Sarah Rossing
Certified Birth Doula

I currently live in NW Portland, Oregon with my husband of 5 years and our two cats, Sarge & Cali. I've enjoyed working with infants and children of all ages for the past 8 years.
My passion for childbirth began in September of ’08 after hearing a friend’s birth story, and it was confirmed to me that this is what I should do when I was able to attend a birth the following month. After praying about it, I believe that the Lord has led me down the path of becoming a doula. He has blessed me with a very supportive husband and I truly believe that this is my new calling in life. I hope that you will let me help you create the birth experience you desire.
I attended my DONA International doula training in October of ’08 and I am currently finishing up my certification.
My professional experience includes: hospitals and birth centers, vaginal unmedicated & medicated births, inductions, waterbirth and cesarean births.

Client Testimonial:
"Sarah Rossing was the doula for the birth of our daughter Cadence and I highly recommend her as a doula. She helped me come up with a birth plan, discussed with me the pros and cons of giving birth in a hospital, waterbirth center and at home and suggested ways to speed the labor process along through accupressure. She toured the waterbirth center wiith me and helped me come to my decision to have a water birth, a decision I am thankful I made every day. Her knowledge and resourcefulness helped me to stay calm through an intense experience and I knew that she would be an advocate for me if my birth plan was not being followed. She was with me the entire time of my labor and supported me by suggesting different birth positions and holding my hand during contractions(she also timed the length of the contractions and the space in between them). She made sure the environment was relaxing, carried out my wishes on who should be in the room and who shouldn't and made sure I had something to eat or drink when I needed` it. Sarah helped make Cadence's birth a memorable and enjoyable experience through her calmness and the resources she had to offer as a doula." ~Sarah Rychart
