I grew up in southern Germany and have always been fascinated with pregnancy and childbirth. I earned a B.S. in Nutritional Science at the University of Jena before pursuing my calling in midwifery - a path I had felt drawn to for many years.
During that time and in my work in the hospital, I had the privilege of catching countless babies and supporting hundreds of women through labor and the early postpartum period.
Outside of doula work, I enjoy woodworking, sewing, gardening, and spending quiet, meaningful time with my family.
Hello, I'm Sarah.
Midwifery-trained Doula based in Seattle.
I completed my three-year midwifery training at the respected midwifery program at the University Clinic in Heidelberg, earning my professional degree in 2020.
I value me to supporting you not only as individuals, but as a couple. The journey into parenthood brings profound change that will reshape your relationship, your roles, and your senses of self. Caring for your relationship and yourselves is just as important as caring for your new baby!
While I work within the scope of a doula, my midwifery background allows me to offer a deeper level of understanding. I will help you feel informed and confident, whether it’s asking the right questions of your healthcare providers or exploring your options throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. While I do not give medical advice, I will guide you in finding what feels right for your family.
Every parent’s journey is unique, and my goal is to provide gentle, non-judgmental supports to help families feel confident, connected, and deeply cared for every step of the way.
I am a mother myself. We welcomed our first son in 2021 and our second son in 2024, who was born at home here in Seattle. These experiences have deepened my understanding of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in a way no training ever could. Despite my professional knowledge, I found the transition into motherhood to be both profoundly magical while also very challenging. My own journey has shaped the way I support families today, with lots of empathy, reassurance and practical support.
