer all our questions and we feel so much more prepared for baby!
— Veronika jokel
I really enjoyed getting to know Sarah throughout my postpartum journey. She provided valuable guidance and tips on caring for and breastfeeding a newborn. She was attentive to the needs of both mom and baby and my family was immediately comfortable with her in our home and with our children. I cannot recommend Forever Doula enough!
— Francesca Bastone
Words cannot describe the impact that Forever Doula brought to our family. From the initial intake through our last day with our post-partum doulas, we were given seamless and customized care that ALWAYS made us feel like a priority. Alex and Casey helped us through mental, emotional, and physical post-partum recovery and cultivated a comfortable/judgment free environment. What truly set them apart was their empathetic and knowledgeable support (especially, with lactation) which ultimately made two first time parents feel educated, empowered, excited, and confident. Forever Doula set our family up for success as we embarked on a new chapter and we are forever grateful!
— Nicole Hoeber
As first-time parents, my husband and I were in need of newborn care guidance and nighttime assistance. Forever Doula quickly connected us with Sarah G, who was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. Sarah patiently answered our questions at all hours of the day (and night) and provided such helpful breastfeeding advice. We will definitely be reaching out to Forever Doula for all future child related services.
— Melissa
Highly recommend hiring Forever Doula for all their services. I am having my second child after almost 16 years since having my first. Sarah and Annelle were so patient and thorough, answered all my questions and helped ease my concerns from the trauma of my previous birth. My husband and I feel equipped and empowered for all the different scenarios that can happen during childbirth. I can't thank them enough!! I also want to add that my baby was not in the right position and they provided so many resources and showed me many different exercises that I can do to help baby move to the right position. Within a week of following their recommendations, baby successfully moved into the correct position. It was such a relief knowing that the chance of a c-section was greatly reduced in such a short amount of time.
— Kathy B
We are so thankful for Sabina. She was absolutely wonderful and a huge support to me, my husband, and our baby boy during the post partum period. Her calming demeanor and breadth of knowledge made us feel so comforted during an otherwise stressful time. We truly looked forward to her visits. We hope to work with her in the future if we’re fortunate enough to grow our family.
— Laura Collett
Working with Sarah was amazing! Our pre birth class was extremely informative, and armed us with all of the information and skills we needed to feel confident going into birth and the first few months of life. Highly recommend working with Sarah!
— Rob Fink
I recently welcomed my third child and Kathleen was our doula for 4 nights. Forever Doula’s process was seamless when selecting a doula and they were so kind and supportive. Kathleen our doula is a fantastic human being - kind, patient, nurturing and so supportive. I felt so cared and supported by her and so did our daughter. An amazing postpartum experience all round.
— Lorna Purcell
Sarah supported my family in finding a night doula for the first few months postpartum. Sarah was incredibly attentive and detailed in understanding our needs and matching us with appropriate care. I'm not sure we would have survived without her and the Forever Doula network :) We'll be forever grateful!
— Addie Marino
Sarah couldn’t have been more helpful in guiding me through the process of picking the perfect night nurse for our son. From the first few minutes of meeting his caretaker, Lauren, we knew instantly that she would be the perfect fit! She has become like family, and we know will always be a special part of our son and our lives. Lauren was knowledgeable, comforting, responsible, and loving. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
— Lauren Provenzano
Sarah, was such a great resource when I was pregnant with my third baby and wanted to have an unmedicated VBA2C. She provided one on one childbirth education to myself and husband and supported us through the entire journey. She is professional and truly has a heart of gold. I would highly recommend Forever Doula. They truly care about you and I am so happy with everything that was provided.
— Michelle Tamakloe
I contacted Forwver Doula in the morning on the Fourth of July after a few sleepless nights and crippling anxiety, my husband and I were so burnt out and just needed a good nights sleep. I didn’t think I’d actually be able to find someone to help me out on the holiday but within an hour, Sarah, was able to match me with the best doula to come overnight and take care of the baby. Lauren was amazing, she came in and talked to us and told us what to expect, she washed bottles and helped us get ready for the night. She kept the baby with her all night so my husband and I could get a full uninterrupted nights sleep! In the morning we felt like we got the recharge we needed and she went over how the baby did overnight and gave us tips on sleep routines, night feedings and breast pumping. Lauren was incredible and we can’t thank her enough!
— Kelly Larkin
We had a great experience throughout the whole process. Forever Doula made it simple and has a vast network of amazing people to choose from. We will use their services for our next child.
— Colin Wilson
I don't think I could imagine bringing home our baby without the love and support from Christine our doula. She was so warm and kind and professional and took such amazing care of myself and our baby. I was able to rest and without any worry knowing my baby was in good hands. Christine has become like one of the family and we are so happy that we made the right call to get the extra support we do desperately needed once the baby came.
— Veronika G
Sarah is not only an amazing doula but an amazing friend, mother and everything in between. She helped me tremendously throughout my pregnancy and postpartum period - without her I wouldn't have had the confidence in myself to breast feed. My baby boy came a month early and she was there ready to help me the day we got home from the hospital because I was by no means prepared for his arrival. She helped create a postpartum team to help me up until 3 weeks postpartum. I will never forget what she has done for my family and I cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

