Hello, my name is Sara McNeill. I am the mother of two wonderful children born with the support of a doulas. I think that every woman and her family can benefit from the support of a doula and believe that birth is a natural, healthy, and personal experience that should be honored and treated with respect.

I am currently working as an RN and studying to be a nurse-midwife at the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing. I have planned to become a midwife and wanted to be a part of the birthing process for as long as I can remember. However, it wasn't until I became pregnant with my son that I considered becoming a doula. My experience was so positive and my doula had such an impact on both me and my husband that I decided this was something that I wanted to do.

I am honored every time I am asked to share in this special time. I strive to help women give birth with confidence and create an atmosphere where women can feel safe and their choices respected.
