Read What Clients Have To Say

Picture
"Sarah was incredible.  Through our meetings and suggested reading, I was much more aware of my goals and plan entering labor and better able to communicate these to my spouse and healthcare team.  When I went into to labor she was easily reached and quickly made it to my side. The nurses enjoyed working with her and she was able to help naturally jump start my labor when it stalled out and helped keep me and my husband focused through active labor.  Without her calm direction and encouragement, I would not have succeeded in my goal to have a natural labor. I relied heavily on the TENS unit she lent me both during and after birth; and appreciated her checking on me postpartum.  I also greatly appreciate the pictures she took during labor while the rest of us were too distracted. I recommend Sarah without reservation. She tailors her services to each client's individual needs and personality, finding a method in labor that best fits their goals and personality."

" Sarah was wonderful!  She was prompt and professional and also very nurturing and responsive.  She brought with her a wealth of knowledge about childbirth and was happy to share ideas and resources.  I delivered my baby in a hospital and although I was induced I was still able to have the natural, drug free delivery that I wanted.  Sarah helped make our birth experience calm and peaceful, and her support and encouragement was so helpful.  This was my third child and by far my best delivery, and my husband and I both were extremely thankful to have Sarah there for encouragement and support. "    - A.E.

"I can’t sing Sarah’s praises enough! Sarah coached me helping me prepare to welcome our sweet Rainbow Baby. She educated my husband and I regarding various birth options, helped us build our birth preferences, discussed comfort measures, and provided us with valuable resources for the last few weeks of pregnancy. Most importantly, she helped build my confidence to labor naturally after a traumatic labor with my five year old. Sarah's calming presence, comforting hands, knowledge of natural birthing techniques, and overall supportive nature provided for a beautiful birth experience. My husband and I are forever grateful for her AMAZING support through all phases (pregnancy, labor/delivery, & postpartum) of welcoming our newest addition."     - J.C.
               
"Many people want or need different things from their doula. In my situation I got exactly what I needed and asked for- her presence, emotional support, her calm, encouragement and help during the long induction process. One thing I love abut Sarah is that she is equipped to help in so many ways but she listens to what you ask for and supports you the way that you ask for and need. On a professional note I was also impressed with how she communicates and follows through. Her professionalism through communication and availability to me were things that stood out to me when I was interviewing doulas- but honestly the reason I choose her was because I really felt she cared. She is the perfect blend of professionalism and heart."    - M.M.

"I was led to Sarah by my midwife. My significant other and I met her and immediately felt comfortable. She's easy to talk to and she knows her stuff! Sarah was there to answer any questions I had throughout my pregnancy. I carried 16 days past my due date, which was emotionally and physically exhausting. Sarah would check in on me often, supporting me, allowing me to vent and share my emotions. During my labor, she support not only me, but my significant other & family. She answered questions presented by my family and friends who were in attendance and communicated with my midwife. She recommended many different positions to ease the pain of contractions....helped me breathe through my contractions, made sure I ate and stayed hydrated, and took pictures throughout the entire labor and delivery (17 hrs). I had arranged to have my placenta encapsulated postpartum, and Sarah was gracious enough to deliver it to the lady for the encapsulation process. I am so very grateful to have had Sarah's support, expertise and knowledge during my home birth. She was a constant reminder that I could do this! I could bring my baby into the world! I recommend Sarah to EVERYBODY I know looking for a doula, and she will be present for every delivery of mine. Thank you SO much, Sarah!!! I can not put into words how much your presence meant to me!"    - M.E.

" Sarah was very helpful in going through various laboring options beforehand and that education definitely eased my mind once delivery day arrived.  She was also very nonjudgmental in presenting the different choices so that I felt supported in whichever route I would choose.  My labor progressed fairly quickly and I was blown away by the intensity of it--but I'm so glad Sarah was there with her calming presence.  I appreciated immensely the photos she took at our birth and the labor log she made was an unexpected gift for us. In addition, the support she's given us postpartum has been a lifesaver.  She has helped keep our household afloat with meal preparation and always has the magic touch to get our baby calm as can be!"     - L.L. 

" Sarah was absolutely amazing. From the first meeting to the postpartum visit, I felt so comfortable with her! She is passionate about her care for her clients and it shows. She is that perfect tender yet confident doula I was searching for! She was great at communication, was always available, quick to respond and fast in her arrival to my labor! Her touch was perfect. Those hip squeezes got me thru transition. "    - S.C.

​" I'd never heard of a doula before and was introduced to this concept by a good friend of mine.  My husband and I read into it and decided we wanted a natural birth (vaginal with no meds) and wanted to hire a doula....I'm of the mindset that everything happens for a reason...Sarah was put in our path for a reason.  We met Sarah and fell in love with her and decided to use her services.  The day I started to have active labor contractions....my husband called Sarah and she coached him until it was time for her to come to my house.  When she got here, she knew exactly what to do.  I felt totally comfortable with her and knew I was in good hands.  When we arrived at the hospital, she was always on top of everything.  Her massages, right words, telling me not to fight the contraction, etc. were always on point.  Thanks to Sarah's services, I had a natural birth just like I wanted.  Even after our daughter was born, she was still on top of it providing the support I needed.  She visited me after the birth and stayed in touch to make sure I was ok.  I would highly recommend Sarah as a doula and would use her again if i were to give birth here in Colorado Springs.  Sarah...thank you again for EVERYTHING! "    - M.C.

" Sarah was compassionate, understanding and empowering as I labored and eventually had my little one by c-section.  She was so helpful and encouraging throughout the entire time and helped my husband and I try many laboring positions which were good for me and baby.  Sarah's kind and caring approach supported our goals for labor for which I am so grateful. "    - M.J. 

" I had a great experience with Sarah as my doula! I was very impressed with the emotional support she offered as well as how proactive she was in looking for ways to serve during my labor and afterwards. Sarah is skilled in empathy and intuition and also at anticipating needs, which is great because during labor, I did not always know what I needed in the moment. I felt that Sarah's presence helped give me confidence and assurance as I labored. My family and I felt that she genuinely cared about us, by checking in on us before and after labor as well as getting to know us on a personal level. Sarah is a fabulous doula and I highly recommend her! "    - S.T. 

" Sarah was a great doula and I am so glad that she was there to assist me! We found her only about three weeks before my due date but she really took the time to get to know me and what I wanted out of this childbirth experience. She asked detailed questions to better understand me and my goals. She also provided a wide variety of tools and was a fantastic resource for pain management techniques. Although my labor and delivery were very quick, she was always available and we were in constant communication. Sarah was able to meet us at the hospital and was right there to assist in any way she could. It was a relief to have her there to communicate any needs/concerns. I am so happy that she was my doula, I couldn't have asked for anyone better! "    - K.P.
