In 2004 I began official midwifery studies, and as my knowledge and experience expanded, so did my appreciation for a family’s choice to birth their baby at home. During the summer of 2006 I traveled to Cameroon, Africa where I spent three weeks at a third world hospital delivering babies in inadequate conditions. That opportunity gave me valuable experience as I completed my studies.
After passing the national exam of the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) in February 2008, I became a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) and licensed in Texas to practice midwifery. Currently I have helped deliver 100+ babies. I love doing home births, but also have privileges at licensed birth centers in Gladewater and Tyler, Texas and enjoy working with other midwives in the area. My home/office is located in Longview, but I am also willing to do home visits.
I would be happy to consult, free of charge, with anyone interested in using my services as a midwife. Once we agree to move forward with care I provide complete prenatal care, labor and birth support and midwifery care, and postpartum care for mother and baby.
I believe that birth is not a disease, that it is a normal, healthy process and therefore does not usually need much interference and technology. Home birth has been the safest place for mothers and babies for centuries. In fact, it is practiced as a norm in many countries which have fewer deaths of mothers and newborns than the United States. My role as a midwife is to share with the family in this adventure, to help the couple along in the responsibility, and to encourage and support the woman with information and experience in order to help her have a safe and blessed birth.
A packet of information, including a fee schedule and more detailed list of services, is available upon request.
