Sancken is an amazing person, doula, and friend. When I found out I was pregnant, I wanted to make sure I was completely educated about the birthing process. I knew my ultimate goal was to have a vaginal birth, and I wanted it to be a positive experience, not a scary one. Sancken was an amazing resource throughout the pregnancy, and an incredible support system during labor. She gave me so much information, and helped my husband and I make important decisions on things that we didn't even know we had a choice. Most importantly, she helped me to have the labor experience I wanted. Her sunny personality and calming presence helped me to achieve the perfect birthing experience. She coached me through everything and I truly believe her movement techniques helped the labor to progress faster than it would have if I were just sitting around in a hospital bed. She doesn't project her goals on you, she helps you achieve what YOU want to acheive. Now I look back on that day with fond memories...so much so that I would gladly go back and relive that day a million times. Sancken played a huge role in creating my perfect birth experience and the BEST day of my life.
