Hi! I'm Sara.
I'm a birth doula in Charlottesville, Virginia. I'm also a mother of two great children. I never would have understood how wonderful pregnancy and birth could be without them. Although my first child was born at Martha Jefferson Hospital and my son at home with a midwife, both of their births taught me that women can birth instinctively and without direction. It is this conviction that I wish to pass on to other prospective mothers and their partners. I hope to accomplish this through the sharing of evidence-based research and personal support during the labor and birth process.
Optimal nutrition during pregnancy and breastfeeding is also fascinating to me, and I enjoy sharing what I've learned with mothers-to-be in the hopes that they can have an enjoyable and healthy pregnancy. I especially have enjoyed the research of Weston A. Price, a dentist and researcher in the 1930's, who travelled the world to find what it was that made people healthy. The compilation of his findings, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, has specific application for the pregnant or nursing mother, and can contribute towards a more enjoyable pregnancy, birthing, and breastfeeding experience for baby and mom. Please see the section on Nutrition for more information on Dr. Price's research and other recent studies that support his findings.
I also make ring slings for you and your baby. Babywearing is one of my favorite ways to nurture, feed, and bond with my children. Ring slings are particularly versatile, as they are simple to use and extremely adjustable. Please see my sling website, www.batikbabyslings.weebly.com if you are interested in a beautiful custom ring sling.
