Sara | Certified Birth Doula

Wife, Mom & Outdoor Enthusiast

Hi, I'm Sara - I’m a doula who holds a deep reverence for the inner wisdom women carry and the way birth shapes the beginning of motherhood. My path into this work was formed by the births of my own children - a grief-filled first birth with my daughter, a redemptive second birth, and a third birth, my son’s, that continued to offer clarity and purpose. Each experience reshaped me in its own way and revealed just how profoundly support, presence, and trust can influence a mother’s journey. Those stories became the quiet tug that led me into birthwork, and what continues to call me here.

 

I grew up under the warm skies of Florida before eventually planting roots in Edmonton, where I’ve spent the past nine years serving my community as a Veterinary Medical Assistant with the Edmonton Humane Society. That work shaped my hands to be steady, my presence to be gentle, my heart to be soft to the places where tender care is needed, and has given me the awareness of how deeply the small details of compassion can matter. This is the same heart I carry into every birth space.

 

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that birth is the foundation of motherhood - a profound beginning. I believe women are innately capable of bringing life into the world with courage, strength, and deep intuition. Birth is a natural and physiological process, and when it’s supported with patience, respect, and trust, it often unfolds safely and beautifully on its own. My role is simply to walk beside you with grounded support, calm reassurance, and evidence-based guidance, helping you feel held and informed through every moment.

 

When I’m not supporting growing families, you’ll often find me outside with my kids, behind a camera, playing board games, volunteering, or writing small reflective pieces that help me make sense of the shifting seasons of motherhood. I love connecting with friends, moving my body, and finding myself woven into community wherever I can.

 

At the heart of all of this, I believe birth deserves tenderness, presence, and unwavering support. It’s an honor every time a family invites me into their story, and I’m grateful to offer a warm, steady place to land during one of life’s most sacred transitions.

Sara was beyond phenomenal. She wasn't just our Doula, she became our friend/family. She was so helpful, supportive and wonderful, and encouraged me when I felt scared. She was the reason I was able to overcome some mental blockages both during pregnancy, labour/birth and has helped me navigate early postpartum life and has offered tips and tricks to be able to be a good parent. She cares so much for her clients.
