Owner and Midwife at Origins Birth and Wellness Dallas.  My experience with midwifery started when I was very young. I do not remember my own home birth but I remember my brothers, as well as so many since. My mother taught child birth education classes for a midwife in Austin in the early 70’s and was a La Leche League Leader for most of my childhood. For as long as I can remember, birth has been a natural part of life. I’m a mother of four boys, all whom were born naturally- two at home, and two at Baylor. After all of my personal experiences, I firmly believe that all women should have the birth they desire!

I’ve had the pleasure to support women since 1990 in many roles including as a doula, a birth assistant, lactation counselor, and now as a midwife. I began my midwifery training in 1990 but had to delay my education due to the death of my husband. My passion for birth never wavered and I was able to complete my training years later. In the interim I grew many successful businesses and am now able to bring together my business knowledge and midwifery experience. My passion is to help each woman feel empowered through their birth experience.
