Hello, I'm Sarah!

As an experienced Birth and Bereavement Doula, I offer personalized support for birth in any trimester. My goal is to give you and your family the attention and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your pregnancy and labor process.

My Story

I don’t remember when I became interested in birth. I think it may be because of my own strange birth story (my twin is two months older than me). I grew up hearing our story, so I’ve always been intrigued by birth stories.

When I was 9 or 10, my parents best friends had their baby in our house. That was my first exposure to birth as a normal, natural process. Looking back, I think that was the first time I realized birth didn’t have to be a scary emergency.

As I’ve gotten a little older, I’ve realized how much the world uses fear to control women. And I wanted to do something to help give women hope and to show them that they don’t have to be controlled by fear.

When I learned about the profession of “doula,” it just clicked. I could build a relationship with women and be in the pregnancy & birth world at the same time? Yes please!

In early 2021, I lost my first baby to miscarriage. I felt alone and scared at that time. I never want anyone else to be alone during pregnancy loss, so I added bereavement to my doula services. My hope is to be able to provide the support that I did not have.

So here I am, Sarah Lingle — Birth and Bereavement Doula.

I’d love to answer any questions you have about what a doula is or how I can serve you through your pregnancy, birth, or loss!
