Sarah was absolutely amazing and such a calming presence throughout my labor and birth. My birth story is tough on and quite long, so I just hit the highlights. I planned to give birth at a birth center. I go into labor Wednesday morning around 9am to 5pm, get stalled in my labor, which I fully believe was due to the team at the center, Sarah was so encouraging the whole time reminding me my body knows what to do and I was designed for this, but I end up giving birth at the hospital Thursday at 5am. It was a very tough labor due to the conflicting opinions with the center and my view of natural birth. But like I said Sarah was amazing at being there and encouraging and reminding me I was made for this! So thankful for her presence that day🤍

Honestly very knowledgeable in what she does. Not only being there witnessing my birth to my daughter but that she truly spoke for me when I couldn’t . Allowing the doctor to know what I want and what I didn’t want . Felt heard , seen , loved on, and supported. When being so vulnerable and not knowing what I was doing the Lord never gave up on me and on her to give us strength in a time that seemed so much yet so rewarding.

Sarah was our doula for my birth back in 2023. It was a planned home birth that turned into an induced hospital birth due to preeclampsia. Sarah was so incredible during our experience, she was flexible and ready for anything. Even though this was not what we had planned, she kept us fully informed, advocated for us when we needed it, and stayed by our side for 2 and a half days during my labor. She was paramount to my experience and my husband's, and it meant so much to us that she was there and helped us through a very stressful and sudden birth. I could not recommend her more as a doula.
