Meet Your ProDoula

Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: For ten years prior to the pandemic, I was an Occupational Therapist in rehab facilities and in private homes helping people regain their independence in their daily lives after an illness or injury. Through this work, I learned how to analyze an environment or an activity and adapt it so that people could overcome their obstacles. I learned to connect with people facing hardships, experiencing pain, and undergoing transition in their lives.

What led you to become a Doula?: I have always felt my calling was to help people, but I have longed for more than what corporate healthcare could offer me. I have three children of my own, who have given me a wealth of personal experiences related to pregnancy, labor, postpartum anxiety, and over three total years of breastfeeding and its challenges. My personal and professional experiences as well as my passion for supporting the postpartum journey have all led me here, and I couldn’t be happier!

What are some positive comments made about you by other people?:

“Sarah is the most genuine human I have ever met. Her heart shines through in everything she says to help you through motherhood and breastfeeding. Without her, I would have barely made it the first month breastfeeding. Before talking with Sarah I felt my concerns were being dismissed by my doctor and pediatrician. Sarah made me feel heard and worked with me to figure out solutions to help me meet my goals. I cringed every time is was time to nurse, and within a few days of working with Sarah my body was healing and my baby and I got into a rhythm that made everything better for BOTH of us. We made it 13 beautiful months of breastfeeding and I am eternally grateful for Sarah and her natural ability to help others.” Melissa M.
