I Didn’t Just Witness the Shift. I Lived It.
I didn’t become a doula because my first birth went exactly as planned.
I became a doula because it showed me just how much support can shape the way a woman experiences birth.
My water broke 55 hours before my baby was born. The journey that followed was long and difficult, with five hours of pushing, bright lights, wires, and moments that felt overwhelming. The golden hour didn't look like I had imagined, and I didn't feel strong enough to hold my baby.
And yet, when I look back, I still see so much beauty in that birth.
I remember the strength it required. I remember the moment my baby entered the world. And I remember how everything shifted when my doula walked into the room. I felt seen, grounded, and reminded of the strength I already carried.
That experience showed me the power of having someone in your corner who knows birth. Not someone who takes over or tells you how your birth should unfold, but someone who helps you understand your options, trust your intuition, and find your voice through every unexpected turn.
Then came my second birth — the one that showed me what is possible.
I labored at home, pushed for 15 minutes, and walked out of that hospital feeling like I’d just run errands, not birthed a whole baby. No tearing. No trauma. Just strength, support, and peace.
That’s why I do this — to help you find your fierce. To show you that this birth can be different. To bring calm and even some laughs into your birth space. Because I’ve lived both sides of the story. And I want you to write your own. Find your fierce. That’s not just a brand — it’s my story. And maybe it’s yours too.

Words That Made Me Cry Into My Coffee (In the Best Way)
I cannot say enough amazing things about our doula, Sarah! We welcomed our second baby, Violet, on November 15, 2025, and she was my VBAC baby. Our first daughter, Venice, was born in September 2024 via a planned C-section. I had hoped for an unmedicated vaginal birth, but she was in a transverse position, and after a failed ECV, a C-section was the safest option.
Like so many moms, I had always heard that once you have a C-section, you’ll likely always have a C-section. Thankfully, I had a provider who truly wanted me to have the birth I hoped for. Although he couldn’t offer a VBAC himself, he worked hard to switch me to another provider at 32 weeks pregnant—very late in the game. My second provider was fully on board for a VBAC, which I was incredibly grateful for, but I knew I wanted extra support since this would essentially be my first vaginal birth. That’s when Sarah came into our lives! Sarah took us on at 36 weeks pregnant, which felt like a miracle in itself. I had very little hope that any doula would accept us so late, but she did—without hesitation. She immediately got us scheduled for calls, met us at a coffee shop for over an hour, and not only helped calm and hold our screaming toddler, but truly listened to all of our wants, fears, and goals for this birth.
When my water broke at 5 a.m., Sarah answered immediately and rushed to the hospital. She was there while we were still in triage and would have met us wherever we needed her. From start to finish, she supported me every single step of the way. When contractions became too intense for me to advocate for myself, she did it for me. She asked thoughtful, thorough questions, helped me process decisions, and gave me the space to talk through everything. She empowered me every step of the way. Sarah went above and beyond in ways I didn’t even know were possible. She wasn’t just our doula—she’s now our friend. I truly cannot imagine giving birth without a doula ever again. She is our girl!!!
I am endlessly thankful that she took us on with such short notice, that she supported us so fully, and that because of her (and the incredible team at Sarasota Memorial Health), our beautiful daughter Violet is now in our arms. I achieved my VBAC dream just 13 months after a C-section, something many people told me wasn’t possible.
Sarah honestly makes me want a million more babies in the future. Shoutout to Sarah and Sarasota Memorial for helping us achieve every dream we had for our second birth. We are forever grateful. Our family loves you Sarah!

Sarah was instrumental in our experience bringing our daughter into a world full of abundance and love. She got to know us and provided a lot of useful info to help us orient towards a birth plan and on the day of delivery she spent the entire day and evening with us ensuring a successful process. Literally could not have had nearly this positive of an experience without her and she went above and beyond on multiple occasions to help us through some scary or unknown parts of the birth and postpartum process. Wonderful person who we are forever grateful for.

If you’re questioning hiring a doula for labor/delivery, here’s your sign to do it. My first birthing experience I did not feel in control. I was blindly laboring without any education or knowledge of what to do. I was relying on instinct alone. I knew for my second birthing experience I wanted to feel more prepared. Sarah took the time to make sure we were in the know of what my capabilities were, prepared us for what to expect and showed us exercises to engage baby and also breathing techniques. Not only was she there physically, but emotionally and spiritually. She was a compassionate friend, a coach, and a helper. I wouldn’t have been able to go as far into labor unmediated as I did without her there. Although I did receive an epidural, Sarah pushed me farther past the point I could have gone myself. We are so thankful for her and so thankful we decided to hire a doula for our birth! Don’t hesitate, just do it!

