I can’t say enough about both Sarah and Charli! My husband Tyler and I had the pleasure of having Charli as our doula and Sarah as one of our attending midwives throughout my prenatal care and birthing process. As a first-time mom, I felt so lucky to be in their care! They both have a calm, grounding energy, are friendly and positive, and have abounding knowledge that can put even a hormonal pregnant and laboring woman at ease. I am so thankful to have gotten to have them both as a part of my journey into motherhood. Even when a few complications arose, they took care of us with diligence and grace. For every woman who’s chosen to have them both as your midwives, consider yourself so blessed. They are sure to provide a beautiful, safe experience for you and your family, as they were for me, Tyler, and our new daughter Grey. Thank you endlessly, Sarah and Charli! And who knows, we may be seeing yo both again if baby number two ever comes along! —Dani
The care that we received from Sarah and Charlie as a family, and I as an individual, is beyond compare. In the months leading up to delivery I received compassionate and individualized care in their cozy office as well as our home. Having a team like these two midwives helped me move forward with confidence in every step of my pregnancy. They were always available to answer questions and help me with any concerns. When you work with Sarah and Charlie to get their time and attention in a way that feels complete and fully focused.
Labor doesn’t always go as planned and in my case we did wind up having to transfer to the hospital. Sarah and Charli stayed with me for the whole experience and because of their sensible and cautious approach I was able to have the birth I wanted even if we weren’t at home. My experience at the hospital was a positive one in part because I had my midwife team with me to answer any questions I had and to advocate for me if I needed it. We were lucky to have a wonderful nurse working with us that both Sarah and Charlie had worked with in the past. I think it’s important to acknowledge that my midwives’ connections in the wider birth and medical community helped make the transfer a more calm, peaceful, and happy occasion rather than something scary or upsetting. My midwives were with us every step of the way and their care leading up to birth prepared us for the changes and challenges we faced. —Abigail
At 34 weeks, we decided to hire Sarah & Charli as our midwife team (after a late decision to have a home birth instead of a hospital birth), and we could not have been happier with our decision. Not only did they immediately make us feel comfortable with our decision, but really focused on getting to know us and our vision for this birth right away. Given our first baby was born in the hospital, they helped educate us on what to expect, and were a great team to have during labor – they were pretty hands off during laboring, but immediately took the lead when baby’s heart tones were not great and when I had a small hemorrhage after delivering the placenta. I felt informed, supported, empowered – and in great hands. I also really loved the post-natal care (multiple home visits, frequent text message check-ins, etc.). For low risk moms considering a home birth, I HIGHLY recommend these two! —Paige
