I've been employed by Waco Center for Women's Health since the spring of 2007. Babies are delivered, by their mothers, into my loving hands at Providence Hospital in Waco. All 7 of my back-up Physicians are great, they come quickly when we need them and are highly respectful of the midwifery philosophy.

I love this work. I've been helping babies and their families for 25 years now. Sure, there are times when I'm up all night when I wonder why I do this, but then I attend a beautiful, healthy, natural birth and I get that thrill all over again. Or, I attend a woman with a difficult history, a risk factor, or an unhealthy habit and through patience, trust in birth, kindness and good teamwork I enable her to experience a beautiful and empowering thing.
I love it.
