Sandra is the kindest experienced person you could have on your birthing team. I had planned to have my baby via VBAC, but as usual in birth stories plans changed. Due to some cardiac concerns we decided to have a scheduled C-section. Sandra was the first to show up to the hospital. While preparing for surgery she never left my side. She massaged my feet and talked to me the whole time to ease my nerves. I’m glad that no matter how my birth experience went, she would be right there for support and assistance!

Sandra is a GODSEND!!! I couldn't imagine my birth story without her! She has helped guide me through my first pregnancy, birth, and even helping out overnight with my newborn. The guidance and advocacy she offers are unmatched, you will be very blessed to have her in the room with you. She truly is there for YOU and your baby. You are priority with Sandra and it is an amazing feeling to have such a great advocate by your side in such a vulnerable moment. My birth didn't end up going how I imagined, but it was still amazing because I had Sandra with me, advocating and helping me work through the pain. I recommend her 100000000/10! She will definitely be with me for all my future births!

Sandra was amazing. She was so professional, attentive, and listened to me about how I was feeling and what I wanted to try. She helped me stay calm and helped me through my whole labor. I asked her to encapsulate the placenta and I am so pleased with how it turned out.

Sandra is amazing! I hired her for a la carte doula services. I was 41 weeks and still no baby, she gave me a prenatal foot massage to help induce labor. She performed multiple massages during contractions. All services were fantastic. Sandra went above and beyond to make sure my first birth experience was exactly what I wanted it to be. I would not hesitate to hire her for every pregnancy moving forward.

Sandra was my birth doula. She was fantastic, very attentive and answered any and all questions I had about what was going on. She was also very helpful with speaking to the doctors and nurses and getting them all on the same page regarding my care. I saw her a few times while I was pregnant to receive prenatal massages and they were extremely helpful and I’d recommend those to everyone. Overall if I were to have another child I’d definitely want her on my team.

Hands down Sandra is one of the best People you will ever meet. I started seeing Sandra when I was about 30 Weeks pregnant for prenatal Massages and loved every minute of it Sandra was also my Birth Doula ( all Natural birth) I couldn't have done it without her the pain management and pressure point Massage during Labor was everything I needed. She did an amazing job with my Placenta encapsulation as well I will forever be thankful and can not recommend her enough.
