I’ve always been amazed by how powerful and mystifying the body is to be able to not only create life but to allow one’s self to be the passage that brings someone into the world. While attending my first home birth in 2015 I witnessed the calm and supportive midwifery team that centered the parent and protected the birthing space. It was at that moment that, unbeknownst to me, my life’s path would lead me to become a midwife.

I explored my role as a supportive birth worker by becoming a doula. This experience sparked a thirst for knowledge and in 2019 I started my midwifery education where I underwent rigorous training and education in out-of-hospital birth and midwifery practices. I advanced my skills by learning alongside community midwives in Maine and Massachusetts.

I completed my studies at Midwifery College of Utah in 2023 earning my national Certification as a Professional Midwife and licensed in the state of Rhode Island. I continue my education learning alongside my community and the birthing population both locally & nationally.

Generous Words From Clients

  • "Sarah was very kind and knowledgeable. Being in her care was more than I could have asked for. She allowed me to labor peacefully, only "interrupting" when necessary. As a mom who prioritizes laboring and birthing at home with minimal intervention, having Sarah as a midwife was a blessing. Without needing to advocate for myself, Sarah knew how to read the room and gauge the level of intervention that may be necessary. Throughout my entire pre-natal care, she was knowledgeable and always offered such great calming energy. Once again, I am so thankful that I had Sarah on my birthing team. "

  • "I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have met Sarah early in my pregnancy journey with our fourth baby. From the start, her warmth and kindness stood out. My kids adored her and she was always encouraging of their (very eager) assistance during our visits. Her ability to connect with them individually added a comforting layer to our prenatal appointments. During labor Sarah played an absolutely vital role as both a birth assistant and as an unwavering support. She was always calm and reassuring. Sarah's presence and contributions were invaluable, and I genuinely believe my labor experience was greatly enhanced because of her expertise and compassionate care. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone seeking a midwife who brings not only professional skill but also a genuine commitment of care to the entire family."

She provided me with a wealth of knowledge and education. Sarah was encouraging, empowering and impartial. She offered individualized care in a calm and gentle manner. Everyone asks if I would do it all over again (my first birth and home birth) and my answer is YES with the same midwives! “
