Sarah Herbein
About me
Hello! I'm Sarah, and I am a Certified Labor/Postpartum Doula, PAILAdvocate (Pregnancy and Infant Loss), and Breastfeeding Specialist. I believe that holistic support for the entire family, not just physical care of the baby, is vital during the postpartum period. I have deep respect for both traditional knowledge and modern science, and utilize both in my services. I am a NICU mom with two kids, and I enjoy knitting, reading, and taking walks in the woods.

Service introduction
Every family has unique priorities, so I provide various levels of care to match those preferences. Maybe all you’re interested in is a 3-hour postpartum shift so you can get a nap or a prenatal breastfeeding class. Or maybe you’re looking for childbirth education, birth support, and some overnight shifts for the first 6 weeks. My goal is to meet parents where they’re at and provide services tailored to their specific needs. My job is not to tell you what choices to make. We talk about options, evidence, and impacts so that you can make your own informed decisions. Knowledge is power, and I don’t want anyone to look back on their early parenthood experience and think, “If I had known this was an option, I would have done things differently.”

Sarah is amazing! She supported me through all the confusing and scary things of pregnancy and labor! Very kind and knowledgeable! Was there to answer every question I had! Was there to support and comfort me through having my breech baby turned and through labor! Stayed awake and by my side through the night to help me through my contractions and fears! She’s wonderful and I really don’t know what I would’ve done without her!

Sarah is a wonderful doula! Our experience with her was absolutely amazing. Sarah is a walking encyclopedia for taking care of a newborn. There is so much she taught us from milk storage, sanitation practices, baby wearing, and product recommendations just to name a few. And if there is something she didn't know, she researched and found the answers for us. Sarah was also so willing to help with anything we needed. She handled the overwhelm we were feeling as new parents with grace and helped alleviate our chaos, but never added to that overwhelm. She helped us feel at ease and was able to provide us with the knowledge we needed to best care for our baby boy. We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone with a new baby.

Sarah assisted me with postnatal questions and care. She truly listens to understand and knowledgably helped me learn what I needed to prepare for the postnatal season. She patiently answered all of my (many) questions about breastfeeding, infant sleeping, postpartum body changes, etc., and connected me with the resources needed. Thanks to Sarah, my anxiety went down as the fear of the unknown and that I was "missing" something disappeared. I highly recommend her! She is someone you want by your side!
