For over a decade, I have had the great honor of working with expecting, laboring and postpartum families. I have come to appreciate through experience the simplicities, intricacies, and many presentation in between that birth can present uniquely different for each individual family.

There has been countless “take away lessons” I have learned in my tenure in birth work and paramount to all else, I have found; “there is no place for personal judgement in a person’s birth.” I firmly believe there is no “always right” or “definite” answer to use as a blanket formula when approaching birth. Rather, we must hold space and allow each birthing family to encompass how birth unfolds for them.

My journey into midwifery started well before my last 3.5 years of training collectively with Debra Studey, CPM, LM, and Christy Feiker, CPM, LM. My love and passion for midwifery has been birthed from my experiences and education from: Pre-med undergraduate degree, followed by a nursing degree, private practice lactation work as an IBCLC, birth doula, childbirth educator, placenta encapsulator, healthcare missionary work in Kenya, community collaborator, birth activist, and through the birth of my own two beautiful children. It is all of this that has been the foundation to where I have started and what is the ground work for Birth in Color Midwifery. As a result, I have had the pleasure to be, humbly invited to more than 500 families’ most sacred space to witness as they embrace allowing their birth experience to become their own…

What my clients are saying:

Ali

“I had Sabrina for the birth of my fifth child. She was absolutely amazing!! We have dealt with several different midwives over our previous births and she’s hands down our favorite! She’s super chill and laid back about things, but if there’s something that could be an issue she checks into it right away. Our whole family loves her, and can’t wait to use her again for our next baby!”

“I first want to say my family and I 100% recommend Sabrina she is beyond awesome. My first pregnancy was pretty crazy. At birth my son was diagnosed with down syndrome, I fault so unsupported, uneducated, lost, confused and overall just fault left with no one to simply make that awesome birth worth celebrating. 2yrs later when we decided to have another child we wanted to make sure all my wishes was met and someone who we can really bond with and support me regardless of our situation. A friend told me about Choice Matters. Omg that best thing that happened to us. When we met Sabrina and we knew from that second we would love her and truth be told we do. Every concern I ever had she listened and really helped me through, my 2nd sweet boy was born the other day at home it was beautiful and I was at peace. I called Sabrina and she talked to me through until she got here. I really wanted to breastfeed because I never got that chance the first time and not only am I a down syndrome rockin mom, I'm also a breastfeeding rockin mom as well. Sabrina really made this experience the best and if I can go back I will do it again with baby #1 just so I can choose Sabrina and have another 9 months with her.”

“I found Sabrina when I decided on a home birth for our 3rd baby. Every prenatal visit I was informed of my options and I was able to be an active participant in my pregnancy. She listened to all of my desires and concerns. When it was baby day, she listened to cues I didn’t even know I was sending and arrived before I really even realized I was in labor. A good thing with my history of speedy labors. Sabrina supported my desire to have a water birth in my bath tub since we would not have time to fill her tub, and allowed me to push in a position comfortable to me, even though it was more difficult for her see and assist. She was so calm and relaxed and supportive. Post natal care was amazing not having to leave our house at all for the first week. She visited us twice to do newborn testing and weight checks, asked how I was feeling and doing as well. She checked in regularly and was available to answer and questions I had. I’m so glad i chose a home birth with Sabrina and would absolutely do it again- if I can get hubby on board for another baby.”
