MyBirth

Learn about your pregnancy and birth. Work with doulas that will help realize the birth that's right for you. Build community. Explore your birth options.

It is an incredible gift to help a family welcome new life into the world. At MyBirth, we cherish the opportunity to support you through your journey to parenthood, whether you're welcoming your first child or introducing a sibling to your family. After a combined 20 years of doula experienced, we have all learned one certain thing: there is no right way to birth, just what is right for you. At the end, you will confidently say, "This was My Birth."

✨ Doula Testimonial ✨

“Working with Sarah was one of the best decisions we made during pregnancy. From the very beginning, she was incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. During pregnancy, she took the time to answer questions, share education and help us feel informed, empowered and confident going into labor.

During labor, her support was truly invaluable. She brought such a calming presence, helped us look at low intervention options and knew exactly how to support me physically and emotionally through every stage. Neither of us can imagine going through the experience without her steady encouragement and care. She was highly present during every minute of our long labor and we really felt that.

Sarah continued to provide such kind care postpartum. She checked in thoughtfully, offered reassurance during recovery and the newborn transition, and made us feel genuinely cared for beyond the birth itself.

If you’re looking for a doula who is compassionate, attentive, empowering, and deeply committed to her clients, I cannot recommend Sarah enough. We are so grateful for her support throughout this entire journey and couldn’t have imagined going through this process without her. Ultimately, hiring Sarah and feeling armed with all of the information we learned through her and mybirth classes, paired with a tiny bit of luck and baby cooperation, led us to have the type of birth we imagined and safely brought our son into this world and for that we couldn’t be more grateful!”
