Let me start off by saying Sarah is amazing and knows her stuff. I had a lot of girlfriends that had postpartum so I wanted to do anything I could to not get it with my first baby and this was one of those things to help. It might sound a little crazy but my placenta pills gave me energy when I was exhausted made me a happy mommy and I knew 100% that I was going to do it again with my second baby. I'll never forget coming home with my first baby and waking up in the morning and thinking that my dogs were so dirty ( and they are inside very clean dogs) I thought to myself -now I know why people get rid of their pets when they bring home newborns then my husband gave me a placenta pill and right away I was back to my old self nursing my baby on one side and holding my little puppy on the other side...lol!! I don't know what that was about..... maybe my hormones and my brain adjusting to a brand-new baby, nevertheless I never got baby blues postpartum or anything AND my milk came in with both kids pretty much the same day as I got my pills. Sarah makes it such an easy beautiful process I highly suggest using her and everything she provides I believe deep down in my soul and my brain that this works. Happy baby happy mama read more

Happy Healthy Babies - Placenta Encapsulations Near Me

See all

Sarah is one of the most passionate and knowledgeable professionals that I have encountered regarding natural birth and related services. My husband and I attended her Bradley Method course along with five other couples. Her presentations were consistently filled with invaluable educational content and a delivery that was very easy to understand. She presented research based approaches and information, and recommendations that enhanced our pregnancy and ensured a healthy delivery. As each topic was discussed, she demonstrated such eagerness to share in our journey. In fact, she was always available to assist in answering questions and to help us make informed decisions prior to and after baby. In addition to her superb Bradley instruction, I utilized her services to encapsulate my placenta. Though I do not have a comparison, I was happy with my postpartum results as I attributed my smooth recovery to her services. I highly recommend Sarah to all expecting families! If you have the opportunity to attend sessions in a group that is what I recommend, as we have established lifelong friends along the process. Most importantly, we have a VERY happy and healthy beautiful baby boy!!! Congratulations to all of you in search of services related to your growing families. read more

Sarah is amazing! She is very passionate about the Bradley method and a great instructor. I had 2 children with difficult labors prior to taking the class. With my 3 baby I finally had the labor I longed for. I also used Sarah for placenta encapsulation. I like how she has a special sterile workstation just for placenta encapsulation. Third baby was the first time I used placenta encapsulation and I really felt it helped with my mood and energy. read more

We are so happy we found Sarah! Thanks to her class, we were more prepared and excited for our first baby's arrival than we ever thought we would be. She almost immediately calmed our jitters and made me feel like I actually could deliver without pain medication! With her help, we crafted our birth plan and were fortunate enough to stick to the plan almost exactly. The birth was the most incredible experience of my life and my husband was an amazing coach thanks to Sarah's guidance through her classes! We also hired Sarah to take photos during the birth and we are so happy we did! She captured our first family photo minutes after our son was born, our son's precious first moments in this great big world, along with many other beautiful moments. The photos were tasteful (she listened to what photos we wanted - and didn't and captured emotions in a way that brings joy to me every time I look at them. If you haven't considered taking photos during labor and delivery, talk to Sarah and look at her work - it's worth it! She's also incredible in the delivery room - she has a calming presence and I completely forgot she was taking photos, she's just that good. read more

Sarah was extremely knowledgeable, patient and eager to answer our questions. I felt very confident and ready for my sons water birth at home in water when his moment arrived. We definitely recommend that you take her class. It's a must! read more

Sarah is all around amazing! Not only is she a fabulous placenta encapsulator, but my family and I just love her and felt like she was part of the family. She has an option to come to the house and it was amazing to see the process. She is so patient at answering questions and making you feel a part of the process. If you are on the fence about placenta encapsulation, our little family strongly suggests that you do the complimentary meet and greet with Sarah. You will love her vibe and be totally happy you did. We hope that she will be part of our birth team again should we be blessed to have another birth story to tell in the future. Thank you Sarah from all of us! read more

