“My partner and I took a three part class from Sarah, though she has many offerings up to full birth doula [support]. Her knowledge she imparted was invaluable. The courses took us through anatomical and emotional changes (and how your partner can support you), stages of labor, decisions about interventions, comfort tools, and basics about hospital prep and postpartum info like latching, postpartum emotions, and organizing your home. I 100% endorse Sarah as a helpful, informative, and comforting resource! (Also she has no judgement about whether you want an epidural, natural, etc.)”
