27 years ago I fell in love with birth, and its lived deep within my soul ever since. As seasons change, and years pass, I find myself continually shedding layers that no longer serve or nourish the most authentic version of myself.
While some of my seasons have been spent practicing as a perinatal and pediatric chiropractor, doula and lactation consultant, and others have kept me closer to home nurturing my own family- my passion for growing families, birth and photography have always remained constant; weaving a beautiful thread of birth work throughout my life.
To me, motherhood is a deeply sacred journey, and birth, in all its forms, a profound rite of passage. It's mystical and intelligent, messy and beautiful, wild and raw, and in birth, where the veil between Heaven and Earth shines thinnest.
I find it's in the most wild, raw, unscripted moments of birth and motherhood that the magic happens. The moments of strength and connection, emotion, unknown, and overwhelming love.
My job is to beautifully capture this complexity while also holding space for your story to unfold.
My passion is built on the foundation that the journey into motherhood, whether it be for your 1st or your 12th time, is deeply transformational and you deserve to be celebrated, elevated, heard, and witnessed every step of the way.
Hi Friend, I'm Sara!
- My husband and best friend, Rob, and our 4 littles: Magnolia, Grace, Liam, and Rosemary
- Time at home; I'm a homebody who loves nature and adventure
- A good book and cup of herbal tea with honey from my Father-in-laws bees
- Listening to birth stories and chatting about all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
- Skiing- it's in my blood
- Farmers markets- they fuel my soul
- Growing specialty cut-flowers (sunflowers, zinnias, cosmos and nasturtiums are among my favs)
- Creating art- watercolor painting, crocheting, basket weaving, sewing and photography (obviously) are my current loves
- Our flock of backyard chickens- they bring me so much joy and Im looking forward to adding a couple of ducks to our flock soon
Theses are a few of my favorite things...
When Rob proposed it hailed, when we got married it snowed, and now, perfectly timed, in the middle of a 2017 snow storm, I gave birth of our firstborn; a beautiful baby girl, born in the comfort of our own home. It was the most incredible and empowering day of my life.
Since then, I've been blessed to give birth three more times. Each one has stretched and transformed me to my very core, and in different ways than my births previous.
My second birth was the most humbling and transformative experience of my life. My third, the most unexpected, yet beautiful, and my fourth, my most peaceful and healing.
Birth, in all its forms, changes us, and that, although often hard, messy, and wild, is what makes it beautiful.
