So you'll be prepared, confident, and cared for​.
Birth Words
You can harness the power of positive words to benefit your birth experience! Through Birth Words, I invite you to by intentional, reflective, and empowering with your language. When we speak, we change ourselves, others, and our environment. The language we use is shaped by social and cultural influences, and in turn shapes our society and culture. Learn to unpack the implicit assumptions and beliefs that accompany your words and choose language that honors your role as a life-giving agent.
Complete Package
With the complete package, you get three birth preparation visits so that your mind and body are ready for birth. Mary Caplin and I will help you work together as a couple for the joyous and peaceful arrival of your baby. You'll have by-your-side assistance throughout active labor and until you're settled in with your new addition, and we'll continue to support you in the postpartum weeks.

For 2020, I am partnering with Mary Caplin to provide continuous supportive care for you. That's like getting two doulas for the price of one! Read more about our partnership here.
Grant Applications
Everyone deserves a supported birth! If your annual household income is at or below the guidelines in the chart on the Grant Application page, or if you're otherwise financially constrained, fill out an application for a grant to help pay for doula services. Unfortunately, grants are only available to  Utah County residents.
Sara Pixton, Certified Doula
Hi, I'm Sara Pixton! I grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado and have now settled down long-term on the other side of the Rocky Mountains in Provo, UT.

During my first pregnancy--with twins--I had a lot of questions, but wasn't always sure who to ask. My pregnancy and birth of my twins had several complications, and I'm so grateful that, in the end, all three of us were healthy and well. But looking back, I realize that I would have benefited from more emotional and physical support during my pregnancy, labor, and birth. I became a doula so that I can be that support for others!

I birthed my son through an unmedicated VBAC, and that experience was indescribably transformative and empowering. I came to know my life-giving power and fell in love with birth! I'm also an Applied Linguistics master's student at UMass Boston (online). I believe that there is a synergistic energy when my two passions—birth and language—come together, and I'm excited to share it with you! You can check out my work on the power of our words during birth at www.birthwords.com.

Outside of doula-ing, I love spending time with my three awesome kids and my amazing husband! I love learning and have plans to be a lifelong student. Singing and yoga also bring me focus, balance, and joy. And when the mountains call, I just have to go hiking—​preferably to the summit!

Satisfied Clients
​"I gave birth with Sara’s help yesterday, and it was amazing! Sara is the total package when it comes to doula work- she is smart, knowledgeable, open-minded, receptive, and endlessly compassionate. She deeply cares about birthing women and their experiences. I was so nervous to give birth again, but she helped me to calm myself and face my fears. I am so grateful for all the help she gave me throughout the whole process!"

"First of all, we loved Sara! Looking back, I am so so happy that we found her and had her as our birth doula during my first pregnancy. I could not imagine going through the process without her extremely calm attitude and completely understanding and holistic approach.

Sara took an enormous amount of time with us from beginning to end and we are forever grateful. When we first opted to work with her as our doula she made two in person visits to our home where we were all able to work through birth preferences and preconceptions around birth. She obviously has great depth of both personal and professional experience surround birth and this really put us as ease as we further developed our birth preferences and spoke about how she would support us when the day came. She also provided me with multiple books to review at my request and worked with me through some early breastfeeding questions and concerns.

When I started to go into labor at home, Sara was in constant contact with us and came to our house as soon as we felt it was needed. Her presence during my laboring at home was irreplaceable! She provided hands on pain relief which allowed me to stay home longer and feel much more comfortable. It also allowed my family to prep our house and gather things we would need at the hospital. I think without her around we all would have felt more stressed and unprepared. During my laboring at the hospital, it's almost hard to count the ways in which she provided support. Throughout an extremely long night she helped me change positions, stay nourished and hydrated, and remain calm and focused. During my prolonged active labor she held oxygen, cool towels, and provided hugely comforting words of praise and encouragement alongside my family. Knowing that she was there as an interface with the medical team was an enormous relief for me and significantly improved my state of mind through a long and tough labor. I would absolutely recommend Sara to ANY mother, first time or otherwise. Thank you Sara for everything!"

She has a positive attitude towards her own life that permeates into yours. She has an inner strength and peace that she shares in a very kind way."
