 Meet Sarah Buduson, RN, BSN, Holistic Wellness Coach and founder of The Postpartum Coaching Village!
The Postpartum Coaching Village represents the perfect combination of support for the fourth trimester - when moms are recovering physically, adjusting emotionally, and navigating the ups and downs of newborn care. Sarah believes that with genuine, practical support, moms and dads can adjust and thrive during what she calls this season of motherhood. Sarah started her coaching work in July 2025, four months postpartum herself, after years as a women's health and postpartum nurse. She truly meets moms where they are, going into the home if needed to provide education and support in the moment. Her postpartum coaching approach bridges a critical gap between labor and delivery and postpartum OB follow up. Kara's takeaway: just because motherhood is not beautiful every single second does not mean you are not capable or strong enough. Our community is so lucky Sarah has committed her unique combination of skills to moms and babies' health and wellbeing. If you are in the thick of new motherhood and could use someone in your corner, Sarah is the real deal. Stay tuned as Sarah continues to build her internet and social media presence! Read the full conversation below! When was your business founded and what inspired its development? I began my work as a coach in July 2025 however, it's been a long ongoing process of just building the foundation of a business. I also was four months postpartum at the time, so I'm in the early stages of building it right now. The inspiration really came from both my background as a women's health nurse and registered nurse, and my own experience becoming a mom. I have a seven year old and I have a 13 month old baby. In my role, especially as a postpartum nurse, I just kept seeing how the emotional and mental load of mothers is so heavy, and they're carrying so much, and there's very little space for them to actually be supported in a consistent and real life kind of way. And it's so important to create something that meets moms where they are. How does your business support mental health and wellness in our local community? My work is very centered around providing one on one emotional support for moms. I also am creating a space in communities through workshops that are interactive, bite-sized education, but what moms really need. I feel it's more about helping them process what they're experiencing so they can feel less alone and just find ways to feel more grounded and supported in their day to day lives. It's about having that space where you feel seen and understood that has such a meaningful impact on mental health. And in our day and age, I feel like there's just a lack of community - even though social media is like a community because it does bring people together, but I believe moms need something in real life. What makes your business different from others that may offer similar service? It’s been a little tricky for my business because I don't fit in to any particular area - I'm not a therapist or a doula - I am a nurse in profession, but this service is more coaching. I feel like my approach is grounded and realistic - I'm not trying to overhaul people's lives and give them a long list of things to do, because moms have enough on our plates. It's just about supporting them like where they're already living, where they already are, especially in overwhelming seasons. I do love supporting the postpartum period - that's where my heart is. Motherhood is not like a flip of a switch, you know, it's a journey. I'm big on nervous system awareness and just helping things feel more sustainable. I do home visits and I also do virtual visits. And then I've been meeting with different local businesses to do workshops in their spaces. I plan on creating a virtual workshop. I'm trying to do a mix of options so that support is accessible. How does your own journey or life experience shape how you show up in your work? It shapes everything! Between my nursing background and my own experience in motherhood, I feel like I have a deep understanding of how intense and nuanced and layered this season can be. It's made me more aware of how important it is for moms to feel supported and not just physically, with the medical side of it, but emotionally too - that’s where I’ve noticed the biggest gap is. I think my life experiences allowed me to show up with so much empathy and without judgment, and as a nurse, I've seen it all! I've been there too - I think that's so important, because a lot of moms are hesitant to be honest with themselves. It's not a pretty thought to say, like, “I don't feel like I was meant to be a mom”, “I don't feel like I'm cut out to be a mom” - and then you feel guilt and shame, and just because motherhood isn't beautiful every single second, doesn't mean that you aren't capable or strong enough to do it. Business ownership can be stressful - how do you take care of your own mental health and wellness? Right now I've really just been trying to focus on keeping things simple and realistic. I focus on small things that help me feel grounded throughout the day, like making sure I'm eating and going outside. As a perfectionist, this has been a big one for me, just giving myself permission to not do things perfectly. I am in a very full season of life - I also just started a new nursing job, there's just a lot going on, so a big part of just taking care of my mental health is adjusting my expectations and allowing things to grow at a pace that feels sustainable for me. If people were to take away a feeling or message after experiencing your business, what would you want that to be? I would want moms to feel that they are not alone and that they are supported. I would want them to feel more grounded in themselves, more understood and like things don't always have to feel quite so heavy and overwhelming, even if things look bleak. www.sarahbuduson.com Social: @sarah.buduson Comments are closed.
