Alexis S. in Mabank, TX

I have been called to do Birth Work since my traumatic birth experience with my daughter. Nothing I wanted happened and everything was the opposite of my birth plan. I was bullied, coerced and threatened into choices I did not want to make. From then on I knew I needed to be a part of the Birth World somehow to help Mothers advocate for themselves and get the care and respect they deserve. I found a wonderful birth center and midwife for my second pregnancy. I healed so much of my trauma with my sons birth. It was was so empowering and redeeming. Seeing the difference in care from my first pregnancy to the care and support I received with My midwife was mind blowing. It solidified my path. I had to be a part of the change. After my son was born I began looking into Doula certifying agencies. So many of them are limiting in the ways I want to serve women and their families, so I kept looking. Eventually I came across HERBAL. Their views aligned with everything I believe! They believe in supporting the woman to my fullest capacity without limiting me. I am now a Certified HERBAL Birthkeeper and Certified Peer Lactation Consultant as well as a Placenta Prep Specialist. My dreams have come true and I am here to serve birthing families to my fullest extent.