I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough! She was absolutely incredible throughout the birth of my daughter. From start to finish, she was supportive, calm, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond in every way.
She made me feel heard, empowered, and cared for during one of the most important moments of my life. She used so many thoughtful comfort techniques — bringing essential oils, a birthing comb, and providing counter pressure exactly when I needed it most. I also had a couple scary moments throughout my experience, and she helped keep me calm and got me through them with reassurance, steady support, and confidence.
Whether it was physical comfort, emotional support, or guidance for both me and my partner, she was always one step ahead and fully present.
If you are considering working with a doula, I would choose her again in a heartbeat. I am so grateful she was part of my birth experience.

When I found out I was pregnant with our daughter, I knew I wanted an unmediated and natural birth. After one phone call with Sarah, I knew she was the perfect match for us to help me achieve that goal.
Leading up to our birth, Sarah was there to answer the phone any time I called or texted with a question- which was VERY often!
I went into labor at 39 weeks, and from my first contraction to the delivery of our baby girl Sarah coached me on birthing positions, breathing techniques, and how to surrender to the pain and let my body do the work. I truly would not have been able to achieve my unmedicated delivery without her. Every time I wanted to quit, she pushed me further and made me believe I could do it.
Our daughter was born with a shoulder dystocia and was emergency transferred to John Hopkins in Saint Pete. Sarah stayed with me and my husband hours after delivery to ensure we were okay and supported. She continues to show up for me with questions about breastfeeding, this new phase of motherhood, and navigating postpartum even still.
What started as just a doula has become a friendship near and dear to my heart.
If you are considering booking- just do it. You will be in the best hands and have someone by your side who genuinely cares for you and your family.

Sarah is hands down the best doula we could have ever asked for — God truly blessed us by sending her our way.
Our labor was long and intense (54 hours!), but Sarah was there from the very first contraction until our baby was born. She never left our side. She supported me physically by helping with positions, holding my legs while I pushed right alongside my husband, and making sure I never felt alone for even a moment. She was just as much there for my husband too — giving him breaks when he needed them and keeping us both encouraged the whole time.
Sarah’s calm, understanding energy made me feel completely safe to be myself. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and advocated for everything I wanted in my birth plan. She asked the right questions, gently stepped in when needed, and never let me second-guess myself. Mentally, emotionally, and physically, she carried me through the hardest experience of my life.
What meant the most to me was her faith. As a woman of God, she prayed with and for me during labor, and her presence brought so much peace and strength. She felt more like a sister than just a doula.
Sarah also encapsulated my placenta for me. She took it home with her after the birth, turned it into beautiful, high-quality vitamins, and delivered them to our home in a lovely package. I’ve been taking them postpartum and can honestly say they’ve helped me so much with my recovery. If you’re considering placenta encapsulation, I highly recommend having Sarah do it — especially since she’s already there supporting you!
My husband and I both agree — we couldn’t thank Sarah enough. She’s a mom of two beautiful children herself, and you can truly feel the love and experience she brings. If you’re thinking about hiring a doula, stop searching. Sarah is the one. We already know that if we’re blessed with more children, she’ll be right by our side again.
Thank you, Sarah, from the bottom of our hearts. You made our birth story beautiful.

Sarah was an amazing resource for my husband and myself!
This was our first child, so our midwives insisted that we hire a doula for physical, and emotional support during our labor, so the midwife could focus on helping us with the delivery. We found Sarah and are so glad we did!
We had a planned home birth so that we wouldn't feel pressured into interventions during a very vulnerable time, which made all natural the only option. I honestly don't think we could have done this without her! I had mentally prepared, and educated myself on different positions and techniques- but once I was in Laborland it was so difficult to be mentally present and call to mind all that I had learned.
She coached my husband and me through it all. My husband says that Sarah and him had great communication during the laboring process. She suggested different positions to us, and noticed every time that I tensed up and would gently remind me to relax and focus on my breath. She repeated my affirmations to me, and reminded me to lean into my faith, which is very important to me and got me through my 14 hour labor. She captured pictures of my husband supporting me through labor, which was such a blessing to see after, as I felt I wasn't there mentally.
If you're considering hiring a doula, I would definitely recommend Sarah!
