Birth Assistant for Midwives

A Licensed Midwife at Your Side

Need a second set of skilled hands? I’m a Texas Licensed Midwife and Certified Professional Midwife (NARM), and I love serving as a birth assistant for other midwives at out-of-hospital births. I take only a few families of my own each month, so I have room on my calendar for yours.

Birth Assistant

Hands-on support at home and birth center births within 50 miles of 76133.

72-Hour Visits

I cover 72-hour home visits for any of your families, Deaf or hearing, and send full charting back to you.

Deaf Clients

Have a Deaf client, or a client with Deaf family? I communicate directly in ASL.

What I Bring

Organized Charting

Accurate, thorough charting every time.

Setup & Cleanup

Birth space setup and cleanup, so you can focus on care.

Hands-On Help

Skilled assistance through labor and birth.

Newborn Support

Newborn assessment and immediate care.

NRP & CPR

Certified in NRP and CPR.

Full Birth Bag

My own fully stocked birth bag at every birth.

Calm, Visual Presence

I'm Deaf, so I read the room without adding noise to it.

Trusted Backup

If I can't make a booked birth, I send a trusted backup.

72-Hour Visits Are My Favorite

If your calendar is full, I can complete 72-hour home visits for your families, with full charting sent back to you. You supply the newborn screening kit (except for Medicaid clients).
