Testimonials
As a plus-sized woman, going to yoga classes has been a hit-or-miss endeavor for me over the years. Sarah's classes have been the first experience for me where I didn't feel self-conscious, judged or shamed for what my body could or couldn't do. I just got to enjoy the benefits.

Sarah was an amazing resource and support throughout our birthing journey. She has an incredible intuition for saying and doing just the right things at the right times. I appreciated all the little things she did to make my birth more comfortable and she helped motivate me to get through the tough times. She also did a great job of involving my husband and making sure this was our special time as well. Sarah has a true gift and anyone would be lucky to have her present at their birth!

Sarah was pivotal in picking up what my body needed to help labor progress during my homebirth and her encouragement is what helped prevent the pain from getting a hold on me.
— Elizabeth
The group support/educational sessions during pregnancy were great. Sarah is an amazing listener and she always makes me feel completely heard and understood. Although our son and I had no health complications, it was a difficult birth for many reasons and Sarah was a bright light both during/shortly after labor and she continues to be instrumental in helping me process the experience and take what I want from it and letting go of the rest. She has that magical mix of being kind and gentle but also a fierce advocate for her clients. Can’t recommend her enough.

Sarah's heart centered, intuitive, affirming approach to supporting pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period has touched my heart and my family in the most beautiful way. She has the rare gift of being able to read the energy and needs of people, while at the same time guiding and leading with a light touch. Sarah was my most beloved yoga teacher during my first pregnancy, and when that birth ended in an unplanned c-section her wisdom helped me process and heal emotionally from that experience. Her workshop that I took during my second pregnancy was the single best birth education course I have experienced, and my wife and I were so moved by it that we decided to hire her as our doula for our second birth. While she was unable to be at the actual birth due to a family emergency, her network of doulas sprung into action on our behalf when labor began and the doula who was with us was wonderful and instrumental in our unmedicated VBAC birth. Sarah's support in the post-partum period was so valuable as we transitioned to a family of four, and she again helped me process the incredibly complex, powerful, emotional experience of birthing. I *highly* recommend Sarah as a doula and educator; she is a true gift to birthing families.

As new parents to be we did not know what to expect and were overwhelmed with information. We had heard about Doulas and halfway through the pregnancy we decided to interview a handful of Doulas. Sarah was our first choice based on her commitment to the process, sincere approach and calming influence. After reading books and taking classes we were even more confused and scared. So much advice and personal opinions out there. Our first meeting with Sarah instantly put us at ease. She asked thoughtful questions and really took the time to know us and how we envisioned the birth process. I think the best part about our first meeting was Sarah asked what was important to us and actively listened. Sarah was available anytime we had questions leading up to our BIG DAY! :)
Once we went into labor Sarah was there to guide us. From staying in the comfort of our home as much as we could to the long hours at the hospital. Once we arrived at the hospital Sarah was there waiting for us. She was able to connect with the staff, advocate for us and help to create a calming environment. Father found it VERY impressive that Sarah took notes during the entire labor in order to share our birth story. Overall, Sarah made mom and dad feel they were strong enough to give birth to a beautiful baby and walk away confident.
After the birth of our lovely daughter Sarah made an in-home visit. We talked and remembered the process and she answered new questions in regards to breastfeeding, sleep, etc.
We highly recommend Sarah to any couple during their birth journey! Wow, was she fantastic!
