Homespun Midwifery
We serve growing families in the Portland area. We provide unrushed and personalized care to growing
With mixed emotions, I announce that Homespun Midwifery will no longer be accepting new clients. I am taking a sabbatical to return to school in hopes of expanding my scope of care. It is scary to step away from a practice- and all it’s incredible clients! - that I have committed myself to but I trust that this is the best next step! I will miss providing this intimate form of care but also trust that I will return if and when the time is right.
Taking a blood pressure reading at each prenatal visit is one of the many ways monitoring our clients’ well-being. If levels start to rise, but are still within normal range, we review lifestyle changes and prescribe herbs to support their cardiovascular system. Photo credit

Integrating siblings into the birth world is such a joy. It can be a lot for little ones but we do our best to maintain a calm environment and include them however we can. Thank you again to for capturing the these moments!

So much of our job as midwives is meeting birthing people right where they are at. We get to be there with them in the intensity of labor, the sweet relief after they have their baby safely in their arms, and indulge in certain sense of humor that only the childbearing experience can offer. It fills our cup to establish such meaningful relationships with our clients.
This client bravely met what her body demanded of her as she swiftly brought her baby earth side.
A million thanks to for making it to the birth on time and capturing such incredible moments! If you are looking for a photographer for any event in your life, she’s the one!

🌼Feeling gratitude for midwifery today.🌼
As a midwife, you never really know what each day will bring. Caring for clients in the country allows me to slow down and be present with the earth. Breathing in the fresh air is reinvigorating and grounding. I paused to take one more gulp of fresh air and check out Mt Hood before heading back to town!
Excited to welcome the next round of babies into this world!
Alright, brace yourself Homespun crew- our dear Sarah would like to announce the arrival of her baby girl Elowyn Elizabeth born on 04/12!
It is always a privilege to walk this path of motherhood with clients but getting to do it with Sarah has truly been remarkable.
Elowyn clearly continues to thrive and just started smiling! 😆We are over the moon in love. Welcome little darling! 🥰

Despite all that is going on in the world, people are still giving birth. Babies continue to remind me of our resiliency- delicate but strong. As a midwife, I feel like we live in the “in-between” as we usher new lives into this world. While we spend so much time with babies in utero, it is only a few weeks that we get to cherish our time with babies once earth side. I’ll take all of the snuggles!

Our Philosophy of Care
Homespun Midwifery, LLC is the practice of Sarah Ehrlich and Cassidy Dobek, licensed midwives in North Portland. Located in St. Johns, we provide nurturing, holistic, individualized midwifery services, including prenatal care, home birth, water birth and postpartum care to families in the Portland Metro area and SW Washington.
The birth of your baby is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life. Whether this is your first baby or your fifth, welcoming this little one is a rite of passage that can be both transformative and joyous. We recognize that every pregnancy journey is different. Together we will handcraft a pregnancy, birth and postpartum care plan that is a unique fit for you and your family. Our top priority is to make sure that we create a vision that brings your new baby into your arms in a space that is loving, welcoming, gentle, and safe.
We take great honor in being able to serve growing families through the incredible journey of the childbearing year. Our philosophy of care is rooted in the knowledge that pregnancy, birth and postpartum are normal life events. We form trusting relationships with our clients who are active participants in their care and who find empowerment through this experience. We are able to blend the ancient wisdom of the oldest profession – utilizing herbs, and other natural therapies as well as being hands-off as much as possible – with the new evidence and technology of modern medicine – which allows us to detect any deviations from normal and intervene as appropriate. We tailor an experience that supports the natural physiologic childbirth process – one driven by the innate human capacity of the mother and baby, while protecting their safety.
“Good beginnings make a positive difference in the world, so it is worth our while to provide the best possible care for mothers and babies throughout this extraordinarily influential part of life.”
-Ina May Gaskin, midwife, activist
