Hi, I’m Sophia

Midwife, mama, lactation consultant, surfer, and artist.

I welcome families of all shapes, sizes and identities. I embrace older children and family members at births. I support and celebrate neurodivergent families, queer families, and single parents.

I'm available at all hours because I love what I do and am honored to be doing this work. When I’m off call, I can be found tending to my garden, making the perfect herbal blend for a loved one, finding a secluded spot to surf, dancing to some soul music, or almost always snuggling with my toddler.

I currently offer consultation, midwifery and lactation support to families in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. I am available for travel.

If you are looking for warm, comprehensive care that lifts you up, please reach out.

I’d love to hear from you!

I'm passionate about guiding and holding families during the most tender and potent season of their lives.

Since 2012, I’ve been fortunate to support hundreds of births across a range of settings from kitchen floors to cozy bedrooms, hospital bathrooms, birth center hallways, gardens, and even the front seat of a car!

Serving people throughout the Bay Area, Southern California and Mexico, I’ve come to know birth as a sacred transformation, more than a medical event, and deserving of a co-created care experience that is skilled, attuned, and deeply compassionate.

Safety, respect, intimacy, and true informed consent are cornerstones of my practice and I bring these both to the home birth space and as a complement to hospital based care. Step into this transition feeling seen, prepared, and able to come as you are.

“She wasn’t just a member of our birthing team, she was a beacon of light and knowledge and danced the dance of labor with me in a way that I could have only hoped for.”

— MINA, OAKLAND CA

  • "Sophia has a gift of not only supporting pregnant women and new mothers physically but also at an emotional level that is overlooked or ignored in modern prenatal and postpartum medical practices. I am so grateful for her care, support and guidance as a midwife. My last birth was truly magical in large part because of her. "

    —Mina, Walnut Creek, CA

  • "Sophia is thoughtful, an incredible listener, and wonderfully direct and easy to communicate with. Sophia came to learn me well, which is important during childbirth and you’re communicating from a mammalian place! I had full trust in her, which allowed me to trust the process and have two wonderful births"

    —Kathryn, El Cerrito, CA

  • "It is not an exaggeration to say that my experience with her has changed my life - down to my fundamental understanding of and trust in my body and self. This is the experience I wish every birthing person in the world could have."

    —Lena, Palo Alto, CA

  • "Sophia has been my midwife for two of my home births now. She was so gentle and made me feel like the warrior that I am. Sophia was always there giving me the support that I needed. I love Sophia so much and appreciate everything that she has done for my family. "
