Sarah Clark, BBCI

My name is Sarah Clark and I teach natural birth classes in Ukiah, California. I have been a natural childbirth teacher since 2008.  Originally trained as a Bradley Method teacher, in 2012, I switched gears and began teaching Birth Boot Camp, a fully updated, modern, family centered and relaxation based approach to helping families have amazing natural births.  

When I teach my  number one priority is to get the couple working well together.  I have seen through years of teaching and dozens upon dozens of couples the birth goes best when both partners understand the birth process and know what they can individually (and collectively) do to have a fantastic birth.  The birth partner is trained to comfort the mama through the journey of birth.  He will know how to touch her, talk to her, and help her relax.  He will understand the process of birth and he will not fear it.  His confidence in the process and in her is invaluable to BOTH parents having a good experience.

The mother will know how capable her body is of having a natural birth.  She will learn all she can do before the birth in order stay low risk and be physically primed for the joys and the work of birth.  She will be confident in herself, her birth team, and in her partner.  

In addition to teaching natural birth classes I write a natural childbirth and parenting blog called Mama Birth, I am on the board of directors for Birth Boot Camp and I help train new teachers every year and write content for their materials.  I also regularly contribute to the Mothering.com website as a blogger and I have been published in various natural parenting magazines.  I am also the mother of four children.  My oldest was born naturally in a  hospital after a long labor, my second was a water birth in a birth center and my youngest two were born at home.  I have birthed in literally every birth place possible and I know I can help prepare a couple for birth no matter where they choose to do it. 

I grew up in Redwood Valley and am excited to be back in the area teaching natural birth and to be an organizing memeber of the Northern Californnia Birth Collective.  

I teach in Ukiah at Mendocino Baby and I teach in Healdsburg at Healdsburg Yoga.
