Birth is healthy, sacred, and safe.

Meadowsweet Midwifery is an independent homebirth practice serving Central Pennsylvania from State College to Lewisburg.

Midwives believe that pregnancy and birth are healthy functions of a woman's body and a wonderful transformation in her life best served by gentle support, monitoring, and minimal intervention.

We work with families to honor birth as a natural process, to welcome a new life in safety and gentleness, and to empower women to transition to motherhood rooted in trust and joy.

We got the fantastic coaching we
wanted — and SO much more. Sarah
and Lisa treated our pregnancy, birth, and
postpartum periods holistically —
with care for bodies and minds.
— Elizabeth

Sarah is a vast resource of information
and experience, and she made sure we had
time to go over every last question before
ending a prenatal visit.
— Heather

Sarah encouraged me to participate in the
birth of my son, always honoring my
comfort level. — Will

To this day (and likely for the rest
of my life), Sarah's first words —
whispered in my ear upon her arrival to our
home — still resonate in my memory,
"Dana, you're going to be a mommy."
— Dana

I believe that confidently laboring at home
enabled me to have a quick, relatively easy
birth for a first-time mom.
