Sara provided doula services for me during my pregnancy and birth. She was very kind, patient and listened to me when i expressed my personal needs. She worked hard to provide me a safe and quiet place during labor. The way she advocated for me is something I truly missed out on during my previous pregnancy. She brought so many goodies, essential oils, honey sticks and provided plenty of massages. She just knew what i needed and it really helped to have her there. When i think back to the birth of my son i can hear her voice reassuring me through the process, so nurturing and affirming!

Sara helped us take care of our 6 week old daughter. She was looking after my child during the nights. In the first few days itself, I aligned my preferences with Sara - and she also gave me a few tips. She was awake at night taking care of my daughter and would manage the process very well. We got super comfortable with her very quickly. Thanks to Sara I was able to get peaceful night's sleep, and even managed to step out of home a few times.
