I was looking for a postpartum doula and was recommended to Sarah as she was known locally in Reno for high quality care. Sarah is like your sister, mom, personal chef and friend all in one.

Sarah curated the most wonderful home cooked meals and helped me navigate the first weeks of motherhood. She offered nurturing, judgment free support that I'll always be thankful for. You can lean on her for whatever needs you are presented with and she made me feel comfortable from our first meeting.

Thank you Sarah for your services and support! We appreciate you

ANNA AND JUSTIN

“Sarah has worked for us for 7 months as a postpartum doula from the second week our baby was born. Sarah is a self-starter, and required minimal direction from us to immediately make an impact. This was highly valued during those sleepless first weeks!

She was always available to answer our anxious questions as new parents, and provided a great deal of invaluable advice and coaching. She was not only able to help care for our son, but she easily prepared delicious, healthy meals for my husband and me. In our family, we eat mostly pescatarian and gluten-free.

This was no obstacle for Sarah — she was able to come up with a unique, creative menu every single time. Some of our favorites included salmon, cod, tamales, ramen, pasta, and vegetarian bean burgers. She took care of grocery shopping for meals, helped with our baby while I napped or did things for myself and she prepared dinner.

She quickly became a trusted person in our little family. We started with two days a week and transitioned into one day a week when our baby got bigger. Mondays became my favorite day of the week as I knew Sarah would come.

Besides all the help and advice, she was fun to talk to, knew about my baby’s milestones, and provided us with additional ideas for nap time/bedtime. Our son was always happy when she came in and loved playing with her. We can highly recommend her services to any family with a baby.”

“I cannot express how helpful and crucial the support of Sarah was to our family. She was so gentle, kind and knowledgeable. I felt like I had a million questions when we got home with our baby girl and Sarah was so great in answering them, provided referrals to other community providers and resources that would help us, teaching us tips, tricks and skills, helping me navigate postpartum care. 

Everything she did helped make my husband and I feel confident in caring for our baby girl. We cannot thank her enough or express gratitude and the value of having her in our lives during this new chapter.”

“If there is one piece of advice I would give expecting moms and partners - it is to empower yourself with knowledge and build a community as it truly takes a village. Emily and Sarah’s Integrating Baby Series provided the foundational knowledge and connection that I needed to be a confident and happy Mom.

Through the series, my partner and I appreciated learning from professionally trained doulas, outside of friends and family,  that gave us the confidence to ask real questions and dig into the topics we were most interested in around the birthing process and parenting.

Additionally, as a recent transplant to Reno, Emily and Sarah were the community I needed. Not only did they provide me with support before and after the birth of our daughter but they connected us to more of the community - from lactation consultants to other mom groups.

My partner and I are so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with both Sarah and Emily and highly recommend their series.”

“I had Sarah as my postpartum doula and I feel so lucky to have had her support during the newborn phase with my 2nd baby. Knowing how exhausting and isolating motherhood is with a newborn, I sought out support and I am so happy and thankful I did.

Sarah was so easy to be with and so comforting. As supportive as a significant other is, to have Sarah come a few days a week and help me carry my mental load was essential for my health and recovery.

She would come into my home with a huge smile on her face, ask me how I was, if there was any laundry to be folded or dishes to be done, she would proactively do them. She would hold my son so I could shower, workout, cook dinner or just have a break from being the primary caretaker of my newborn. She helped me figure out and talk through so many things from how to work my breast pump to "do you think it's time to size up his diapers?" And all the other millions of questions that come up during postpartum.

When you have a newborn and sometimes days go by when you don't even step foot outside, let alone interact with another adult, it was so nice to have Sarah come and just feel like a friend was there to talk to who understands what you are going through.”

Monica and Nate

“We are two French dads and our son was born in Reno.  We thank heaven every day that we met Sarah and that she was able to be by our side because We honestly don't know what we would have done without her support, far from our family.  

From the first days of our son, Sarah helped us in our daily life where everything was new: changing a diaper, giving a baby bottle, carrying our son in a sling, swaddling... Sarah was very gentle and cuddling with our baby, whom she succeeded  fall asleep in minutes! 

Sarah was also very caring with us dads: she guided us through all the steps, allowed us to rest during this very tiring period.  Sarah was even available all the time, even on stressful Sundays!  - to answer our questions, reassure us, show us lots of tricks to take care of our baby, run errands for us... 

Today, Sarah is much more than our doula for us: she is a full member of our family.  If we are lucky enough to have a second baby in Reno, we won’t hesitate for a second to call on her.”
