About Sara Kahlenberg:
​
"As a postpartum doula, I "mother the mother" while supporting and nurturing the entire family during the 4th trimester. I offer guidance and evidence-based information on newborn care and "typical" newborn behavior and development. I help with siblings and pets and provide practical assistance with light household chores.
I advocate for, encourage, listen to, and praise the new parents like a nonjudgemental best friend. I am a DONA International trained Postpartum doula and have a Master's Degree in Child Development with an Infancy Specialization from Erikson Institute."
With over 20 years of experience working with families and children of all ages,
Sara is also the mom of three children: twin daughters and a younger son.
