I am a nurturer, calm and grounded.
I move from a place of love.
Hi, I’m Sarah Thomson
I became a mother later in life. Thanks to my midwife-now-friend Margo of IndieBirth in 2019, I learned a vast amount of knowledge about the pregnant body and the physiological / natural process of birth. I also learned how to trust myself, my body, my baby and had a deeply inspiring home birth, but could have had a better postpartum time. (I should have had a doula!)
I believe that every family deserves an empowering birth and postpartum experience, wherever they choose to birth.
By trusting in those I’m supporting, my hope is that they find it easy to trust in themselves; and listen to their innate wisdom already deep within.
I’m a 250 hour certified prenatal yoga instructor, with a trauma-conscious and body affirming-adaptive focus. My style is calming, grounding and intuitive. I promote an individualized practice, with intention to connect to the knowing already within.
I love the birth world and love supporting birthing people. I’m able to easily meet my clients and families where they’re at without judgement. I honor their belief systems and actively listen to and support their dreams. I aim to provide education and resources to allow them to feel confident and informed in their decision-making.
I also love weaving networks together, connecting parents with their community.
My professional doula training was through Mama Glow with additional focused training covering complicated birth & early postpartum period. I’m a trained birth art facilitator and grief worker. I’ve also experienced two pregnancy losses myself, so I can understand and support others experiencing their own loss / healing journeys. I’ve completed a Miscarriage Masterclass through IndieBirth, along with their Sovereign Birth Blueprint and 13 Moons Birth courses.
I have a son, two bonus daughters, and a super supportive husband. We garden, keep chickens and go on nature walks in our woods. I create stained glass art and love discovering small, quiet lakes to stand up paddleboard.
