Hi! My name is M Hardwick (they/them) in the DFW metroplex. I am currently a birth and gender doula and placenta encapsulator. I hope to expand my services soon that way I can better support families and clients through any part of their reproductive journey. I love to travel with my partner and our dog and spend a good amount of time playing board games, watching movies, and trying to explore or find adventures with my family. I am passionate about justice and advocacy, empowering others to find their own voice, and educating those around me. I believe that being informed is essential to everything we do and want everyone to have the information that they need. I am excited about birth and learning more about you and how I might be able to support you - however that looks like. I can't wait to meet you and see how we can work together.

Latched provides breastfeeding friendly physical therapy for babies and mamas. Many of us never put much thought into how we would feed our babies. However, for many babies and mamas (like my little one and me), breastfeeding can come with lots of new challenges. Some of these challenges may arise from: - Infant being overwhelmed with new environment (state regulation) - Movement restrictions during pregnancy - Difficult birth - Tethered oral tissues (such as lip and tongue ties) - Decreased range of motion (such as torticollis) - Strength imbalances - Postural changes - Increased tension or stiffness - Reflexive responses The good news, therapy can help address these concerns!

I have been an internationally board certified lactation consultant since 2020. I strive to help families succeed to reach their breastfeeding goals. I take a holistic approach and seek alternative therapies to helping parents and babies thrive in the newly postpartum period.

Hello all, my name is Cristina Schoggin and I am a licensed Occupational Therapy Assistant and co-owner of PivOTal Occupational Therapy, located in north Dallas. I received my Bachelor's in Science from Stephen F. Austin State University then went on to pursue licensure as an OTA from Weatherford College. I have extensive knowledge of pediatric care however, after having my own daughter at the beginning of the pandemic, I felt that women were in need of better care pre and post pregnancy. It is my passion to provide the best care to all women from preconception to menopause. I look forward to working with you and will do my best to provide an exceptional standard of care along with the most up to date and current research in pelvic health.

I am a widowed mother of four children between the ages of 19 and 22 who were born within three years. My first birth was at age 35 with a female physician in rural Maine, who was previously a midwife. I also had a female prenatal and postpartum doula who helped me find my confidence as a new mother. My second birth was a mandatory cesarean for breech & transverse presentation of fraternal male twins at age 38. Although the male physician would not grant requested delayed cord clamping, I was permitted to take the placentas home to plant a tree in honor of the birth. My fourth child was born in my 40th year as a rapid fire VBAC at a freestanding birth center with a midwife and doula in attendance. I have served as a pre-partum and postpartum doula, and am an experienced night nanny with a high success rate with sleep training. I do not adhere to any particular philosophy, serving only to support parents and caregivers with strengthening their own parental instincts. It is my practice to mirror the customs of the household, however shabbily chic, or with the spices alphabetized in the cabinet:) Experienced with serving post partum after traumatic births.

I am Shanna Hinrichs, and my story of community birth began over 20 years ago when I began supporting families as a doula, lactation consultant, and now midwife. I have known I was called to help women bring their babies earthside since I was a young child. I didn't know what that would look like, but I was fortunate to witness the intimate and precious home birth of a dear friend. That experience revealed my path as a birth worker and ignited my desire to serve women and their families in their most powerful and vulnerable moments. I am fulfilled by serving my incredible clients as their families grow. Attending births builds my trust over and over in women's bodies and their ability to transform and heal. I respect the responsibility of being a midwife and recognize the privilege of facilitating an experience that best supports my client's wishes. I believe that educated, informed choice is the best way for families to become empowered and make the best decisions for their pregnancy. That belief has afforded me the privilege to serve on the board of different cesarean awareness groups to help provide evidence-based information so families can make the appropriate choice for themselves and their current pregnancy. I am also a strong advocate for Vaginal Birth after Cesarean (VBAC) when it is the most appropriate choice. I was born and raised in Garland but have had the privilege to live in a few different states. I am married and have given birth to 9 children, each with their own distinct story. Having experienced 9 very different births and breastfeeding journeys, I have lots of hands-on personal experience to offer to you.​ When not engrossed in the birth world, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our 4 school-age kids still at home, and our dog and cats, as well as playing in the great outdoors, eating delicious food, and making our home in Rowlett as peaceful as a home with 4 kids (still living at home), a dog, and 2 cats can be. I would love the opportunity to chat with you to see if I would be the best midwife for you and your family. If we decide that I am not the best fit, I am more than happy to help you find the care provider you deserve as you travel this beautiful journey. ​​

Bethany is a Certified Professional Midwife and a licensed midwife in Texas. Her goal is to bring personal, safe, holistic care to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Many women go through the birthing process without a full understanding of what their care providers are recommending for their bodies and their babies. Because of this, she values ensuring families understand the benefits and risks of their options through: -informed consent -educating the families she serves -shared decision making between herself and the mother Bethany is passionate about helping families have natural, physiological pregnancies and births where women feel empowered and loved. Through her extensive continuing education, she incorporates homeopathy, botanical medicine, dynamic body balancing, and craniosacral therapy into her practice to help her clients remain healthy and on track for their best birth.

My philosophy as a midwife is rooted in both extensive personal experience and dedicated education. As a mother of five boys, including two natural births, one of which was born at home, I've lived through the very experiences I now guide others through. This invaluable perspective, combined with my Associate's in Midwifery from the MEAC Accredited Southwest Wisconsin Technical College and a Bachelor's from Texas Tech, has equipped me to serve as a midwife since 2022. I believe in fostering a supportive environment where birthing individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed choices throughout their pregnancy and birth journey.

I aspire to create a safe, welcoming, and accepting space for my clients. My passion in counseling lies in working with clients on their path to, through, and after pregnancy. I believe in the process of counseling and that it takes courage and strength to face your challenges. My theoretical orientation for therapy is person-centered, therefore I believe in the capacity for growth and healing within individuals. Sometimes, extra support may be needed to facilitate that growth and healing. My approach to counseling is grounded in the belief that people strive to discover and be their true selves, which can be achieved through a therapeutic relationship based on non-judgement, empathy, and genuineness. My role as a counselor is to provide guidance, support, boundaries, and resources in order to help clients work towards their desired goals for counseling.
