SARAH RAMPART / on maternity leave
I’m Sarah, a mother of two, and also an angel baby, and a passionate labor and postpartum doula based in the Treasure Coast. My journey into doula work began after my own transformative births, where I recognized the crucial importance of support during this pivotal time. I am certified through ProDoula and am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to families.
With a strong connection to my faith, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where families feel informed and empowered in their choices. My focus is on connection and understanding, ensuring that every client feels valued and supported throughout their labor and postpartum experience. My goal is to help families navigate this significant transition with joy and confidence, offering tailored care that meets their unique needs.
My experience as a Doula is personal. I have had two of my own babies. I loved being able to explore the knowledge I needed to prepare my body along with the knowledge of knowing what doctors plans were for delivery. I really enjoyed being able to advocate for myself and have a team that respected what I wanted. I appreciated My partner for listening to me when I asked for any physical support because I knew what my body needed.
What led me to becoming a Doula was my love for being a mom to my own children but also when my friends started to become pregnant and having their own babies being their book of knowledge and support when they needed it.

RIPLEY CRAWFORD – Photographer / On maternity leave
Hi there! I’m Ripley Crawford,
I am a wife and a stay-at-home mama to two precious baby girls, Willow Le and Jane Nicole. You might say I have my hands full, but you should see how full my heart is! Our days are filled with rhythms of beautiful chaos; worship music, learning new tasks, endless diaper changes, essential oils, silly dances and coffee runs! A life I never expected for myself, but one that God has truly BLESSED me with! My incredible husband, Nick, is a full-time Registered Nurse and yet, he still has the energy each and every day to come home and love on all three of us girls! Not to mention that he also empties our diaper bins, fills our bird feeders, cleans up around the house, and somehow, continues to fill my water cup before bed each night. I can’t even begin to explain how truly grateful I am for this man. I am so thankful for his support through everything that I do!
When I first entered into the photography world about five years ago, I took a vast interest in photographing couples and weddings. There is something so fulfilling about capturing the raw love and true connection between two people. However, after giving birth to my second daughter unexpectedly on our bathroom floor (a story for another time) our sweet Doula shared some amazing photos she had quickly taken during the event. Needless to say – I KNEW that going forward, I wanted to use my craft to capture the raw and authentic moments of labor and birth for others!
One of the most important things you can do as you prepare for birth, is to choose a birth team that supports every aspect of your vision. A team who allows you to embrace all that you are, however you decide to give birth. A team, that I would be honored to be a part of, for you. I have a passion for working with sentimental couples who embrace the empowering, beauty of birth and the loving, chaos of parenthood. I am simply there to witness and authentically document all of the beautiful, God provided moments of your sacred birth story.
I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with you!
