Full-spectrum care for the
road to motherhood.

Doula support, birth classes, and perinatal chaplaincy care for central NJ.

Motherhood is a journey, not a destination.

For some, the path is relatively straight. But for many of us, it comes with twists and turns: long journeys to pregnancy, or unexpectedly short ones; grieving loss, and carrying that into subsequent pregnancies; the worry that comes with complications, or the excitement and anticipation in preparating for birth.

For all of us, no matter the journey, matrescence (or the transition to motherhood) is a moment of radical change. You, your body, and your spirit are adapting to make way for new life: the new life within you, and your new life as a mother. You deserve care and compassionate support for that journey.

I need support for loss

I’m Sara, and I support women through pregnancy, birth, fertility, and loss.

As a doula, I offer hands-on support and care during pregnancy and birth. I combine extensive knowledge of coping techniques and pain management with birthing positions and trauma-informed care. My only goal is to help you feel safe and supported during labor, so you can have the birth you want. Learn more.

As a chaplain, I offer compassionate spiritual care for women reconciling their bodies and souls with reproductive trauma. My work is grounded in the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit. By weaving together dialogue, mindfulness, and somatic practice, I help you find grounding and wholeness in your story, whether that be a fertility journey, perinatal mental health struggles, mourning a loss, or processing a traumatic birth.

Workshops

I also offer a few specialized services to help you process and draw meaning from your experiences with fertility, pregnancy, and birth. These experiences use therapeutic art practices and story work to help you engage with your beliefs, work through fears, and process or prepare for major experiences like birth.

Meditations

I offer free guided meditation tracks for pregnancy, fertility, and loss over at InsightTimer. These can be great resources for those who want daily touchpoints, or for whom the prospect of talking about a loss or pregnancy feels too daunting right now. You take a look here, or listen on this page for a sample.

Client feedback

  • “Thank you again for everything you do, Sara. The concepts that you've been teaching and sharing with me are just life changing, you are literally healing me and probably healing all the women I'm related to in past generations. It feels huge!”

  • “I want to thank you for that session. I had no idea how it would feel going into it and I feel such peace now, after. I haven’t cried about [my baby]’s birth in years and it felt like a relief. What an insanely beautiful gift to give to mamas who’ve struggled through birth trauma.”

  • “Birth art therapy with Sara offered me a safe and supportive space to explore my fears. From the very beginning, she created a warm, welcoming, and confidential environment that allowed me to go deep. She offered a thoughtful prompt to guide our session, and the materials she provided encouraged creative expression without the pressure to make something perfect. Throughout the session, Sara was attentive, respectful, and present. She listened without judgment and never pushed for explanations I wasn’t ready to give. Her gentle presence allowed me to process at my own pace—and for that, I’m deeply grateful.”

  • “Sara held a safe and gentle space in which to explore my own stories around birth as something dangerous. Through my birth art session, I began to create a new relationship to birth, feeling into its potential as a multi-faceted experience full of beauty and mystery. I highly recommend Sara's services to anyone hesitant to explore their own birth narratives and experiences, and trust they will be both held and respected.”
