Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Newark, CA

As a full spectrum birth-keeper, sexual/reproductive & lactation educator, and womb-space ceremonialist, I hold space for you to have continuous, high quality support that is infused with culturally responsive care, and embedded within a framework of advocacy. As such, I provide physical, emotional, and educational support and guidance to all birthing people, their partners, their families, and communities across the lifespan, reproductive landscape, and for all reproductive circumstances and outcomes. Earthseed Birthwork praxis is steeped in the belief that within the hallowed grounds of your wholeness – your lived experiences and unique socio-cultural contexts, your dreams, and your life journey, there is an opportunity for YOUR divinely aligned birth journey to come forth. I specialize in serving as guide, helping you investigate and get curious about, cultivate, and then traverse your own birth ceremony, the complex and oftentimes daunting medical system's model of care, and matrescence – the wholeness (physically, psychologically, and socially) of becoming a mother/parent…all while centering the sacred and traditional practices that have safely held birthing people for time immemorial. Bearing witness to, being deeply present for, and reflecting your own innate power to call forth and touch into the dance of your intuition, are my gifts. Working with me is intended to be more than a mere hand-holding, it is meant to be a full person witnessing, and the sanctuary of safe space to support the expansion of your capacity to be present with all that arises on your journey. I believe all births are immeasurably transformative...birth shape- shifts us into whatever next iteration this life is calling forth for us. When allowed, birth may expose you to rapturous wonder, deep discomfort, indescribable joy, and the instinctive knowing that you will forever physically, emotionally, and spiritually be changed. Care Setting I meet people where they are, and not where I may perceive they ‘should’ be…literally and figuratively. I hold and offer care within in-person spaces, homes, virtually, office, and outside underneath the sky’s blanket.

I also believe in the importance of finding the right fit—every family deserves a doula who feels like the right match for their values, needs, and journey.

I began my training with Birthing From Within in 2020, five years after giving birth to my own daughter.

I remain deeply passionate about advocating for mothers and birthing people, empowering them to trust their body's natural and innate wisdom.

Consultant. Doula. Mama. www.mydoulasarah.com Twenty+ years ago, I ran into a college acquaintance at a friends' wedding. She told me she was a Doula. It was the first I'd ever heard of it. Shortly thereafter, I returned to the New York publishing and theater world, later moved to British Columbia to pursue degrees and a career in arts education, birthed my two favorite humans, and then moved to the Bay Area, California, where I was welcomed into the Jewish professional community. Throughout my movement in these roles, I never stopped thinking about what life would be like as a Doula. It took some time, but here I am, pursuing a decades-long dream. And when I'm not reminiscing about my own transformational career path, or working with growing families across the Bay Area, I'm still singing my children to sleep (even the one who's now taller than me).

As a postpartum doula, I focus on nurturing the mother, creating steadiness in the home, and helping the whole family integrate this new chapter with care, confidence, and connection. My goal is to provide grounded support so you feel seen, rested, and truly supported during this tender and transformative time.

My path to birth work was deeply personal — shaped by three very different birth experiences that taught me how transformative the right support can be. It was during my third birth, with the help of a doula, that I witnessed firsthand the power of continuous, compassionate care — not just for me, but for my husband, who was able to show up as the hero of our story. That experience called me to this work. I come alongside families during this powerful and vulnerable time with warmth and steady presence, and I bring personal experience with inductions, medicated and unmedicated labors, cesareans, and NICU stays. I am currently completing my doula certification and am deeply committed to the families I serve. Whatever your birth looks like, I will be there — informed, caring, and fully in your corner.
