Sunni is a midwife, author, teacher, and birth consciousness pioneer whose work centers on the sacred and spiritual dimensions of pregnancy, birth, and early life.
Conceived in Copenhagen, born in Paris, and raised in the U.S., her own difficult birth inspired a lifelong commitment to understanding birth trauma, human consciousness, and how babies experience their entrance into the world.
She began her career in education, founding a Waldorf school and teaching kindergarten before becoming a Past Life and Birth Therapist. In 1992 she trained as a home-birth midwife and went on to develop Sacred Birthing
, a paradigm emphasizing respectful, conscious, and gentle births that support the baby’s fullest expression of being.
Sunni holds a Doctorate in Divinity with a dissertation on lovemaking and conception, and she founded the Sacred Birthing Foundation to support mothers, babies, and birthkeepers through education, workshops, community and doula training, and her writing.
