Hey there! I’m Hailey! I have lived all over the greater Houston area and went to college in Mississippi, but call Tomball my hometown!

I am the oldest of 5 kids, and all of us have such different birth stories. I was born at 35 weeks via c-section for being breech and then after me my mom had two VBAC traditional hospital births, the 4th was a car baby, and then the 5th was an unmedicated hospital birth. I feel like I grew up knowing birth was wild and normal and not something to fear.

My path to midwifery...

I became a doula in 2021 after working all the jobs (bakery, florist, school admin, summer camp etc) and I fell in love with birth after the very first one I had the honor of witnessing. I became a birth assistant later that year and have had the opportunity to birth assist with several centers and many homebirth midwives. Now in my early 30s I decided it was an opportune time to go back to school for midwifery and am in my second year now and loving it!

I believe women were created with the innate ability to birth and I also believe in the power of education and preparation for one’s body, mind, and spirit. Coming alongside families is a holy opportunity to see some of the purest forms of faith, hope, and love.

Beach or Mountains? Mountains!! The Aspen trees in Colorado have my heart and there’s just something about mountain air that is so good for the soul.
