Our fundamental intention is to be & maintain a source of unconditional love and acceptance for those considering, going through, or post abortion.

Our purpose is to guide people to a felt sense of worthiness and wholeness when they find themselves in a difficult position, possibly with many aspects of identity and life in turmoil.

A.Healing Portal has a deep appreciation for the complexity that is activated around choices in reproductive care. This myriad of "highly-charged" issues cross in to so many aspects of life and differ for each person, including: identity, religion, family, romance, sex, parenthood, economics, death, health risks.

We believe that with integrative/trauma-informed support around abortion care, a door to deeper self awareness and self acceptance can be opened.

Hi! I’m Sarah. I’m passionate about holistic care in reproductive health.

What’s most important to me is how we feel about our lives and our experiences. I have practiced midwifery on and off from 1999 until the present. I believe that abortion care can be an opportunity to heal from trauma-syndromes either directly related to needing an abortion or not. Everything brought up through the circumstance encountered around abortion care can serve as a catalyst for healing and empowerment. My goal for care is to build a custom “ springboard” with each client to enable a life that is full of self love and acceptance.

I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) this modality offers many creative tools for interacting with the nervous system to discover physiological impulses and give them a chance to play out. In this way, the nervous system frees up trapped charge or energy and greater harmony and coherence can be experienced. This intricate physiology-based therapy functions by supporting greater connection with the felt sense of resource both in and outside one’s self.

I created A.Healing Portal to bring full circle many aspects of my professional and personal life. This is a space of grace for inner-turmoil, physiological & emotional stress around abortion care. Whether considering, facing, or processing abortion. This is a space for professional as well as peer support.

Hello, I’m Carrie. A pervasive theme and passion of my life is embodiment. In my desire for intimacy with all of life, I seek to discover and heal the complex constellation of phenomena that separate us from our bodies.

Over the past 17 years working with clients, the modalities I am trained in and share today include somatic movement, nervous system education and regulation, Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises® (TRE), SourcePoint Therapy®, Clinical Somatics, embodiment practices, energy work, and spiritual inquiry.

For the purposes of holistic abortion and womb care, I am expressly offering TRE® sessions, but am happy to weave together practices to meet you where you are, in a way that best addresses your unique needs and concerns.

I have partnered with Sarah on A.Healing Portal because for as long as I can remember, I’ve sensed my womb to be a space of mystery, disconnection and grief - which has only been amplified by an upbringing in Catholicism, traditional gynecological care, and the fetishization, derision, violence against, and invisibilizing of the feminine body (particularly its reproductive functions) within our culture.

Through our work here, I hope to be a conduit for connection, healing, and reclamation - of our relationship to our body, ancestors, and the greater body of Mother Earth.
