Sarah is a birth & postpartum doula, lactation educator counselor, birth center assistant, and owner of Nurtured in Joy Birth Services, where she has served families for over five years. She loves to equip and support families to have the birthing experience that they desire. As a mother of four, Sarah understands both the challenges and joys associated with birth and the postpartum period. Her addition to the birth team gives families the added guidance and confidence that serves to help make their birthing day the absolute best event that it can be.

Sarah is trained by CAPPA as a labor doula and has a wide array of experience ranging from VBAC support, inductions, natural birth, clients using Hypnobirthing, Hypnobabies and The Bradley Method, as well as cesarean birth support. She attends births at all Colorado Springs hospitals, Beginnings Birth Center, as well as home births with a certified midwife. When she's not assisting families during their birthing season, you’ll likely find her enjoying the outdoors with her children or bouldering at the climbing gym.
