Katy, Texas 34 years of experience

Cathy Rude

I have been a midwife since 1993. I started my journey toward midwifery when I was told, at the ripe old age of 19, that I would likely never be able to bear my own children due to a severe case of endometriosis. I had numerous surgeries, medication regimes, and heartbreaking disappointments month after month, then year after year. During this time, I read everything I could get my hands on about birth, pregnancy, options in labor and delivery. Finally, I started learning about midwives! Prior to this, I had never known a midwife nor I had ever talked to anyone who had used a midwife. Yet, I was completely enamored with the ideas of “with woman”. This was before the time of the internet and my only sources of information were bookstores or the library. I bought the original issue of “Our Bodies, Ourselves” in 1973 and felt a call to something bigger and more life-changing than I could have ever imagined. The only method of becoming a midwife that I was aware of, was to first go to nursing school to get a BSN and then go to a midwifery school for a Masters in Midwifery. At that time there were no midwifery schools in Texas; the nearest one to us was in Mississippi! I had already started taking my prerequisites for a BS and by 1977 I was accepted into the clinical program for UT Nursing. By this time, my husband Gary and I had been actively, yet unsuccessfully, trying to conceive for six long years. The crushing disappointment was more than I could deal with any longer. I decided to give up that dream and focus on becoming a midwife to help other women have their sweet babies. Two months later, I discovered that I was pregnant! Over the next 17 years, God blessed us with five more beautiful babies; one for each long year of infertility. However, this also delayed my dream of becoming a midwife. So, when I had an opportunity to take a course offered by the Texas Dept of Health to become a documented midwife, I jumped at it. I began this program in 1993. Later the same year, I started a 3 yr apprenticeship with a midwife friend who had recently moved to Texas. I also took a course through the Association of Texas Midwives and later passed one of the first NARM exams offered to become a CPM (Certified Professional Midwife). I was the first midwife in Katy and had a thriving home birth practice for many years. In 2003, I accepted a new apprentice as well as a new birth assistant. This was the beginning of a great collaboration with Natalie and Connie. I’ve been blessed on a daily basis by both of them, and am so grateful for their wisdom, love and support since we came together in 2010, to open Katy Birth Center. This endeavor has truly been a labor of love. My husband Gary and I have been married since 1971 and have enjoyed the years raising our three girls and three boys. All of our children are now married, with the exception of the baby, Meredith who graduated from TX State in 2018 and works in nutrition and exercise wellness in Dallas. My children have blessed me with seven beautiful grandchildren, four of whom I was honored to midwife into the world. I look forward to as many more as God chooses to give! We are very involved in our church and feel blessed to be a part of several ministries there. I also feel a connection to my sister midwives and have been very involved in both local and statewide midwifery organizations over the years. I’ve served on the local level in our Houston area midwifery group as President, Vice-President and Secretary. I’ve also served on the statewide ATM organization as an Area Representative, Secretary and Vice President. Working with these committed midwives to further midwifery and protect our profession has been such an honor, albeit, a huge commitment of time and invested effort. I am excited to see the new generation of midwives come up and take their place alongside the more seasoned midwives. I love mothers and their babies, and I am so very grateful for the path God led me on all those years ago to be able to encourage, minister, educate and support women, and their innate ability to birth their babies safely in the ways they desire.

Anyia is amazing! While preparing for labor, she made multiple visits to my house and reached out continually to check in. She was quick to respond to text and phone calls and got to the hospital just after an hour after being admitted. From the moment labor began, she was such an incredible source of support, encouragement, and comfort. She was with me through approximately 14 hours of natural labor, helping me navigate contractions, offering encouragement, and reminding me that I was capable even during the hardest moments. When things didn’t go exactly as I had planned and I ultimately decided to get an epidural, she continued to support me without judgment and made sure I felt just as cared for. AND stayed with us for another 12 hours after getting the epidural. Although my birth experience didn’t look exactly how I had envisioned it, I have absolutely no regrets, and I feel so blessed that Anyia was part of our journey. Birth is unpredictable, and having someone by your side who is knowledgeable, compassionate, reassuring, and genuinely invested in your experience makes such a difference. I am so thankful for the role she played in bringing our sweet girl into the world. If you’re considering hiring a doula, I wholeheartedly recommend Anyia. You will be in such good hands!

Hiring Chelle was, without a doubt, the single best decision we made for our birth journey. From start to finish, she was endlessly patient, deeply attentive, and a true advocate for our growing family. Welcoming our baby boy into the world was an incredible milestone, but there were moments during labor when things moved fast and I wasn't fully aware of what was happening. She stood by my side, making sure my birth doctor fully respected my time, my voice, and my birth plan. I followed her expert advice and calming guidance every step of the way, which turned what could have been an overwhelming day into a remarkably smooth and genuinely enjoyable experience. Her care didn't stop in the delivery room, either. She captured the most precious, memorable photographs of our son's birth, moments we will treasure for a lifetime. And when we finally returned home from the hospital, walking into a house that she had quietly gone ahead and completely cleaned up and organized was the ultimate relief. She even stepped in to watch our newborn so my husband and I could catch our breath and truly rest. If you are looking for a doula who brings fierce advocacy, a comforting presence, and above-and-beyond postpartum care, look no further. We are endlessly grateful for everything she did for our family! *Honorable Mention* Her herbal teas are absolutely amazing! I have drank both her post and pre-birthing teas, and they definitely do exactly what they say they do! 10/10!

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Julie as our night doula! Julie is everything you could hope for in a doula—proactive, punctual, reliable, experienced, and genuinely loving toward our son. Her care and dedication began long before our baby arrived. She visited me twice before delivery, brought helpful preparation materials, and consistently checked in to see how I was doing. She stayed in close communication to make sure everything was coordinated and that support would be available when we needed it. Our son ended up arriving a week earlier than expected, but Julie went above and beyond to adjust her schedule and be there for us on our very first night home from the hospital. That support meant so much to us, especially as first-time parents navigating those overwhelming early days. Throughout our time together, Julie was incredibly attentive and thoughtful. She always provided detailed notes about our son’s nights, kept us updated on anything she noticed, and helped us think through possible reasons behind certain behaviors or symptoms. She also generously shared a wealth of helpful resources and practical information to guide us through various situations and challenges with our newborn. Her experience, patience, and genuine care gave us so much comfort and confidence. Most importantly, it was clear how much love and tenderness Julie brought to caring for our son. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands allowed our family to rest and recover with peace of mind. I truly cannot thank Julie enough for the warmth, kindness, and exceptional care she brought to our son and our entire family. She made such a meaningful difference during one of the most important transitions of our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend Julie to any family looking for a knowledgeable, dependable, and genuinely caring doula. Any family would be lucky to have her!
