Who is Sarah Moore?
I came to this work after the births of my two children. The challenges of those first few years were profound; I realized, deeply, how important good support can be.
For more than two decades, families have invited me into their homes during some of the most intimate and demanding moments of their lives. I’ve supported hundreds of families as a birth doula, lactation counselor, childbirth educator, postpartum doula, sleep strategist, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMAD) group facilitator.
I enjoy creating tailored birth classes, supporting families with a colicky baby, creating routines for new parents and babies, solving sleep issues, and being present at the moment when people first realize that they are parents.
I’m a certified childbirth educator and doula, with additional certifications in lactation counseling, maternal mental health, and infant colic support. I have a BA from Brown University and an MA from NYU and I feel so lucky to be able to say that I love what I do.
Sarah can handle just about anything I throw at her. She is efficient, energetic and loving and has become an important presence for my daughter. Throughout all of the projects that Sarah has helped us with, from organizing all of our closets to guiding us through our daughter’s sleep-training, breastfeeding and transitioning to solid food, she has remained a calm, level-headed, thoughtful educator and listener. She knows how to move from offering advice to listening in an expert way.

Sarah was an amazing resource for us when we came home from the hospital with our baby boy. She immediately felt like part of our family, and was a source of comfort and reassurance, providing a much-needed sense of calm in our sleep-deprived household. She did everything from helping us develop a specific plan for our son to put on weight to running errands at Target for needed supplies. On the days when we were feeling overwhelmed, we were able to relax just knowing Sarah was coming over to help out.

How we can work together
Pregnancy and Birth
I can create a custom childbirth class for you and your partner either in-person or virtually. Typically these last 1-4 hours. I’ll send you a template and you can choose the topics you want to cover. Often the class will include:
the stages of labor
positions and coping strategies
interventions and complications
pushing effectively
We can do a consultation around making sense of your birth options, or creating a birth guide/plan.
I can be your birth doula if you are within an hour of my home in Putnam County, N.Y.

a challenging latch
an unmanageable schedule
when or if you should pump or give formula
We can talk through sleep issues and I’ll walk you through a plan so both you and your baby are sleeping through the night.
I can be your postpartum doula. (Usually this is for short visits during the day).
