I'm Sara "Sadie" BhaduriHauck, a Certified Doula and Lactation Counselor supporting families through the transition to parenthood.
For parents who are still pregnant, I offer virtual prenatal sessions to prepare for postpartum and breastfeeding.
For parents who need breastfeeding support, I offer in-home consultation, guidance, and mentoring in York County, PA, Harford County, MD, and parts of neighboring counties.
For parents who are struggling after a difficult or traumatic birth, I offer virtual talk-based birth story sessions to help make sense of what happened and begin finding peace.
Birthing your baby is the part most people prepare for — but what happens once you bring your baby home? Parenthood changes your routines, rhythms, relationships, and identity in ways many people don't expect. A prenatal session is a chance to think about how you want your postpartum time to feel, ask questions from someone who knows the terrain, and make a plan for navigating the first weeks with your newborn.
Sessions are tailored to your family's needs and often include conversation about:
What to expect during the early postpartum period
Self-care and recovery
Sleep and newborn behavior
Breastfeeding, including pumping and bottle feeding if that's part of your plan
Changing family dynamics
Household management and division of responsibilities
Your hopes, concerns, and goals for life with a new baby
My role is to help you explore what matters most, fill gaps in knowledge, and make a practical plan that helps you enter the postpartum season feeling informed, empowered, and prepared.
SESSION DETAILS
Prenatal sessions are virtual. Sessions are 90 minutes long and cost $115.
It's okay if feeding your baby isn't working out the way you hoped it would. Breastfeeding is a learned skill, not a magical instinct. Learning it takes practice, time, and someone to help you do it.
Some of the common situations I can help with include:
Latch difficulties
Pain with feeding
Supply concerns (low or oversupply)
Pumping and bottle feeding
Returning to work
Weaning
During our session, we'll talk through your feeding experience so far, observe a feeding, troubleshoot what's not working, and create a practical plan you can implement right away.
SESSION DETAILS
These sessions work best in person. I travel to client homes within a 75-minute driving radius of Delta, PA. Sessions are typically 90 minutes long and cost $160. I do not work with insurance, but I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company.
Birth isn't just a physical event. It can be intense, emotional, and deeply personal — especially if the birth was difficult, traumatic, or unfolded in a way you didn't expect or want. A birth story session can help if you:
keep replaying moments from the birth
have questions or confusion about what happened
avoid talking or thinking about it because it's still painful
feel like no one else understands what the experience was like for you
My role is to listen, help you make sense of what happened, and gently start shifting the weight it carries.
If you've had a miscarriage, stillbirth, or loss, I see you. This is a safe space where you don't have to make your story smaller or easier for someone else to hear. You can bring the whole thing.
This work is also open and relevant to partners and birth professionals who need to talk about a birth they witnessed or supported. If you were there and the experience is still sitting with you, reach out.
SESSION DETAILS
Birth story sessions are virtual. Sessions are 75 minutes long and cost $90. These sessions are not clinical mental health care but can be a bridge or complement to therapy where needed.

Early motherhood can change a person in ways that are hard to name. I do this work because those experiences matter. They shape a woman's relationship with herself, her family, and the world in ways that ripple through the rest of her life.
I'm especially drawn to supporting women reclaiming their voices, agency, and intuition — not by telling them what to do or who to be but by helping them trust what they already know.
Mandala Motherhood is intentionally a small practice. I work one-on-one so the support can stay personal, attentive, and responsive to what each person actually needs.
Like many of the families I support, motherhood has surprised, challenged, and changed me. As a mother of four, my own story includes cesarean birth, VBAC, induction, birth trauma, and breastfeeding. Those experiences continue to shape how I listen, teach, and care for others.
If you'd like to hear about others' experiences working with me, you can read my Google reviews here.
All inquiries and scheduling start with email. I reply personally with availability and next steps.
If it would be helpful, we can schedule a brief phone call to see if we're a fit or talk through questions before booking.
