Kate The Midwife

I am a Certified Professional Midwife licensed in the state of Texas working in the greater Austin area. As a home birth midwife, I am deeply humbled by the trust families place in me and strive to provide the highest level of care.

My journey into midwifery began in 2017. I love my work. I am reminded everyday of the strength of the human spirit, the unlimited capacity we have to grow and the beauty of the rawness in our lives. My training includes both the home setting and high volume birth center in Texas and California.

Midwife michelle

My midwifery journey started as a doula more than 12 years ago. I went on to serve hundreds of families as a birth assistant, as a student midwife and then a staff midwife at the Austin Area Birth Center.

Midwifery is a calling, one that found me when I had my sweet babies. I believe in the profound impact of this work on families and the community and on myself.

I joined Central Texas Midwifery in early 2024 and I truly love it.

“I recommend home birth with Central Texas Midwifery to anyone that wants to keep their own power and experience a truly beautiful way of birthing.”
