About me

Hello I'm Sarah, a birth and postpartum doula in Los Angeles and founder of Ever Wilde Doula. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. My approach balances honoring physiology with pragmatism and zero dogma. Every family deserves to feel respected, supported, and held, no matter their path. I’m very passionate about helping parents navigate the modern maternity system and understanding their options in a non-biased way, providing trauma-informed support, promoting individualized care and centering the birthing parent in their care. In addition to my doula work, I am also a certified perinatal patient advocate and am well equipped to speak to my client's providers on their behalf to convey their wishes and advocate for their informed consent. I help parents gather ALL the information they need to make values-based decisions, and help them get safe to make the choice that is right for them, without pressure or coercion. I’m equally passionate about providing postpartum support and believe in continuity of care from birth through postpartum, which is why I automatically include 8 hours of postpartum care for all my birth clients. I love to cook, nurture, and care for people, so supporting families in this season of profound vulnerability and healing deeply fills my cup.
