“The first days, weeks, months as a new mom are so tender and so raw. The energy and vibe in your home is of tremendous import -- which is why Sarah is the absolute best person (and the only person I wanted!) to have in your cocoon. There were so many days where I had no idea what I needed. Enter Sarah. She was phenomenal at reading my energy, looking around my home, and figuring out what, in that very moment, would make me feel supported. Moms need to be "mommed" too, Sarah is like a giant hug of support, kindness, practical advice and help that really creates the space for new moms to find the deep joy in those wild early months. She truly helped our growing family in Santa Cruz create a strong, stable, beautiful foundation in those early months. I cannot imagine how challenging it would have been without her. She's helped me find balance in my new identity, keeping the parts of my pre-mama self that I was missing and most wanted to maintain, and marrying that beautifully to this new role I was stepping into. If you are at all considering postpartum care and support, letting this magical human be your guide will be the best decision you make for your family and you.” - Peyton
My Work in the Santa Cruz community
I help women thrive during the beautiful, challenging and often overlooked transformation that is motherhood.
As a certified health coach, postpartum doula, massage therapist, and mother with a BS in Occupational Therapy, I support new mom’s in putting their well-being at the forefront during the transition of growing a family. I work with women during pregnancy to prepare for the postpartum period, and with women during postpartum to prevent and address conditions that lead to overwhelm and exhaustion.
With my extensive training in various healing modalities, I offer in-home postpartum support, massage therapy and health coaching either separately or combined in a way that will truly support you thriving.
As a postpartum doula, working in the Santa Cruz area, I help the whole family adjust by offering physical, emotional, and informational support during the fourth trimester. This can look like assisting with newborn care, tending to light household tasks, making small meals, engaging with siblings, helping make informed decisions, connecting clients to other professionals when necessary, and listening with a non-judgmental ear.
As a health coach, I help new mothers reorient themselves with their new body, identity, and life. I partner with each client to envision, plan, and implement small lifestyle changes that create big impact. Whether we are addressing exercise, eating habits, stress reduction, sleep, or scheduling time for solitude or friendship, we’ll implement empowering techniques that are sustainable for long-term success.
If you would like support that is founded on both science and sensitivity as you experience becoming a new mom, I look forward to hearing from you!
