About True North Birth
My mission is to help you discover and experience your true birth journey—one that feels authentic to you and your baby. I want you to look back on your birth as a positive, empowering experience, not one marked by fear or trauma.
As your doula, I’ll support your wishes every step of the way. From pregnancy to birth and beyond, I provide education, resources, and personalized physical and emotional care.
Not sure what you want? That’s okay! I’ll guide you with thoughtful questions and resources to help you discover what feels right for you and your family. Together, we’ll bring your birth vision to life, ensuring you feel confident and supported throughout.
Why choose a doula?
While studies often highlight that having a doula significantly reduces the likelihood of interventions like c-sections, epidurals, or the use of pitocin, these statistics only scratch the surface of what doula support truly offers. Experts emphasize that a positive birth experience is not just about avoiding medical interventions—it’s much more about feeling supported, respected, and empowered in your choices. The focus is on honoring each individual’s unique journey to parenthood rather than striving to fit into a single, idealized version of birth.

Moments captured, memories cherished
We had a very positive experience with Sara. She did well to make a game plan for our delivery and executing it during labor. She also
did a good job educating us on the challenges we were going to face and how we would overcome them. We would highly recommend her.

Sara was wonderful and provided the exact support I needed for my birthing experience. Her calming presence filled my birth room and set the tone for others to follow.

Even though my birth didn’t go as planned I was so thankful to have you there while I was laboring and throughout the C-section
process. Birth doulas are beyond helpful for the unexpected.
