About the Midwife

Cradle Midwifery is owned by midwife Sarah McBride, CPM LM. After a relatively easy first birth, Sarah wondered why her friends and family had such difficult births. She then fell in love with doula work and began serving doula clients in 2011. After growing her family, Sarah felt the call to midwifery.

Sarah began her midwifery education in August 2015 at Mercy In Action College of Midwifery. Her midwifery education combined academic and clinical studies. She completed her clinical preceptorship at New Beginnings Birth Center, Family Tree Midwifery, and Two Stones Midwifery. After completing her preceptorship and academic studies, she graduated from Mercy in Action College of Midwifery in 2021.

After graduation, she passed the NARM (North American Registry of Midwives) board exam, earning her credential as a Certified Professional Midwife.

After credentialing as a CPM, she qualified as a Licensed Midwife with the State of Idaho. Sarah completed a fellowship at a homebirth midwifery practice from November 2021 to February 2022, after which she was a Staff Midwife until October of 2024.

Sarah also serves on the MEAC (Midwifery Education Accreditation Council) board as Vice President and on the IMC (Idaho Midwifery Council) board as Treasurer.
