"What is done in love, is well done"
-Vincent Van Gogh
MY PHILOSOPHY
I believe that birthing people have the right to know their options through informed choice when it comes to pregnancy, labour, childbirth, and postpartum, and I fully support how my clients choose to birth and raise their babies. My hope is that every person I work with feels empowered as they welcome new life into this world. As the emotions that surround birth can be multifaceted, I believe myself to be a judgement-free person to express your feelings, experiences, hopes, plans and outcomes to. It continues to be an honour to be trusted with supporting families in such an expansive, intimate life experience, and I hope to offer ease, comfort, confidence, and ideally some humor throughout our time together.
TESTIMONIALS
"Labour with Sarah was my first experience with a doula, even though I already had one child and I had an idea how I wanted the childbirth to be. Sarah met with me and spent good two hours talking about my expectations and my birth plan. She explained things that I did not know in great detail and was supportive of my decision to attempt for the natural childbirth. She followed up with me during the last two weeks and ansered any questions I had. When the time came, she came to the hospital at 3 in the morning on a short notice, and was there until my second boy was born. Sarah has been very calming, supportive and caring during the process, helped relieve the pressure with the massage and the available tools she had. She was very patient, understanding and nurturing. It felt very comfortable and natural having her with me during one of the most uncomfortable processes. Sarah also supported us postpartum. She helped with anything we needed and anticipated me and my baby’s needs. I can’t say enough about how fortunate we have been to have Sarah during these times" - Elena
