Sarah Johnson - Birth Doula

Q: What's the difference between a midwife and a birth doula?

A midwife is a medical care provider who monitors your health and your baby’s health during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Midwives provide clinical care and attend your baby’s birth. A birth doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support. I help you prepare, offer comfort measures during labor, support your partner, and help you understand your options and communicate your preferences. I don’t perform medical exams, monitor your baby, or deliver babies. You can have a doula alongside either a midwife or an OB—our roles complement each other.

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! Interest free payment plans up to 6 months are always an option.

Q: How much does Sarah charge?

Sarah's Birth Coaching package is $350 USD, flat rate. Sarah lists 3 packages in all.

Q: Is Sarah taking new clients?

Taking new clients. Due Jan – Jun 2027, Aug – Sep 2027. Availability was confirmed 2 weeks ago.

About Sarah

Hi, I’m Sarah, a mom of seven, doula, and birth photographer serving South Georgia and North Florida. My own births taught me that how you’re treated, what you understand, and whether you feel heard can stay with you long after your baby is born. You can be grateful for a healthy baby and still care deeply about your experience. I especially love supporting moms who want a low-intervention hospital birth and need help navigating what that can look like. We’ll talk through your options, prepare your partner, practice comfort measures, and make room for the questions or fears you might hesitate to say out loud. During labor, I bring a calm presence, hands-on support, and help sorting through information when things feel overwhelming. I respect your decisions and support you when plans change. My role is to help you recognize your own strength and feel confident using your voice. You’re the one doing this. You deserve to feel supported while you do.

Sarah was our birth photographer and doula. I cannot say enough how amazing our experience was! She goes above and beyond. We felt so supported- before, during and after birth. The photos are absolutely stunning and something we will cherish forever! Sarah has such a calming presence and I had the most magical birth experience and I know that is in part to all the work she put in with us! She educated us, comforted us, helped us advocate for ourselves and create a birth plan. She never left my side at the hospital- from 9pm to 1:30pm the next day! If you’re pregnant, she’s the doula you need!!

Birth photography is unlike any other form of photography and Sarah is unlike any other photographer! She was present, but not invasive, supportive but not overbearing, and everything we didn’t know we needed. Having her there allowed my husband to be just as present in the moment with me and now these pictures will be special to both of us, because he didn’t have to be the faceless man on the other side of the camera! Also, when Sarah offers to braid your hair, let her. Can’t recommend her enough!

Sarah was so lovely to work with!! She was down-to-earth and simple, but fun and creative. The picture quality and gallery from our session really blew us away!! The price may seem a bit higher, but her pictures are truly works of art and a snapshot in time. You won't regret scheduling a session with her!! <3
