Military Families

The TRICARE® Childbirth and Breastfeeding Support Demonstration

As an Army Veteran and military spouse myself, I understand the uncertainty that comes along with the joy of building a family in the military. I have always said that military families (whose support systems are usually states away!) can benefit largely from professional pregnancy, birth, postpartum support… and finally TRICARE® is on the same page!

The TRICARE® Childbirth and Breastfeeding Support Demonstration is a five year demonstration (starting January, 2022) that will cover some services with authorized Certified Labor Doulas, Certified and Advanced Lactation Counselors, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultants. Qualifying beneficiaries can be seen for up to six (6) lactation counseling sessions and up to six (6) visits and continuous labor support with a doula.

Physical, emotional, and informational support go a long way.

What my clients are saying:

“Sarah immediately stepped in and helped me with through the pain and coached my husband through the entire birth. She was absolutely a godsend to have and I am incredibly happy we had her there.”

"I like to think of [Sarah] as my inner birthing conscious, because that’s what she became."

"Sarah provided amazing emotional and physical support. She knew what worked for me and was nonjudgemental about my decisions before, during, and after birth."

"I can’t say enough about how knowledgeable Sarah is! She helped me recognize questions I needed to ask that I didn’t even know I needed to ask. She encouraged me to do what I felt was best for my birth and I feel super lucky to have her guidance in this process."

"My husband wasn’t all the way on board but after Sarah helped me through labor and delivery, and with breastfeeding postpartum, he agrees we wouldn’t have had the best experience possible without her!"
