Sara Howard

Sara has more than 20 years of experience as a doula and midwife supporting families during their pregnancy and post-partum journey.

She has worked in a variety of settings including home, birth-center, and hospitals. Her experience includes working as part of clinical care teams of OBs and CNMs as a Staff Doula with Providence St. Vincent Hospital in Portland, OR; where she was trained to provide continuous Doula support to mom's during labors, c-sections, and postpartum. She has also worked as a Postpartum Midwife in various Birth Centers to support moms in the immediate 48 hours after birth and through the first 6 weeks postpartum.

Sara will always respect your individual desires, needs, and experience. She provides her clients with calming grounded reassurance that is cultivated from her deep understanding of the physiology of pregnancy, labor, and birth; as well as the principles of somatic body work and trauma-informed care. Sara's training and skills include wisdom about herbal and natural remedies, lactation support, newborn care, c-section recovery, natural labor and birth, acupressure for pregnancy, labor, and birth, perinatal massage, infant massage, perinatal cranio-sacral therapy, and cranio-sacral therapy for newborns and infants, and more!

It is my greatest joy to work with your family as a trusted guide. Each client is unique, and I will always respect your choices, offer you tailored support, and honor your process towards a healthy birth and baby! I offer each of my clients education, advocacy, physical, emotional, spiritual support, and compassion.
