Where The Prepared Birth works
Services families mention
“I started meeting with her while pregnant and she walked me through so much education on mental preparedness, postpartum care and so much more.”
“She anticipated our needs, guided us through each moment, and created a peaceful environment that helped us stay grounded throughout the birth.”
What families say again and again
“She went way deeper than the normal physical changes that happen during labor and postpartum (but was very great with this as well).”
“I started meeting with her while pregnant and she walked me through so much education on mental preparedness, postpartum care and so much more.”
“I truly cannot recommend Sarah, her classes, or anything she's associated with highly enough.”
“I also appreciate that she walked us through how to advocate for ourselves in a situation where our preferred labor plan might need to be changed.”
What families say
After having two unmedicated births, I was very anxious about delivering in a hospital this time. I was considered high-risk and had to switch to a hospital birth at the very end of my pregnancy, which made me feel even more uncertain about the whole experience.
We absolutely LOVED having Sarah with us for both of our babies births! We started out at TBI and transfered to Tacoma Gen for our first and ended up needing a V-back(?). Sarah was strong, advocated for me and my spouse and our little love the entire time.
We were hoping for an unmedicated birth at a birth centre but baby had other plans. He was breach and after a failed ECV we were booked for a planned c section. We are a military family so my husband and I don't have family here. Sarah was with us every step of the way!
We worked with Sarah as our birth doula and overall had a lovely experience! One of the biggest things we appreciated about Sarah was how much experience she brings. From our very first conversation, she was answering questions we didn’t even know we should be asking.
