About Sara

My Journey to Midwifery

Hi, I'm Sara! I have sought to encourage pregnant women and mothers for as long as I can remember. Even in high school, pregnant acquaintances turned to me for compassionate help. As I had children of my own, the opportunities to provide encouragement and support grew.

Walking out of my first prenatal visit with a community midwife, CPM Peggy Franklin, I knew I needed to bring the Midwifery Model of Care to the Northern Neck of Virginia. I began studying to be a midwife in 2014, with my 7th baby in my lap, and attended my very first birth in 2015. During the course of my training, I attended over 80 births and assisted in the prenatal and postpartum care of over 200 families under the guidance of 12 different midwives in 7 practices across Virginia and Maryland.

In 2023, I graduated from the National Midwifery Institute, achieved certification through the North American Registry of Midwives as a Certified Professional Midwife, and became a Virginia Licensed Midwife, fulfilling my goal of bringing safe birth choices to the Northern Neck of Virginia.