We contacted Sarah and Forever Doula when we were 7 months pregnant searching for postpartum doulas/night nurses. We chose Forever Doula for a few reasons: first was that pricing and options were clear, straightforward, and adaptable packages to what we needed. Second was having a consistent team - many other services we spoke with had different doulas showing up ad hoc, but given the intimacy of the postpartum time we really wanted a consistent team that we felt comfortable with. Finally, Forever Doula had clear, consistent communication with us from the start. Sarah after understanding our needs selected several doulas for us to interview, which allowed us to assemble a team that best suited our needs. We ended up having two night nurses that alternated and a part time day nurse a few times a week. Each of them was hyper communicative and open to whatever approach we wanted to take, helping us to feel so supported in such a vulnerable time. All of our team had extensive newborn experience and helped us as new parents navigate build the confidence we needed for anything from breastfeeding to diapering to understanding developmental stages. We now have a 3 month old who sleeps well, knows how to self-soothe, and is operating ahead of the curve. While I’d love to credit my genes for some of that I know it is more to do with the solid start, foundations, and guidance we were given by our doula team. Personally we worked with Anelle, Lorraine and Anna and I can’t recommend them highly enough. We loved them and our baby loved them and thrived under their care. Whoever you end up with, you’re in good hands with Sarah guiding you.

Fantastic service and excellent doula :D Very professional.
— Nick Gu
Michelle was the perfect calming, knowledgeable presence during my birthing experience. Based on the tools she provided me I was able to labor “comfortably” at home and arrived at the hospital fully dilated ready for my little one to arrive! She assisted with different positions during labor, asked them to dim the lights to make it more relaxed in the delivery room, took photos, and made sure there was music playing as my son entered the world (per my request). It was very comforting, especially as a first time mom, knowing there was someone there to support mine and my husbands wishes and advocate for us. I couldn’t recommend Michelle more.
— Nicole Russo
I had a great experience using Forever Doula. I'm a first time mom and knew that I wanted to have some sort of prep class for birth as well as a postpartum Doula to help me navigate the unknowns of motherhood. Sarah offers a course that goes over everything from giving birth to how to breastfeed. It was the most informative 6 hours of my life and I no longer felt scared, rather I felt empowered to give birth. Sarah also helped match me with a Doula who was amazing and exactly what I was looking for. It was so reassuring to have my pp Doula teach me what to do and also have the peace of mind at night to know that my little one is being looked after. I would recommend Forever Doula to anyone who is looking for guidance, care, and peace of mind over this rollercoaster of a journey that motherhood is.

I had Sarah as my doula for my first birth. Between her extensive knowledge and overall care, I would highly recommend her to anyone! We knew we made a great decision after our first meeting together. When the big day arrived, I felt she had the perfect balance in knowing when to stay in the background during early labor and when to jump into action when the time called for it. At one point my labor was slowing down and she had me do specific exercises to get the baby into a better position and to get my labor active again. Right after, I physically saw my belly drop significantly and labor picked up again! She was very “hands on” during active labor when things were getting intense. I am so grateful for her support in the moments where I was unsure and had questions. She was there every step of the way! She also took amazing pictures that I will treasure forever. Sarah is a very caring person who is passionate about birth and because of that, she does her job very well. My husband and I are so thankful for her support through our entire birth journey. I am sure any women would be happy to have her as there doula.
— Gabrielle Testa
Sarah was my birth Doula in 2017 and she not only equipped me with all the knowledge I needed she also eased my mind during labor and held my hand every step of the way. I ended up having to have a c section but in recovery Sarah was right there lending her helping hand and trying to navigate and guide me in the new world of Breastfeeding . Sarah is someone who cares for everyone she helps and she makes sure she gives you the most honest and informative advice . I 100% think my birth was less traumatic because Sarah was there every step of the way with me I recommend her and her services any day you won’t be sorry .
