About me
Hello! I'm Sarah, and I am a Certified Labor and Postpartum Doula,. I am also a PAILAdvocate (Pregnancy and Infant Loss) and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist. I believe that holistic support for the entire family, not just physical care of the baby, is vital during the postpartum period. I have deep respect for both traditional knowledge and modern science, and utilize both in my services. I am a NICU mom with two kids, and I enjoy knitting, reading, and taking walks in the woods.

Service introduction
I provide three main types of services. For in-home care, we start my shift by discussing your priorities and goals. Every day I'm with your family will look a bit different as the needs of you and baby shift. Support may include troubleshooting the nursing relationship, caring for baby while you nap or shower, playing with older siblings, doing light housework, listening to your birth story, recommending products or providers, prepping meals and snacks, taking baby for a walk, etc. I am also available for in-person lactation support. I also offer virtual support for those who will have plenty of physical support but would like to have a reliable resource for any questions or concerns that come up along the way. Lastly, I lead Breastfeeding Education classes and Postpartum Planning workshops to help you get prepared and feel confident!

Ratings and reviews
Sarah is amazing! She supported me through all the confusing and scary things of pregnancy and labor! Very kind and knowledgeable! Was there to answer every question I had! Was there to support and comfort me through having my breech baby turned and through labor! Stayed awake and by my side through the night to help me through my contractions and fears! She’s wonderful and I really don’t know what I would’ve done without her!

Sarah is a wonderful doula! Our experience with her was absolutely amazing. Sarah is a walking encyclopedia for taking care of a newborn. There is so much she taught us from milk storage, sanitation practices, baby wearing, and product recommendations just to name a few. And if there is something she didn't know, she researched and found the answers for us. Sarah was also so willing to help with anything we needed. She handled the overwhelm we were feeling as new parents with grace and helped alleviate our chaos, but never added to that overwhelm. She helped us feel at ease and was able to provide us with the knowledge we needed to best care for our baby boy. We would highly recommend Sarah to anyone with a new baby.

Sarah assisted me with postnatal questions and care. She truly listens to understand and knowledgably helped me learn what I needed to prepare for the postnatal season. She patiently answered all of my (many) questions about breastfeeding, infant sleeping, postpartum body changes, etc., and connected me with the resources needed. Thanks to Sarah, my anxiety went down as the fear of the unknown and that I was "missing" something disappeared. I highly recommend her! She is someone you want by your side!
