the birth of my first child at home with a midwife in 1989 followed by two more natural unmedicated at home births, in 1990 and 1993. Feeling empowered by my own birthing experience, and wanting to make a difference for other women, I decided to pursue an education in women’s health and mother-baby care through the Texas Department of health’s Documented Midwife program and held that documentation with the state for 5 years. During that time I supported many women in the natural childbirth process. I am forever in awe at the amazing strength and ability that birthing women possess, and I am honored and blessed to be teaching Birth Boot Camp Classes in Euless, Texas and the surrounding DFW area.
