Sarah Thomson

I am a nurturer, calm and grounded. I move from a place of love.

I became a mother later in life. Thanks to my midwife-now-friend, 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 not the greatest 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 certified prenatal yoga guide, with a trauma-conscious focus, and since 2021 I’ve led a weekly yoga & sharing circle for pregnant people and new mamas: Yogi Mama Duluth. I love the birth world and love supporting birthing people. Becoming a birth and postpartum doula was a natural transition – 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’m also good at 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 together. In my free time I create stained glass art and love discovering small, off-the-beaten-path lakes to stand up paddleboard.
