Hi there!  I’m so glad you’ve clicked through this far and hope this helps you get to know me a little better.   

My story begins with a love for kids from when I was still a kid myself!  In 2008 I became a mom to 2 cute and tiny preemie twin boys and my struggles with breastfeeding began.  Those struggles (and subsequent struggles of varying types with my next 3 kids), instilled in me a passion for supporting new families through what is often the most intensely challenging time in their lives.

I have since been supporting families in the postpartum period for over10 years.  As a Certified Postpartum Doula, I address the shift of becoming a mother and all the chaos and beauty that comes with it! Newborn care and education for new parents, as well as household duties and opportunities for sleep are all important elements of my care. Although I am stepping back from my role as an IBCLC, I still support families with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, multiples, preemies and more. 

I am a fully mobile provider serving families in the greater Phoenix area of Arizona, both in person and virtually, and look forward to connecting with you soon. It would be an honor to support you on your postpartum journey.

And now, the obligatory background info:

When I’m not putting my passion to work supporting families, I am listening to BTS, pretending I have a green thumb, and learning about all things Japan. I live in Tempe, Arizona with my husband, Dr. William Clay, or “Mr. Bill” as his students call him- a freelance music instructor, published composer and professional musician. Our kids range from 11 to 18 years of age, spanning middle school to college, and enjoy a wide variety of activities and interests.

A note from Sarah…

Motherhood can hit hard. It comes when you feel like you are somewhat prepared, but still manages to catch you off guard. A little piece of your heart now lives outside of your body. Maybe you can’t seem to figure out who you are anymore. Maybe you just need someone to do the dishes so you don’t have to stare at them from where you sit feeding your baby for one more day.

I believe that it is so crucial to have good, grounded support for yourself and those around you during the postpartum timeframe.  I hope that my care provides that for you!  I place your goals first and foremost so that you know, without a doubt, you don’t have to do this alone!
