Respecting and Honoring Natural Childbirth

A holistic Midwifery practice honoring both mother and child, dedicated to expanding access to care and reducing health disparities.

Returning birth to its sacred roots

The seated woman has braids and is wearing a gray t-shirt and white shorts, while the kneeling woman has short curly hair and is wearing a beige shirt and pants. The room has a dresser with small candles and framed photos, a mirror, and wall decorations including a picture and a round sign that says 'Meditation in Session, Please Do Not Disturb.' The space is warmly lit and decorated with lamps, plants, and artwork.

Why Sage Femme

Holistic Care

Your birth experience is honored as a sacred life passage. Care is gentle, intuitive, and centered on your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Empowerment Through Choice

When you are informed and supported, you birth with confidence. We honor your voice, your rhythm, and your body’s wisdom.

Personalized Support

Every pregnancy and birth is different. Care is tailored to your body, your family, and your birth vision — so you feel supported, prepared, and never rushed.

Meet the Founder

Yogi is a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) with over two decades of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Her practice, Sage Femme Birth Services, is rooted in holistic care, empowerment, and honoring the natural rhythm of birth in a safe and nurturing environment.

Birth Equity & Advocacy

Disparities are impediments to social justice.

Black Mamas and Black Babies are three times more likely to die than White Mamas and White Babies from pregnancy-related causes.

Addressing the social determinants of health — the non-medical factors that influence a person’s health and wellbeing — is essential in reducing maternal and infant morbidity, prematurity, and low infant birthweight.

Public awareness of these statistics is crucial. Support your midwives by sharing their services with friends and families. There must be accountability across government agencies, employers, schools, churches, outreach programs, and community organizations to improve pregnancy outcomes for vulnerable populations.

Together, we can help create a future where every mother and baby receives the dignity, care, and support they deserve.
