Testimonials.

  • Lauren. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

    Having Sarah as our Doula, undoubtedly was one of the best decisions we had made regarding our pregnancy. The knowledge and support pre and postnatal was incredible, especially during birth. Sarah walked both myself and my husband through all the ‘what to expect’ moments, taught us alternative methods for maximum comfort leading up to the hospital and guided us when things did not go as planned. I felt safe, secure and confident in the decisions we had to make during our birthing experience. She advocated for me in the hospital when I needed it and supported my husband throughout the whole process. Not only did Sarah provide an abundance of resources during pregnancy, but she was available for questions and concerns when our little baby arrived and supported us through the new journey of parenthood. It was an incredible experience working with her and would highly recommend having Sarah as your Doula!

  • Annie. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

    Sarah is thorough in her pre-labour preparation, and as a detail-oriented person I really appreciate that. She was consistently present for us leading up to and at the birth, answering questions and finding resources at any point that we inquired or she thought it would be helpful. She was always one step ahead of getting answers to our questions. Thrust into an unexpected precipitous home delivery, Sarah was able to provide a calming voice and relaxing touch for myself and my partner during chaos. We are happy to have chosen a doula and proud to have had it be Sarah, who is now happily ingrained in one of our life's most momentous experiences. Thank you Sarah!

    Sarah was everything our family needed during the immediate postpartum period and beyond. She is professional, resourceful, and personable and anticipates your needs in the best way. She was excellent at reading our newborn’s cues and highly knowledgeable about all things baby and postpartum. We would highly recommend Sarah!

  • Asma. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

    Sarah had been amazing! She had knowledge about everything that I wanted to understand about the birth, she guided me where-ever I felt lost, helped me bear through the intense pains. If I ever have a baby again, I am definitely going for Sarah!

  • Julia. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

    Sarah Rioux was our doula during the birth of our first child. She was very helpful and informative. We went into the birthing experience very comfortable because of the discussions and preparation that we had before hand. And during the delivery, Sarah was present and assisted as we have discussed. Overall, we had a very pleasant birthing experience, and Sarah was a big part of the reason why.

    Sarah is one of the most amazing people you will ever meet and work with! We hired her for night support during the first few months of our daughter's life and it was the best decision ever! She was excellent with our little one and so helpful in caring for her between feedings at night, making sure that her diaper was changed and reporting back what happened each night so we could be ready for the day ahead. As a new mom, I had many questions and Sarah was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive in helping us navigate through the first few months of parenthood. Truly don't know what we would have done without her!
