Four for four. This family lives on a rural ranch over three hours away in a different state. Four times they’ve traveled to the Treasure Valley to have their babies and each time, I’ve had the honor of attending them. They were our inaugural birth suite birth. And our first family to have had a second birth suite birth with Sage. This tiny sweet pea came into the world yesterday, and given the extensive travel home, it seemed more fitting to tuck them into bed and have them stay overnight. This is not the norm, but it is the necessary way to jumpstart healing and breastfeeding. Congratulations to this beautiful family! We are elated for you and honored to witness and nurture you in these sacred births! Special thanks to the chickens who live right outside the birth suite, for their contributions to a nourishing breakfast.

🇺🇸9/11
With each birth, I notice how within the walls of the labor space, time stands still while the world around us blurs with a fury, continuing on at a rapid pace.

Most of us collectively share the memory of when our nation, together, stood still in the horror and trauma of terror attacks. And on that day, midwives still midwifed, mothers still labored, and babies were born.

And to this day, together, our nation still pauses, and midwives still midwife, mothers still labor, and babies are born. For a fleeting moment, we remember that we are not promised tomorrow.

Early this morning, for the second time in under 6 weeks, I witnessed my forever friend, a stroke survivor, become a grandmother for the third time. No words can capture the reverence of attending the daughter who saved her mother’s life with quick thinking and advocacy. Nor can words capture seeing her younger sister, with babe in arms, attend her older sister and serve her in the ways her sister had done for her just weeks prior.

In the quiet of the night, we began 9/11 with a birth pause, the l***y wail of a perfect baby boy, and the sweet relief and weeping of both his birth warrior mother and those around her. To stand together in the moments after, remembering that we are not promised tomorrow, while savoring the second chance at life that allowed us to all be there in love and support, and honoring that this little boy’s birthday serves as a reminder to keep moving forward…

The travail and sorrow of labor is met ten-fold with light and love. To the babies born today, welcome. Thank you for being our silver lining and sunshine, our nudge to smile and celebrate joyful moments, to let feelings co-exist, and to remember our purpose in moving forward, as we heal the planet by healing birthing.🌎

I watched the clock carefully on the drive home. 6:46 a.m. MST. I paused. 7:03 a.m. MST. I paused again. The memories felt as vivid as yesterday, except this time, with the balm of the sound of a newborn’s cry.

🌿The Birth Suite🌿
While Sage Midwifery is primarily a homebirth practice, and we encourage those seeking a birth center birth to do just that, for those with a heart desiring a homebirth, we have a birth suite. This special space is located in the quiet foothills of Star and reserved for those with extenuating living circumstances such as campers or RVs, home disasters, apartments with quiet hours, or those traveling for care from deeply rural areas who desire both better maternity care and emergency options. The goal is to use this space as little as possible, and as willingly as genuinely needed. This month, this space will welcome two families, whom I’ve had the honor of caring for both, four times in a row. They know the drill…..get here on time, slip into the warm water for a few minutes, have a baby, get tucked into bed, and wait for the fresh scrambled eggs, toast and jam, and whatever fruits are on in the orchard while they nurse and bond with their newborn. If it’s nighttime, they’ll nap until sunrise and head home. If it’s daytime, their families might come visit. And the birth team stands on the driveway to wave goodbye as they depart. This birth suite, lovingly named The Sylvan Suite, is a sacred sliver of the ministry of Sage. No little girl imagines they’ll grow up to be a midwife who catches babies in their own home, but I’m here to say, never say never. For this mama midwife, finding my young adult and teenage children lined up on the stairs a story above us, waiting in silence for that first cry to ring out in our home, makes this calling even more divine.

🌺Sage Midwifery had the honor of hosting Dani from Island Mamas Midwifery in Hilo, Hawaii.🌺
Though our midwifery paths only overlapped briefly in Idaho nearly 15 years ago, our friendship has continued to grow as sister midwives. Imagine our shock and laughter as we realized we both had: the same call phone case, the same pedicure color, the same hair clip, as well as sharing in sending children off to college this week and savoring in the healing balm our youngest sons (born a few months apart) brought to our souls. My son was anxious to ask her if she had ever had the honor of attending Native Hawaiians and her reality is, she regularly attends the descendants of Native Hawaiian royalty…..and she is deeply worthy of doing so. Before I knew her as a friend, I knew of her integrity as a midwife. Her integrity has left a legacy within the very foundations of modern-day midwifery in our state. I finally was able to tell her that in person. Our state-side, land-locked birth world is privileged in ways I cannot take for granted - the ease of accessing emergency medication refills that are delivered to my office in hours with a smile and hug, the 24/7 access points of care, the nurses and physicians who greet us in moments of exhaustion with grace and a spirit of protecting birth wishes, and the simplicity of our most difficult travels being a handful of blizzards versus washed out mountainous dirt roads and fallen trees with birth bags that convert into hiking backpacks. Someday, in a quiet month of the year, Dani and I will switch homes and practices for a week as each other’s back-up midwives. Until then, our time was far too short and the mamas were calling so we had to go……Aloha, my beloved sister.electa

Student Swap Week 2025
(Visualize the Parent Trap handshake for full appreciation)

Our student midwives have been asking to do a student swap week all year and this week, we finally made it happen! Sage Midwifery had the pleasure of welcoming Annsley Rae Robb and Grace O’Neill to participate in the care of Sage families, and and their clients welcomed Samantha Simpson and Amber Stewart with open arms. Our group text has been full of celebration, students eager to share what they learned, and photographs that capture what I will shamelessly proclaim my favorite work week of 2025! Thank you to all the clients and consultations who opened their hearts and appointments to our student midwives. Trust me, you’ll want to scroll to the end of these photos. 💄💅🏻💋

From Grace:
“It has been a blessing and I’m truly grateful. Thank you for sharing all the love and passion this week. It’s is something I will carry with me.”

