Person with long hair wearing glasses and a light jacket standing in front of a mountainous landscape.

I’m Sara, and I’m deeply passionate about women’s health, healing, and spiritual care.

I’m currently earning a Master’s of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, where I’m pursuing courses in the spiritual care of women, including independent coursework in perinatal pastoral care. I have a Bachelor’s in Religion from Wellesley College and Oxford University. I am a certified Birth and Bereavement Doula (SBD), and am trained in Birth Art and Mentoring through Birthing From Within. I am also an author of books and several devotionals.
In my home life, I am a partner, mother, and devoted friend. My path to motherhood was woven from three losses and the birth of our first living daughter.

Personal experience: infertility, recurrent losses, ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy after loss
