nothing is more intimate than motherhood. it's the sacred dance of creation - a rites of passage into the depths of life. a homecoming into our bodies. a return to the divinity within. our life is sacred, our body is sacred, our birth is sacred. motherhood is sacred.
Birth is a sacred ceremony! may we return the sacred to the hands of the mothers & the midwives & the birth keepers
Here at Wild Nourish Earth helping to return sovereignty & autonomy to the mother, the father and the child being born is a passionate thread I like to weave.
Women! our bodies are so intelligent, we grow a life inside our body, we birth this life through our body & we feed our babies from our bodies….can I get a mic drop? This must be the greatest miracle to ever occur - the most beautiful poem ever written on creation.
This is my offering - to be of witness to the family’s greatest initiation, especially the mother’s.
An initiation that roots us deeper into our primal cellular codes, into the earth, into our life path, into our purpose. Holding space, trusting and watching as the body unfolds in its primal physiological birthing process, is the foundation I embody as a birth keeper.
Trust is the foundation.
As a ceremonial birth keeper I am here to weave the webs alongside you. Tending to the realms during each phase of pregnancy - prenatal, birth & postpartum.
My role as a birth mentor is to be of witness to the unfolding of it all, holding the mother in the highest light…. and as a shaman it is to support the birthing mother in all the realms that come forward when pregnant, in birth & the postpartum era. Realms that can bring fear, anxieties, past life remembrances, purging - because let’s be real, we live in a world where both exist - the light and the dark. We also celebrate all the life, the knowing, the trust, the joys that occur when working this intimately & ceremonially.
Together we soften, soften, soften deeper into the truth of divine love, into the remembering & knowing, that YOU’VE GOT THIS and I am just here as support.
I truly believe that mothers can be the biggest influence of positive change for this earth. All it takes is a deeply nourished mother to shift the darkness into light. This change and shift to a more sustainable, healthy, nourishing earth is why I tend to the mothers. For they live a physical, physiological, somatic initiation into the realms of life, birth and death. No greater change maker than an aligned nourished mother standing as a sovereign woman in her power.
This is the prayer.
I remember sitting in the family practice room waiting for the OBGYN to come into the room. Sitting in the chair with nervous energy flowing through my body, nauseous and young. I was so excited to be a home for a growing baby and was thinking my doctor would feel the same. Our first appointment together was a short 15 minutes, it was cold and impersonal. I told her I was nauseous and she asked if I wanted to try a medication that was still in trial. Immediately my body responded to this entire situation with a hard NO. I looked at my partner and told her that we are going to find another way. When we got into the car, I felt so defeated. I took my phone out and googled “where can you have a baby”, this is when I found home birth. I was 20 years old when I found the home birthing world and I never looked back.
Going this route was the unknown for me and everyone around me really. But I knew in my heart and bones that this was the path for me.
I spent the rest of my prenatal time researching everything home birth. Watching videos and becoming educated. I felt confident in my body’s ability to do what it was made for.
Our first born came on a New Moon in the cozy camper we were living in. His birth brought so much expansion to my life. He awakened my womb in ways only birth can do. This was when I started to really get serious about my shamanic gifts. I felt so empowered, courageous and like I could do anything - I could get through anything. My postpartum with Shea was so light and adventurous. I found us out in the mountains a lot, simply just being.
Having our second child in the water was an orgasmic experience. I remember thinking how can it feel this good? But it did. We didn’t know her gender until she was born and what a gift it was when we found out she was a girl. Having her, awakened my womb in ways of deep soul healing and soul retrieval. My postpartum with Kai was spent healing deep rooted depression. It sent me on an inner journey quest that lasted many years and led me to plant medicine which really opened another layer.
Our third baby came on a Full Moon . This was my only completely undisturbed birth. She was born in the arms of her father and I was witnessed by women closest to me. I had a lot of fear arise this time. But having the support of these two women, really made me feel so loved. I was able to fully surrender and trust my body. My womb was once again initiated. Having baby Koda come through was the last push for me to really get to the depths of what needed to be healed in order for me to offer myself and my services. It was a heroines journey of calling all parts of myself back and fully stepping into alignment with my soul’s calling.
I truly cannot say enough positive things about working with Sarah. We found each other at the exact right time in life, as I was entering the beginning of my first pregnancy. I was feeling all the normal intense emotions that come with this time and knew I wanted a home birth but wanted support to stay confident in trusting my inner wisdom and body in preparation and in labor. Her unique packages offer a wide variety of services that meet you in mind, body and spirit that you would not find with many traditional birth keepers. The teas and body oils nourished my changing body and grounded me while the energy healing sessions helped me release fear, anger, constriction, sadness and doubt. Sarah sat alongside me as a steady anchor and guide through many tears and much laughter. As a storyteller, wisdom gleaned from her lived experience which comes through and helped me remember we are never alone in this journey. As a space holder I always felt safe being vulnerable with her. Her voice (yes, she even sings to you) is angelic and brought me instantly to peace and surrender when I was questioning everything. I had a beautiful, empowering home birth that I attribute much of to the transformational work we did together during pregnancy. She is a forever cherished auntie in the life of me and my daughter. If you are eager to align yourself with a birth keeper who tends to both spirit and soma while helping you recover your inherent strength as a birthing woman and mother, Sarah is your guide. I whole heartedly recommend her through and through.

’Sarah was my Doula for my first birth and her offerings will forever be held in my heart. As I went into labor, I called Sarah to let her know. She came over swiftly with her “tool bag.” She came with tools to cleanse the space, create the ceremonial birth space, teas and tinctures, and more. I was in labor for 36 hours, and Sarah was here for about 30 of those hours.
She held space for all those hours in a beautiful intuitive way. She held the wisdom of midwifery as she helped guide me through the birthing process. We started with a ceremony, where she helped guide me into the birthing portal. During this process, I had a lot of fear that manifested as a severe headache. It hurt worse than any contraction and I immediately wanted to abandon my home birth. Sarah worked me with with her shamanic gifts to help me trust in my body and my headache was relieved. As my labor was going deeper into the birthing portal, she prepared my home with smells of comfort, soft music, nourishing food to fuel me along my journey.
Every contraction brought me deeper to holding my son in my arms, and with each contraction, came a new depth of my soul rebirthing, my womb expanding and physical pain that was hard to surrender to. My husband did everything he learned from our birthing course, but birthing courses don’t teach you the innate wisdom in our bodies and our midwifery lineage to truly midwife a laboring mother. But Sarah knew, it was truly a gift to receive. Sarah sang to me, and whispered sweet words of encouragement as I breathed through each contraction. Sarah was my doula, but she embodied an ancient midwife who held me so deeply as I was going through the journey of birthing my son. I remember just when I thought I couldn’t go any longer, she’d hold me a little deeper. And that hold was the difference of knowing I could go deeper into my womb to birth my son.
Her love didn’t end when my birth ended, it truly only began. Sarah came over to my house everyday and made me nourishing food and teas. She still spoke sweet words of love to me as I was so vulnerable. Her food was filled with love, and prepared with the knowing of what a new mother needs. Her teas were filled with loving energy to help me heal, produce milk and feel the comfort of a great mother.
That is what Sarah is, a great mother, who knows how to mother a new mother. It is my greatest wish that every woman can be held the way Sarah held me through my whole birthing process.’’
