About

Hi, I'm Sarah — a certified birth and postpartum doula serving families in Nashville, Tennessee. My husband and I have lived here since 2011, and it's where we've welcomed all three of our children.

I believe birth is a sacred experience, worthy of calm and thoughtful support. Having given birth three times myself, I carry a deep respect for the strength and vulnerability of labor — and for the truth that no two births are the same. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. My role is to offer steady presence, evidence-based guidance, and reassurance so you and your partner feel informed, confident, and free to ask for what you need.

Outside of birth work, you'll find me soaking up sunshine, floating in any bit of beautiful water I can find, staying active, cooking at home, and enjoying good food with friends.

Testimonials

"Sarah was everything that an expecting mother hopes their doula or birth coach will be: steady, educated, calm, supportive, and warm. There was not one moment where I did not feel completely empowered, intently listened to, and like I was her fullest priority."

"Much like hiring a decorator for a home, I want to urge every mom to hire a doula like Sarah to make the picture in your head come to life. She helped give me language for what I wanted, advocated for my preferences, and allowed me to be completely in my body and out of my head for the birth of my daughter. Your birth is beautiful and worth investing in, and I wish everyone could have someone like Sarah there for them like she was for me."
