Sara
This is your unique and special birth experience and it is my goal to make sure you and you feel supported, informed and at ease.
Sara began her doula career years ago in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. After moving to Northern Virginia 7 years ago she joined the Balanced Birth Support team and is now one of our senior doulas!
Sara’s specialties lie in hypnosis for childbirth, teen parents, families in need, vaginal birth after cesareans and much more! As a childbirth educator she loves making sure the families she works with are comfortable with the birthing process and their options.
Sara doulas with great empathy, care, open mindedness and attention.
“My mission is to guide, support and educate gently with respect and empathy. Every birth is a clean slate regardless of past births or the first. Each birth is different and a right of passage. Flexibility is key and openness to reach the goal of healthy and happy mom, baby and partner.”Sara has three children. Emma 24 a graduate from VCU with a great job living in DC and Michael 22 a senior at VCU graduating this winter along with Nora 19 soon to be a sophomore at JMU. Sara loves to travel as much as she can. She also loves to cook and her family likes to eat!
