Sara Dempsey, MSN, RN, Birth & Postpartum Doula 

About Me:

Hello! I am a registered nurse with over 10 years of experience in healthcare. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on leadership and have earned multiple certifications. For the past three years, I have worked as a director, improving patient outcomes through data analysis and strategic initiatives.

My career has been largely dedicated to inpatient healthcare, starting as a bedside nurse and advancing to leadership roles, including hospital unit operations. I’ve collaborated with renowned institutions like Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL, for seven years, and the University of Rochester Medical Center. While I won’t provide direct medical care while we are working together, that doesn't mean that my nursing instincts are not present.

Personally, I’m a mother of two, both born in hospital settings. These experiences deepened my appreciation for childbirth and maternal care, shaping my passion for this field.

Becoming a certified birth doula through DONA International was a natural extension of my commitment to supporting families during transformative moments. I am honored to provide guidance and care during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum, approaching this work with dedication and respect.