From Annsley Rae:
“This week has been such a treat! Makes me forever want to learn from my community.
Thank you CPM’s for making it happen. Thank you Sam and Amber for sharing your preceptor and for making me feel so included in your people’s care. It was such a gift.”

From Amber:
“Thank you for arranging for us to loop in with each other. The collaboration and sisterhood is all I’ve ever dreamed of for my midwifery journey.”

From Rebecca:
“I can’t believe I get to enjoy all of this so early in my career. I love that this can be what midwifery looks like in my world.”

From Alyse:
“I had a wonderful day with Samantha! We had some fun and interesting conversations!”

From Sam:
“Alyse had me do all the blood draws and I got every single vein first stick! So that was a fun thing I wasn’t expecting. I have a list of things to Google, too!”

Alright sister midwives and students, who wants to join into the rotation next time?

Take a deep breath, you’re home now…..
It’s rare for a mother to be fully ready for her baby at the moment of birth. This mother took the most spectacular birth pause, her spouse holding baby for over a minute so mom could catch her breath. “Open your eyes and look at your baby,” I quietly encouraged. She did. The room wept alongside her. And with that, she scooped her baby into her hands and fell in love.

The Sage Midwifery team spent the afternoon celebrating our office assistant/receptionist, Mary, per her request, the month *after* her birthday. If you call in and someone answers, thank Mary. If you see me pull lab tubes or washcloths or whatever seems to never be low on supply, thank Mary. All our organizational systems wouldn’t be in place without her. I had the honor of caring for her over a decade ago and always, always knew she’d be part of Sage when the time came. We love you, Mary!

💄Home Visit Midwife Makeovers💋
This big sis has shared in the participation of three of her mama’s pregnancies with Sage Midwifery. Back in 2023, while her mama labored into the evening, she got bored and asked to do my makeup as we both sat by the birth pool. I had nothing to lose. She finished my makeover as transition kicked in (throwback photo in last slide circa 2023!) I’ve genuinely never been so glam for a birth. When Samantha and I arrived for their home visit last month, my heart sunk as we knocked on the door…..and I laughed. I’d forgotten to tell Samantha I’d agreed to midwife makeovers for the both of us during this home visit. “We’re getting our makeup done,” I quickly said, hooking her arm as the door opened and walking in with a chuckle. If you know Sam, you know she’s up for anything. We’ve never left a home visit so sparkly. I love this big sis more than she will ever know. I love her mama, who knows her strength and is instilling that strength into her children. And I loved that she let both her daughter and the midwives multi-task to provide makeovers and prenatal care simultaneously. Sam and I were sparkly for a very long time and while I got to go home after this prenatal, Sam was able to debut her looks for a Costco run, and per her report, she was eye-catching to the crowds.💋

💞We raised our babies together💞
I’ve had the honor and deep satisfaction of midwifing some women whom I’ve watched go from childhood, to maiden, to mother. When this dear friend’s oldest daughter/former client sent me an urgent message about her mother (pictured) last year, every worst-case thought flashed through my mind. A week before her second daughter’s wedding, my friend had a stroke. Her oldest daughter happened to stop by and found her in an uncharacteristic state, called 911, and saved her life. By no coincidence, a gap in my clinic schedule appeared and I was able to drop and run to the ICU to be with her. Not knowing if she’d be wheelchair-bound, able to communicate, or even live, I vowed to be part of her care team at home. Her daughters’ lives flashed in my mind - all the things their mom might miss or not be able to help with as young mothers themselves - I felt the weight and role of stepping in if they ever needed, and quietly vowed to do so in my heart. Her daughter and EMS had acted so quickly that she received the stroke-reversal medication. She would be ok, she would make it to her second daughter’s wedding. To this day, she is still recovering. Honored to care for one of her girls yet again recently, I watched her switch places with her son-in-law, holding her daughter during birth as he caught the baby. And as I do, in the lull between birth and when the placenta separates, I doffed my gloves and scanned the room to make sure everyone else present was doing ok. My friend, now a grandma for the second time, crying, said, “Katy, how do you do this every day?” She was referencing the intensity and emotion of nature’s most raw, true miracle. I hugged her. This friend was one of the first people I ever let touch, let alone hold my rainbow baby nearly a decade prior. I didn’t want to let go of her. Together, we watched the once-little-girl we both knew and loved, journey through the thinning veil, climb up her soul to heaven, then back to earth to become a mother. We’ve lived a lot of life together, but this day, thus far, was by far our best. We raised our babies together and in (a long) time she’ll welcome me into grandmotherhood.

🏃🏻‍♀️Moms for Multiple Myeloma 5K🏃🏻‍♀️
These wonderful Sage families, including grandparents, met this morning to support as they hosted a 5K fun run fundraiser on behalf of one of their clients who, as a young mother of 4, including a newborn, is battling a rare and incurable cancer. This event helped raise over $3,700! Thank you to midwife Rebecca and both her team and family for bringing us all together for such a worthy cause. I wish every Saturday morning included a walk, catching up, seeing Sage babies and families grow a little taller/bigger, and continuing connections and relationship building. I think the dads did the most phone number exchanging! 😂 All our love and prayers to the Martin family!

Our hearts are with the Field family as baby Gracie undergoes a bone marrow transplant today. A perfect match wasn’t identified for her, despite our community’s efforts to help grow the donor registry, so today they move forward with her father as her closest match. Please pray for baby Gracie and her family. And please pray for all those enduring great health concerns with their tiny babes. Healing, strength, recovery, endurance, and envelopment in love and support. .fieldd
