We are trained to manage common complications that arise during birth and we carry much of the same emergency medications and equipment available at the hospital. If you need higher level care or intervention, we facilitate transport to a variety of providers in the DFW area. We carefully monitor both mom and baby and strive to transfer before a true emergency evolves. Our training includes CPR, NPR, Birth Emergency Skills Training®, along with a number of continuing education courses in midwifery specific topics.

We are an out-of-network provider for insurance.   
However, many health shares cover home birth costs.  We can provide you with a global maternity receipt that you may submit to your health share.  
 

Yes. We offer several payment options.
We request an initial deposit and we work with you to pay the balance over the duration of your care.

We don’t determine who comes to your birth.  This is your experience.   We do recommend that you fill your birth space with people who are 100 percent supportive of your choices. Labor is interrupted or promoted by those present, and negative emotions can increase the possibility of transfer in labor.

Some families choose to include children at the birth. If this is you, we recommend three things. 
1. Consider how your children’s presence might interrupt or aid your labor flow.   
2. It's important to prepare your children for the experience.   
3. Have an adult present who is responsible to attend to your children during your labor.

 

We are passionate about helping you have natural physiologic birth and helping you feel empowered through childbirth.  We employ education, informed consent, homeopathy, botanical medicine, and body balancing, to help you achieve your birth goals.  We encourage you to move, stay nourished,
and stay hydrated throughout your labor and birth. 

Birth is about much more than the
wriggling of a tiny body out of a larger one. 
When we birth, we don’t just birth babies...
 We birth ourselves, we birth our families,
and we reshape our lives.
