  • 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.

  • Alyssa Rizzio, MSN, APNP, CP-NP, MMCHW

    The Direct Primary Care (DPC) model with Sprouted Bean Pediatrics allows me to build meaningful relationships with patients and their families by providing the time and space for truly personalized care. This approach leads to better health outcomes by focusing on prevention, intentional visits, and patient-centered collaboration. Most importantly, it restores the autonomy patients deserve so they can be active partners in the healthcare journey.

  • Rita Kerhin, MSW, APSW, MMCHW

    As the founder of Three Rivers Therapy and a clinician with a strong foundation in birth work, Rita chose to partner with Sprouted Bean Pediatrics & Wellness to offer care through a Direct Patient Care model that aligns deeply with her values—relational, trauma-informed, and family-centered. Free from the limitations of insurance-based systems, Rita provides individualized therapy for individuals, couples, and young children with their caregivers, supporting families through fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting. This model allows her to prioritize meaningful connection, flexibility, and long-term support—offering the time and presence that these transitions truly deserve. Her collaboration with Sprouted Bean reflects a shared commitment to holistic, accessible, and empowering care for the whole family.
