Educating & Empowering Women To Make Confident Birth Choices

Our Birth Philosophy

We believe birth is a beautiful, natural process and that women have freedom and choices. Our role as healthcare providers are to educate and encourage women along their journey towards a radiant beginning.

​From the actual physical miracle of new life developing within to the more subtle but equally as miraculous birth of a new mother (whether this is her first child or her fifth!), our goal is to equip you for the upcoming adventure.


Meet Melissa Bates, CPM

​In February 2009 I gave birth at home to our fourth child; I was not induced and I was able to accomplish my goal with the use of water (LOVE!) and the support of my husband and midwife. It was an incredible experience and was so much more intimate than the medical, sterile and disconnected way I had experienced birth previously. That summer I enrolled in the Association of Texas Midwives Midwifery Training Program and the next year began an apprenticeship. To date I have attended over 500 births and consider it a true joy, honor and privilege to be invited to attend each woman in labor. 
"5 out of 5 stars! Melissa is one of the best midwives i have had the pleasure of knowing. She makes the entire processes very easy and is extremely supportive and knowledgeable."-Samantha Aislynn Jarosek

Montrice
A montrice offers clinical oversight & support as a midwife during your pregnancy. However, once we go to the hospital the Montrice role  mirrors that of the doula. This is a wonderful option for women that would like to be monitored and labor at home, but deliver in the hospital setting.
Home Birth​
Giving birth at home allows for the utmost opportunities for birth personalization, privacy, and intimacy during this sacred time. Providing home birth services in and around Katy, Texas is our passion. 
Prenatal & Postpartum Care
With prenatal visits that last nearly an hour, there is plenty of time to develop a relationship of trust, and be sure that our families’ questions are answered. Prenatal appointments involve discussion about the emotional & physical experience as well as a physical assessment of mother and baby, there is no substitute for a strong relationship between client and care provider.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"Amazing midwife! I liked her the best of all the midwives I have had from 2 different clinics with multiple midwives. I drove an extra half hour to receive her care for my 4th. She is holistically and medically smart, compassionate, non-judgemental. Excellent bedside manner. Would highly recommend"
