"Zenith birth services made getting my placenta encapsulated hassle free and I am loving the benefits I am feeling from taking it.  After taking the capsules it feels like I have had a morning cup of coffee and that boost of energy is just what I need when taking care of a newborn and preschooler!"
~Emily

"I would definitely recommend placenta encapsulation to my friends.    Sarah made them very quickly so I could start taking them just a couple days after giving birth.  I have hardly had any of depressed feelings that I had after my last baby.  I felt back to my pre-pregnancy self after just a couple weeks and I only have a few more pounds to lose." 
~Laura

“Sarah was extremely helpful throughout the encapsulation process! She made herself available for any questions or concerns I had and was very prompt on returning my emails and encapsulating the pills. She took care of pick up and drop off which is so helpful right after having a newborn. I’m currently a month postpartum and feeling great with very few of the down mommy moments! I would highly recommend her services!”

"Sarah was already the doula at the birth of my first child. So when I got pregnant again, I directly knew that I wanted Sarah at the birth again. During labor she was a great resource. She suggested different positions to try and applied pressure to my lower back, which felt really good. She also was great in keeping me motivated during the birth. Both my husband and I really appreciated having her as a part of the birth team."

"My husband and I decided to have a doula since I was nervous of having a VBAC. I heard Sarah was a wonderful person to have as a doula. Our first visit was mostly a get-to-know-each other visit and my history of why I had a c-section with my first born. We also talked about what kind of delivery I desired to have for my VBAC. Our second visit was when Sarah taught me different positions during pregnancy and delivery. Our third visit was closer to my expected due date and we went over what to expect since I wanted a natural delivery.

When I was in labor, Sarah joined us and I instantly felt like everything was going to be okay. Sarah never left my side. She wrote some events down so we would have something to remember afterwards. During each contraction she talked to me in a calm and collected voice which calmed my nerves. She reminded me that I was going to meet my baby soon, which made me more excited than anxious. I remember at times, looking up at Sarah and she still had that same calm expression on her face and that helped me realize that I was going to be fine. When the contractions got intense, she encouraged me to stand up and wrap my arms around my husband's shoulders. Once I did that, my labor sped up and soon after that, I was ready to push.

21 minutes later, my 7 lb 14 oz baby boy was born. I remember first praising God that baby and I were okay and secondly thanking Sarah for coaching me through it.

Sarah came to our house for a follow-up visit a couple weeks later and answered any questions I had and gave me the events that happened during L/D day. Sarah is kind and smart, and a wonderful listener! She is an amazing doula!"

"My husband and I were very blessed to have had Sarah by our side during the birth of our son Luke! She was very supportive of what WE wanted during our birth experience from the start. She met with us a few times prior to my due date and helped me to find some positions/techniques that we could use during labor if I wanted to. We practiced these so I was mentally prepared. I called Sarah very late at night to tell her I was in labor, and just the sound of her voice was calming and reassuring. When we arrived at the hospital I felt comfortable with her to give my husband and me ideas for relaxation techniques. She reminded me of what I had desired in my birth plan, which was very helpful during the intense times of labor. She never left me for any reason at the hospital, other than using the restroom. She was a very good resource for my husband. He was my main supportive coach and having her with us just seemed to seal our emotions and the "what if's?" of our birth experience. After Luke was born, she met again with us to make sure we were all doing ok physically and emotionally. Sarah is also very well-versed in other resources in this area if you are interested. She let me borrow a book from her lending library afterwards and has checked up on me several times. Sarah is caring and kind. A great supporter and doula to have at your birth!"

"Sarah Oldre was the doula at the birth of my son and I really liked having her there. She met with us before, so we could get to know her and to discuss what she offers as well as our birth plan. Her knowledge as well as calm personality were very helpful during labor and delivery. It was also great to have somebody with me while my husband went to get food, etc. In addition she also met with us again about a month later at our home to follow up and answer any baby related question we had. For both me as well as my husband she served as the extra support and encouragement during the birth, especially as this was the birth of our first child. We are very thankful for her service and I can definitely recommend her as a doula!"
