“I am so glad we chose to have Sarah there for our birth. She was an additional calm, loving presence filled with respect and awe. Genuinely it felt like I had a trusted friend by my side while she was in our birth space.”
“Sarah was calm and collected the entire time, going with the flow and offering support when I needed it. I truly enjoyed her presence, and knowing that she was part of my birth team brought me comfort in both the days before labor and during birth.”
Birth Witness FAQ
What is a birth “Keeper”?
Like a Bee “Keeper” who cares for and protects the bees, I care for and protect birth. Why does birth need protecting? The story around birth has fallen from a right of passage women looked forward to, to a story of trauma, pain, and danger. Giving birth has the power to transform our lives, and imprint our children with resilience, love, and safety. Birth is at the root of how we relate to our vitality, our instincts, and our divinity. And whether by accident or by design, generation after generation this is being taken from us.
What is your education?
Four + years of devouring all of the birth knowledge I can get my hands on. Books, Podcasts, conversations with Authentic Midwives, being in community with Birth Keepers, and in circles of powerful women giving birth on their own terms. I have to thank the Free Birth Society, for being a huge catalyst of my birth understanding, and how I can best serve my community of women in integrity.
Are you a doula?
“You should be a doula.” is something I have heard countless times. But something always felt off for me. The word “Doula” is slowly being coopted by the same system who doulas are trying to protect pregnant women from. The red tape of requiring “certifications” is the exact reason I am not interested in gaining a “certification”.
The number one credential needed to hold space for others, is to do my own inner work. While I have taken many birth classes, no certification has felt in alignment. I have daily practices that have allowed me to transform my inner and outer world. I have to thank my hypnotherapist Lopa, as well as my mentor and yoga teacher Jody for their gifts of wisdom.
