Hey, I’m Sara.
As a writer and perinatal chaplain, I help women see themselves in Scripture and make meaning from the hardest corners of our lives.
About me
I’m a writer and chaplain with a special interest in women’s spiritual care. I currently work as a perinatal chaplain at Wild Honey Perinatal and intern at Haddonfield United Methodist Church, where I focus on women’s ministry and maternal ministry. Through my blog, devotionals, and upcoming book on the theology of pregnancy loss (Eerdmans, 2027), I share the work of finding hope and reawakening wonder after grief.
Bible studies
In my work at churches, I lead Bible studies that look at women in scripture through biblical scholarship and feminist theology.Each week, we model an exegetical skill or lens that members can take into their own Bible study. Examples include reading the healing narratives through the lens of disability theology, thinking about biblical narrative, or reading Jesus Jewishly.These studies were developed for Haddonfield UMC, but I also lead them at other congregations via Zoom. You can take a look at a sample, or inquire about me leading a study at your church.
Chaplaincy
I work as a perinatal chaplain, childbirth educator, and birth and bereavement doula at Wild Honey Perinatal, where I support people during fertility journeys, pregnancy, postpartum, and loss.
Book
My first non-fiction book, a theological memoir of pregnancy loss, is being published by Eerdmans in 2027.
Drawing on a tradition of feminist biblical scholarship, this book treats the miscarrying body not as a footnote to faith, but as a site of revelation—one where unique insights into God’s abiding presence are revealed. By sharing my own story of finding hope in recurrent loss, I invite women to meet God in the wound, name what they have lost, and uncover what their embodied grief can teach them about the divine.