We used Sarah as our Bradley Method instructor. Her classes were easy, fun and fast paced. Most importantly the classes were fresh and relevant for modern couples wanting to achieve a traditional non-medicated birth. With Sarah's guidance we were able to achieve the birth experience that was better than our dreams! Sarah is kind, knowledgable and passionate about her work. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anybody and everybody! read more

Sarah is a hard working birth professional. She gives 100% to all areas of her life and it truly shows in her work. I had the pleasure of being the doula for several of her Bradley Method students and they were very well informed, empowered and achieved natural births! I highly recommend her natural childbirth classes! I am confident she will pour her professionalism and enthusiasm into her placenta encapsulation services as well. Sarah's passion for babies and families has made her great asset to the birth profession. You will be so happy you hired her. read more

Sarah is absolutely wonderful to have as a Bradley instructor! Without her class, I don't think we would have known what to expect during the labor process. I knew I wanted to have a natural birth and after interviewing many local instructors, I found Sarah to be the most passionate, resourceful, and caring. She even gave me recommendations for some OB's in the area depending on which hospital I wanted to give birth in while I interviewed her. Because my work travel schedule was so hectic, she offered to open up another Saturday class if she found one other couple interested and sure enough, because of how great she is, she found another interested couple and opened up the class! In the end we had 6 couples in the class and that was lots of fun! We all still meet up with our little ones every now and then. Aside of going through the course materials, Sarah also showed snippets, made sure we did our exercises and homework, and helped us with our meals to ensure we got in enough protein and other great nutrients in our daily diet. I think the greatest part about having Sarah as an instructor is the never-ending support that she gives to her students! Who will wake up and take calls from her students in the middle of the night and walk them throughout their ENTIRE labor process, at home AND at the hospital?! SARAH WILL! And SARAH did this for us! She was on the phone with my husband off and on between 1am all the way until sunrise and probably even after too since I lost track of time during labor. We knew we could trust Sarah with our first born and she definitely did a great job guiding us through it all, from what to expect during each labor phase to anticipating next steps and also answering questions we had about drugs and options as the on call OB was starting to talk us into speeding up the labor process. We completely trusted her expert advice because we were able to get through it and deliver a beautiful, healthy and happy baby, naturally! We are so very thankful to have her with us through one of the most important events in our lives. And given that she used to be a doula, who wouldn't want to have her on their side? Sarah also does placenta encapsulation as well as other things too. She did a great job with mine and also made a heart keepsake of my baby's umbilical cord. Thank you Sarah for all that you have done for our family! Definitely two thumbs up from us. read more

Sarah is amazing! Very knowledgable and always willing to help. Bradley Classes: Bradley classes are filled w/ boatloads of information and you really need an instructor who is going to make it engaging and entertaining. This is a very important part because if you have an instructor that bores you, it can become very easy for you to tune the information out causing you to miss out. Sarah was also very thorough and offered lots useful info that wasn't included in the workbooks. We were very informed and went into labor feeling confident in ourselves. Placenta Services: I received my placenta pills and smoothie the very next day delivered to my home. Placenta Smoothie worked very well for me. I was on one hour of sleep a day (no exaggeration) and the smoothie gave me a very noticeable jolt of energy. I don't know that I would've made it through those first couple days without it The combination of the smoothie and the pills help lessen postpartum bleeding significantly. Postpartum cramping was very little to none. Emotionally, I felt normal besides the lack of sleep. I would highly highly recommend Sarah. It is clear that she is passionate about her work. She is a great resource to have. read more

I had my placenta encapsulated for my first pregnancy to ward off post-partum depression. Sarah was prompt in picking up my placenta and got the capsules back to me quickly as well. I did not have PPD with my daughter, but also had nothing to compare it to because it was my only pregnancy. Then last summer I miscarried and was obviously unable to encapsulate my placenta. I had a really hard time with depression and anxiety when my hormones dropped, which indicated to me that the placenta pills were what had helped me through the hormonal drop I experienced following my first pregnancy. I am now on my third pregnancy and will be encapsulating my placenta again this time, as well as purchasing smoothie prep, broth, a tincture, and a salve. I am so happy that I can use this alternative medicine instead of taking antidepressants while I breastfeed. read more

