Client Reviews
"Stevie did a great job and was extremely flexible working with our schedule and very short notice (about 1.5 - 2 weeks after we contracted her, my wife went into labor). She was on the spot, provided great info, got to the birth center before we did, helped coordinate resources, and did an excellent job coaching my wife on pain management. We believe all the various techniques and quick thinking that Stevie employed helped make our natural birth a great experience that was enjoyable. This is the first of our four births that we reflect on fondly, and it is also the first in which we used a doula. I think Stevie was a huge part of that. 10/10 would highly recommend to others."
“Hiring Sarah as our doula was the best decision we made during pregnancy! We decided we wanted to hire a birth doula to ensure continuity of care throughout labor and delivery — Sarah filled that role and so much more. She checked in with me after every prenatal appointment and pointed us to helpful resources whenever we had questions or concerns. Around 30 weeks, we started realizing that we felt unheard and dismissed by our midwives and doctors. It was Sarah who first encouraged us to look into switching providers, and at 32 weeks we moved to a different practice where I finally felt cared for and in control of my pregnancy and birth. Sarah’s support and validation were crucial for successfully navigating that stressful time. During labor, Sarah was a calming presence who helped both my husband and I feel at ease. I was so grateful for her expertise during that time — suggesting position changes, helping us decide when to go to the hospital, and helping me keep my body relaxed and stay in a good headspace. Our birth was a positive and empowering experience in no small part due to her support. Highly recommend hiring Sarah as your birth doula!! <3”
“We LOVE Sarah! While pregnant with our first, I interviewed many doulas and none of them felt like the right fit for us…until I met Sarah. From our first conversation on the phone I felt so connected with her and I knew I wanted her to be apart of our birth team. One of the best choices I’ve ever made. She was an amazing resource throughout pregnancy from sleep to birthing classes, supported me emotionally when I was unexpectedly induced (she showed up at the hospital with a warm meal and walked me through some breathing exercises to help calm my nerves) and then continued to support me for weeks postpartum. She made me feel so seen and most importantly held during such a vulnerable time. And her food?! Simply divine! Highly recommend working with Sarah, you won’t regret it!.”
— Former Customer"Stevie was amazing; we could not have asked for a more calming, caring person to join us for our first birth! We HIGHLY recommend her. We interviewed other doulas, and we decided on Stevie because of her positivity, knowledge, experience, and wonderful personality. Stevie met with us twice for prenatal visits. She listened intently about what we wanted and asked very thoughtful questions. She showed us different laboring positions and talked us through some of her suggestions for the birthing process. It was clear that she wanted to make sure she was on the same page as us. She never judged our preferences, and she helped guide us through things that we hadn't even thought about. She was also very helpful in answering any email or text questions that I had during my pregnancy.
Even before we asked Stevie to join us at the hospital, she stayed up all night by her phone and checked in with us all through the night. Stevie joined us at the hospital once we felt like we needed her, and when she arrived we immediately felt like everything was under control. We really felt like she "brought it home" the last three hours of labor and that we couldn't have done it without her. The best way to describe our experience with Stevie is that we now consider her part of our family."
"I knew from the beginning I wanted to have a natural childbirth experience and wasn't sure I was really going to accomplish that so I started with a private Yoga session and we met Stevie. From day one she made me feel comfortable and without knowing, helped me build up my confidence that I would be able to stick to my plan. However, we ran into some issues around 20 weeks and Stevie was as always supportive and helped us along the way and I knew then that I wanted her to be my doula. I feel that Stevie was sent from God to remind me that all things are possible when we put our faith in him. If you're looking for a caring, passionate, knowledgeable, compassionate and professional doula, look no further. Even when the doctor wasn't professional, Stevie was and kept me focus and moving along. If I ever have another, Stevie will be a part of my care team without a doubt."
— Former Customer“It was a blessing and a privilege to have Sarah as our birth doula. We found out about her late in our pregnancy, and right away she focused on learning about us and our birth goals, which she helped facilitate through her tireless work and wisdom.
Sarah was with us through a long labor, offering relief through every contraction and helpful advice at every turn in the road. She does not make decisions for you, but offers advice of pros and cons to help empower you to make choices you are happy with.
She truly cares and is committed to her work- meeting with you before and after birth to learn about you and to follow up to make sure you're ok and see the baby.
I cannot recommend Sarah enough. My husband and I felt so supported through this life changing event, we could not have asked for better. Sarah was an invaluable member of our birth team and made our birth story one we can look back upon with positive memories.”
