Hello! My name is Crystal Strawn. I am a Certified Nurse Midwife in Arlington, Texas. I attend birth center births at Birth and Wellness Center of Arlington and home births throughout the DFW area. I have been a midwife since late 2021 with a 10 year history as a labor and delivery nurse prior to becoming a midwife. I am an advocate for natural, physiologic birth. I want each of my clients to feel heard, empowered, and supported throughout their pregnancy and birth. It is an absolute honor to walk alongside my clients throughout their birthing journeys. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be apart of their birth team to support and empower them in bringing new life into the world! In addition to care during pregnancy, I offer well woman care including pap smears, contraceptive counseling, and preconception care.
