Sarah’s Approach to Doula Work

Sarah strives to create a safe and nurturing space for growing families. A nurturer at heart, she brings a natural sense of calm to those around her. She is excited to help support your family through the birth of your baby and help you recognize your power during this transitional period. Sarah aims to be an additional sense of security and empowerment throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum care period. She provides physical, emotional, and informational support to your family, which includes: position suggestions, rhythmic breathing, reassurance, and help connecting with your provider. This support isn't only for the person giving birth, but the support person as well. Her ability to remain composed under pressure makes her a stabilizing addition to any birth story. She is able to supply evidence-based resources to help alleviate any questions that may arise. Sarah hopes to offer unbiased information for people to make the best decision for their body, family, and baby.
