🌱 Our Growing Sprout Team

  • Sabrina Foulks-Thomas, RN, CPM, LM, IBCLC, MMCHW, MHA, CPES |Founder and Owner

    Direct patient care is deeply important to Sabrina because it allows her to build genuine, trusting relationships with families—free from the limitations and bureaucracy of insurance-driven systems. As a midwife, registered nurse, mother of six, and woman of color, she brings a rare and layered understanding of what families truly need during the most formative seasons of life. Her care is shaped not just by clinical training, but by lived experience—raising children while walking alongside countless families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

    While there are other direct patient care practices in Wisconsin, Sprouted Bean stands apart. What makes it unique isn’t just the model—it’s the depth and integration of services within it. From lactation consulting, mental health, and pediatric chiropractic care to speech, occupational therapy, and developmental support, Sprouted Bean is building something expansive yet intimate—a place where families don’t have to piece together care from different corners of the system. It’s all here, under one roof, and it’s all relationship-driven.

    This isn’t just a healthcare model—it’s a movement toward equity, dignity, and whole-family wellness. Sabrina’s work at Sprouted Bean isn’t about fitting into what’s already been done—it’s about creating what’s long been missing: care that is connected, culturally grounded, and unapologetically rooted in community.
