About Summit Birth

About

Welcome to the journey. Whether this is your first baby or you're welcoming a younger sibling, your pregnancy marks the start of a new path on your journey of motherhood. As a birthworker, I've walked this path before. I have the knowledge, skills, and experience to help you prepare for and enjoy a positive and empowering birth.

I love birth. Like hiking to a mountain's summit, giving birth pushes us past our perceived limits. It urges us to call on our inner strength and climb to new heights. And the journey's pinnacle, as we snuggle our new little babes to our skin, rushed with hormones that fill us with indescribable love, is truly life-changing. It's empowering to look back over the ascent and its challenges and say, "we did it!"

Hi, I'm Sara. It's nice to meet you!

During my first (twin!) pregnancy, I had a lot of questions, but I wasn't always sure who to ask. My pregnancy and birth of my twins had several complications, and I'm so grateful that, in the end, all three of us were healthy and well. But looking back, I realize that I would have benefited from more emotional, physical, and informational support during my pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. I became a doula so that I can be that support for others!

I birthed my son through an unmedicated VBAC, and that experience was indescribably transformative and empowering. I discovered my own life-giving strength and fell in love with birth! I also have a master's degree in Applied Linguistics and believe that words are powerful. You can check out my work on the power of our words surrounding birth at www.birthwords.com.

I'm currently shifting from a focus on birth doula work to instead focus on childbirth education and postpartum doula work as I work towards the next step on my career path: becoming a perinatal mental health therapist. I look forward to compassionately serving clients in the therapy setting and continuing to teach birth classes and serve postpartum doula clients occasionally.

Outside of birth work, I love spending time with my three awesome kids and my amazing husband! Singing, walking in nature, and yoga also bring me focus, balance, and joy. And when the mountains call, I just have to go hiking—preferably to the summit!

I would be honored to be by your side as you discover your strength!

Testimonials

"I learned a ton in Sara’s class! Each class we had great discussions that helped me feel more prepared for birth and what to expect. I was not sure if I would have a natural birth or not but either way everything I learned was helpful for whatever kind of birth I would have. Sara is knowledgeable, approachable, and friendly. I think everyone needs to take this class, especially first time pregnancies. Classes were engaging with various learning strategies used. My husband really enjoyed it too. I’ve recommended it to other expecting parents."

-Crystal

"Sara came to help me postpartum as I adjusted to life with newborn twins and a toddler. I trusted her implicitly with my children and she gave me much needed direction and advice with all things newborn twins. And I got to take naps which is essential in the newborn phase! :D"

-Sarah

"Sara was an amazing birth instructor and made my husband and I both feel much more prepared for the birth of our daughter. She gave great tools and resources that I used both in preparing for labor and during labor. She is so sweet and really cares about her clients, the classes were very beneficial and I am so glad we chose her for our birth class!"
