Sarah McIlwham
Sarah was drawn to supporting pregnant people and their families following the birth and postpartum experiences with her own children. Sarah has a background in science and previously worked for the federal government as a microbiologist in research and policy. Her passion to support pregnant people led to her to work as a doula in Ottawa for several years, and then to pursue her dream of becoming a midwife. Sarah loves integrating her scientific background with her experience as a doula to provide evidence-based information for clients and to support them in their pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her partner, two children and dog, enjoying the outdoors and all that our great city has to offer!
