AT THE NATURAL BIRTHING CENTER YOUR BIRTH IS SACRED. 

     The birth of a baby is a powerful, healing, and  life-changing experience.  At the Natural Birthing Center your care is personalized to meet your needs.  My goal is to support you, and your  partner to have a beautiful out of hospital birth experience. Birth can and should be a blissful experience; not some traumatic thing that leaves you wondering how your birth could have been improved.

     Birth is not always gentle.  It does not always go the way you like it to.  At the Natural Birthing Center we do our best to meet your birth experience with gentleness and safety while supporting your needs and wishes whatever they may be.  At The Natural Birthing Center we listen to you.  

     I believe a midwife is responsible for your safety, and that of the baby.  I believe one can have a beautiful birth while being safely attended to with respect and gentleness.  I believe a midwife partners with you, and protects your privacy and seeks to fulfill your needs. 

     To get to this place of optimal birthing we are sitting in prenatal appointments, addressing inner fears and barriers. We are taking the time to get to know one another, create comfort.  I am listening to your ideas for your birth. You may mention the reasons the last birth was not ideal, or was traumatic. We talk about diet, exercise,  birth and parenting preparation.  As time moves forward  toward the day you will meet your little one face to face  we talk about your birth in greater detail.  I respect your birth plan.  When that day arrives, during your birth, my focus is on you.  I believe in the golden rule.  I treat you the way I would like to be treated.  With respect. With the knowledge that this is your very own birth.  I am a  guest at your birth to ensure you and your baby's safety, and to guide the birth energy toward your optimum birth and healthy motherhood. 

      Ina May stated in her book Birth Matters " Fear plays a large role in childbirth in the U.S., and is fed by ignorance. Knowlege is empowring because it is an essential step toward stepping away from fear. Women who think their minds and bodies are separate from each other have little idea how much their thoughts and feelings affect the course of labor." page 27

     We want you and your family to have the best experience possible, whether it is at home or in our Salado birth center, or the Round Rock birth center.  

      It may take a few visits to truly get to know your midwife.  It is the experience and calmness of the midwife--one who listens to you, and works with you side by side in partnership throughout your pregnancy--that makes your birth special. There are midwives who will tell you what you want to hear, and there are midwives who will be honest and bless you in strong, supportive ways. Midwives are not all alike, and there's a midwife for every mother.
