I have been married for 32 years. In that time, I have been blessed with 6 daughters and 2 sons. With each child, I experienced very different pregnancies and births. My children have been born in a hospital and at home, with an epidural and through unmedicated births, in the water, and through the process of adoption.
Midwifery, in a professional role, has been a large part of my life for more than 16 years. I have learned the definition of “midwife” is derived from two words: mid (meaning with) and wife (meaning woman). As a Certified Professional Midwife, I desire to reflect that meaning and to be with you during this exciting and wonderful time of pregnancy and birth.
I will walk you through the process and empower you to be confident in trusting your body to do what it was created to do. Whether this is your first baby or your tenth, each pregnancy is an individually unique experience. I believe every woman deserves the opportunity to give birth in the environment she chooses, surrounded by loving and capable attendants.

Hi, I’m Elizabeth! I am a Doula and midwife assistant. I am mom to 5 wonderful children, 4 of whom are living – Zion, Cayden, Flynn, and Elayna. I am wife to Dylan, my husband of 16 years. And a Host mama to exchange students. I have been a certified Birth and Bereavement Doula since March of 2019. We moved from Washington state here to Corpus almost 4 years ago. Not long after our move here, I met Melinda and became one of her assistants. I am passionate about birth because every birth matters, and every situation deserves love, support, compassion, and understanding. I am honored and proud to be a part of this team.
