The Nostalgic Doula

We asked Sarah to be part of our birthing circle quite late on into our pregnancy as I was getting nervous about the feeling of lack of control I had once my pregnancy was deemed high risk. I needed someone else on my side to help understand my wishes and who could be another voice for me during birth if I was otherwise busy (as in, birthing a baby!) Sarah was with us for my whole 3 day labour as a guiding light for us with the crazy ups and downs and even when things went off plan, because of her careful and diligent planning with us beforehand my sons birth was incredible, beautiful and empowered. Best decision we could have made!

Sarah is just wonderful. She was our doula and photographer at our homebirth a few weeks ago and the graceful and quiet way she protected our birth space was wonderful. All the support she provided us with during the pregnancy and in the lead up to the birth was invaluable and I cant recommend her enough to anyone considering a doula for their pregnancy and birth. The photos she took to document the birth beautifully captured the atmosphere and well always cherish them. Well certainly be in touch if we decide to have a third baby!

Sarah was an amazing support for both myself and my husband throughout our early parenthood journey. She educated us about labour, birth and beyond, ensuring we felt confident and positive. Throughout the long labour and birth she was an incredible birth partner. She was very calm and reassuring and always asked the right questions. She ensured that no matter how our labour developed we felt positive and safe. After the birth of our son her postnatal support was outstanding. She was there every step of the way in those early days, offering advice and support. We cannot thank Sarah enough or speak more highly of her. We truly believe all couples on their birth journey need a Sarah!

Sarah has been such a wonder, helping us as a night doula with our little one (who doesn't have the sleeping skill!). Sarah has been a huge positive in our lives over the last 18 months, helping our small human with night weaning (amazingly, she was able to night wean him with no tears), and enabling him to develop more independent sleeping skills. Sarah brings so much genuine warmth and kindness, and has been a huge help in our parenting journey, guiding us with her wisdom, and enabling us to be better parents because we've had some sleep.

We feel so fortunate having had Sarah by our side during pregnancy, birth and during the fourth trimester. Both myself and my husband learned much (from guidelines, hypnobirthing and learning to advocate for ourselves and our baby) felt supported and most importantly we were empowered at every single step and I could safely tap into my instincts and make conscious choices along the way. To someone looking from the outside, my pregnancy and birth were not straight forward and text book, but I absolutely loved the whole journey and I am sure having an advocate by our side played a huge part to me feeling I had such a positive experience! I'd absolutely recommend Sarah as your doula. Learn, educate yourselves and have this kind, knowledgeable and strong doula by your side along the way!!
