EmPOWERment Birthing

EmPOWERment Birthing empowers the mother to create the safest, gentlest, most loving birth experience for mother, baby & family.

EmPOWERment Birthing is based on the principle that gentle birth begins at conception and continues through the weaning years.

EmPOWERment Birthing  holds the mother-child bond sacred, asserting that the Mamma/Baby continuum is foundational to overall wellness and character development on every level: mentally, physically and spiritually.

Dear Friends,

Welcome to my website!

   After over 16 years of working as a Doula assisting families, specializing in helping teen mothers, VBAC's and others with special circumstances: I decided to take the next step and become a Licensed Midwife.

   This has been one of the most meaningful events of my life. My love for birthing grew out of my own personal experience in giving birth. My first baby was a hospital born baby. The second was born in a Birth Center with the assistance of a midwife. The remainder of my children were born at home with the assistance of a midwife, into the loving presence of our family. Intermittently throughout the years I have been given the privilege of helping women and their partners as they give birth.  I have always felt that , given the education and the opportunity, a woman would gladly give birth with the support of her family around her.  As a doula and a midwife, I have seen the awesome power of a woman as she decides to do just that.

   I have a deep love for birthing and a great respect for the birthing mother. And I love babies! I have 6 children of my own! My husband Joe and I have been married for 27 years, our children are Erica, 24, Mara 22, Michael 20, Teresa 16, Elena 12, and Gabriel 9. We have been living in the state of Texas for 9 years now and we love it! I look forward to hearing from you with any questions you may have. It doesn't matter if you are a client or not: I am always thrilled to empower and educate families to bring their babies into the world in the safest, gentlest, sweetest manner possible.

All The Best!
