About Sarah Braun — Midwife & Nutritionist
I came to this work because I needed it. I stayed because women deserve so much more than they're being given.
This work is about reclamation — of your body, your birth, your capacity to come home to yourself.
I'm not here to fix you. I'm here to walk with you while you remember what you already know.
I didn't find this work through a textbook. I found it through years of paying close attention — to my own body, to the women around me, to the places where conventional wisdom about health and birth left women more confused and depleted than when they started.
I grew up in a home where food was medicine and the body was trusted before it was questioned. That early education shaped everything. When I became a midwife and deepened my training in nutrition, I wasn't learning a new language — I was finding the clinical framework for something I'd always known intuitively.
What I've learned from years of walking alongside women through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and depletion is this: most women are doing far more than they're being supported for. They're carrying enormous physical and emotional loads on bodies that are undernourished, overstimulated, and chronically under-rested. My work — in every form it takes — is about changing that. Slowly, honestly, and from the inside out.
Whether we're navigating birth or rebuilding from depletion — the work is the same: coming home to our bodies so we can embody our lives.
What it means to be guided, not managed
My clients describe feeling seen. Anchored. Like there's a calm in the center of something enormous. That's what I'm here to create — not by taking over, but by being so steady and so present that you have room to do your own work.
I lead with slowness. Full presence. Listening before speaking. I meet you where you are, not where I think you should be. My goal is for you to finish this season understanding your body deeply — how it works, what it needs, what it's capable of. I want nothing about this process to feel foreign or frightening, because we will have walked through it together, many times, before it arrives.
I'm a guide and a mentor, not a director. Whether we're navigating pregnancy and birth or rebuilding your relationship with nourishment, I'm here as a guide — not a gatekeeper.
This is your body, your life, your journey. I’m here to make sure you have everything you need to lead it well.

My Education + Training
I attended my first birth as a young mama 23 years ago (just 8 months after my own first home birth). Birth work has been woven through my life ever since — through postpartum care, birth photography, doula work across the full spectrum of reproductive experience and end-of-life, and years of assisting and learning from experienced midwives before stepping into independent practice.
My formal midwifery training includes coursework at Birthwise Midwifery School and training with Billie Harrigan, followed by a clinical apprenticeship with skilled midwives in Utah County. I hold specialized training in breech birth through Breech Without Borders and from Dr. Stu’s breech and twins training, and I am always current on CPR and NRP certification. I am a forever student — consistently adding to my training through courses, workshops, and hands-on learning to deepen my ability to care for women and babies.
My academic background includes a Bachelor of Science with honors in Sociology, Anthropology, and Women's & Gender Studies, and a Master of Public Administration with focuses on international health policy and socially conscious business — both from Southern Utah University. I recently rounded out my formal education by earning a Master of Science in Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport, with a clinical focus on female physiology, hormonal health, and the nutritional demands of the childbearing years.
I have been attending births as a primary midwife since 2023, serving families across Utah County and Salt Lake County, and beyond.
Nourishment isn't an add-on to my practice — it's the foundation.