My wife and I were considering trying for a natural birth for our first child, and our doctor suggested we take a look at the Bradley method. At first, we weren't sure if it was going to work for us, but after our first class with Sarah, our doubts disappeared. Sarah made sure that we knew what to expect throughout the entire process, as well as what to do in a wide variety of situations. That preparation is what keeps you calm and focused when the time comes, instead of frantically scrambling like a sitcom dad. Both my wife and I enjoyed our time in Sarah's class, and we went on to have a happy, healthy baby girl medication-free, just like we'd planned. Sarah is knowledgeable, experienced, kind, and collected, and I would highly recommend her whether you're considering the Bradley method specifically, or natural childbirth in general. read more

I was referred to Sarah from my Bradley instructor for placenta encapsulation and boy am I glad I was. Sarah was very helpful and prompt with everything from the first time I contacted her until after she finished encapsulating my placenta. Even after she was done she said I could contact her if I had any questions. She came to the hospital to pick up my placenta right when she said I would and it was a very easy process. My husband was able to take everything out to her and she had my placenta pills back to me at my home within 48 hours! I didn't have to do anything except communicate with her via text message. Everything was so clean! The pills were sealed in glass containers and everything was labeled with instructions as well as a little pamphlet! I would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone who wanted to get their placenta encapsulated. Communication was easy, everything was clean and sterile, and I was able to choose exactly what I wanted from a variety of different packages. There were no surprises and I felt confident I was getting what I paid for! Anyone looking for placenta encapsulation services should definitely use her! Thank you Sarah! read more

Sarah is one of the most helpful teachers I've ever known. She is knowledgeable, patient, available and goes the extra mile for your needs. The best Bradley teacher I could have ever chosen! read more

I would give Happy Healthy Babies 10 stars if I could! Working with Sarah and the benefits I received from placenta capsulation are beyond words. The whole process was easy and worth every (affordable!) penny. Sarah was informative and attentive from start to finish, and coordinating pick up with my delivery could not have been smoother. If you are thinking of placenta encapsulation, do not hesitate, as the health benefits are off the charts and I know that my fourth trimester was easy breezy because I chose this method. You will not be disappointed! read more

Sarah was truly wonderful. I met her at the annual Granola Babies expo. I signed up for the placenta encapsulation around 6 months pregnant. She was diligent about touching base with me up to my due date. I gave birth at 40w6d at Hoag Hospital. My husband texted her an hour after our baby was born and Sarah was at the hospital 2 hours later! She then had my smoothie pieces and pills back to me at the hospital within 24 hours as we were being discharged. I immediately started taking the pills and have been feeling great. It has only been 1 week but I'm feeling like my normal self and have an adequate milk supply. I highly recommend Sarah and her services! read more

Sarah is an awesome Bradley teacher! Very knowledgable and genuinely enjoys what she does. She was great support through the birthing process, too! We used her placenta encapsulation service, she made the process really easy for us, and the capsules have really seemed to help my wife! Highly recommend Sarah! read more

Happy Healthy Babies is the BEST!! We had private Bradley classes with Sarah at our home. From class #1 we knew that Sarah was the absolute perfect fit. She has the perfect personality to teach Bradley and is super knowledgeable about all things parent/child related. Her classes are centered around the Bradley workbook, yet she also encourages discussion and questions beyond the workbook. She brings videos and props to each class which really help you visualize and learn. She is hands on with all of the relaxation techniques and offers plenty of homework assignments for extra practice. We truly feel that Sarah is the reason we were such a great team during our labor and delivery. She really made sure that we were 100% prepared for any situation that would arise. My husband was a wonderfully prepared labor coach because and my labor was fast and intervention free. We really owe this to Sarah. She made the Bradley method fun, interactive, and kept our attention and we were always eager for the next class. We would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for an awesome instructor that really cares about you and your baby. We also had Sarah do the placenta pills and smoothie. She came to the hospital 12 hours after birth to pick up the placenta and delivered the pills to our house the next day. She also preserved the umbilical cord into a beautiful heart shape and gave it to us in a cute little bag. Sarah is awesome. You will not regret her services. Happy Healthy Babies is wonderful. 5 star service!! read more
