Woven Community Midwives

- Sarah J Mead (she/her)

Generous Words From Clients

  • "I cannot say enough about my experience working with Sarah. After three hospital births (without a midwife), I was considering a home birth for my fourth but was initially hesitant to take the leap. Wow am I glad that I did!!!! Sarah was patient, kind, thorough, and so knowledgable. Her presence was both elevating and calming. My home birth experience is something hard to put into words, but truly the best decision I could have ever made. I would 10000% recommend Sarah for anyone interested in her services!"

    - Christina, 2025

  • "I can’t rave enough about Sarah. Her knowledge, skills, support, and calming nature helped me so much for my first pregnancy. Even having to be transferred to a hospital to get induced, her coaching is unmatched and helped me relax during such an intense stressful time. She carries peace with her wherever she goes. Very happy that she’s by my side for my second baby."

    - Mikayla, 2025

  • "Sarah was my midwife for both of my homebirths, and she is truly amazing. Her calm presence made me feel safe and supported every step of the way. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and personable. Thank you, Sarah!"

    - Elana 2025

  • "Sarah was the perfect person to support me throughout my pregnancy and delivery, and for the beginning of my postpartum experience. Her calming presence and guidance made me feel so safe and empowered. She helped me achieve the birth experience I had hoped for, and I always felt like I was in capable hands. Sarah's expertise was evident in every interaction, from prenatal check-ups to navigating unexpected challenges postpartum. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a midwife who is both skilled and deeply caring."

    - Rawley, 2024

  • "My husband and I highly recommend Sarah! She was always just a phone call away throughout my pregnancy and she took the time to answer all of my questions (big and small), never rushed our visits, and always provided evidence based guidance while also respecting my wishes. During my homebirth, she was very encouraging and kept reminding me that I could do it! She knew exactly when to step in with support and when to give me space to trust my body. I felt completely at ease knowing she was there to keep both me and my baby safe. Sarah is truly gifted at what she does, and we are so grateful for her!"

    - Morgan, 2024

  • "Sarah played such a key role in making this whole process through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum one that felt calm, safe, nurtured and natural. She is such a gift to the birthing community."

    - H, 2023

  • “Sarah was a wonderful resource and of utmost assistance to creating my dream come true! I felt genuinely supported and cared for. Sarah honored my values and wishes. She provided me with a wealth of knowledge and education. Sarah was encouraging, empowering and impartial. She offered individualized care in a calm and gentle manner. Everyone asks if I would do it all over again (my first birth and home birth) and my answer is YES with the same midwives! “

    - M, 2023

  • "Sarah was very kind and knowledgeable. Being in her care was more than I could have asked for. She allowed me to labor peacefully, only "interrupting" when necessary. As a mom who prioritizes laboring and birthing at home with minimal intervention, having Sarah as a midwife was a blessing. Without needing to advocate for myself, Sarah knew how to read the room and gauge the level of intervention that may be necessary. Throughout my entire pre-natal care, she was knowledgeable and always offered such great calming energy. Once again, I am so thankful that I had Sarah on my birthing team. "

    - M, 2022

  • "I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have met Sarah early in my pregnancy journey with our fourth baby. From the start, her warmth and kindness stood out. My kids adored her and she was always encouraging of their (very eager) assistance during our visits. Her ability to connect with them individually added a comforting layer to our prenatal appointments. During labor Sarah played an absolutely vital role as both a birth assistant and as an unwavering support. She was always calm and reassuring. Sarah's presence and contributions were invaluable, and I genuinely believe my labor experience was greatly enhanced because of her expertise and compassionate care. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone seeking a midwife who brings not only professional skill but also a genuine commitment of care to the entire family."

    - N, 2022

  • "I cannot express how wonderful it is to have brought my son into the world in the best way for both of us and with zero regret. He and I are both thriving and I know it is due to our care. Sarah's gentle reassurance brought me comfort and confidence throughout the pregnancy and birth."

    - A , 2022

  • "Sarah helped guide us on our journey through pregnancy and birth. Her support through labor especially helped us have a productive and positive experience and for that our family is forever grateful."
