Roxanne's Experience
Roxanne has been a midwife since 1988. She has been involved in some aspect of birth work for 36 years, practiced full time in Texas since 2011, and has now attended over 800 births. She also had three midwife attended home births of her own. She has practiced midwifery in many settings: in a rural home birth practice, at a small traditional birth center, at a large urban birth center, and overseas in Senegal, Nepal, and the Philippines. Roxanne has learned and grown in experience from every place she worked, while discovering the tennants of midwifery she is the most passionate about.
Principles of Practice
In Roxanne's words...
"I am passionate about individualized care- each person getting a care plan specific to them with what best for them, not as part of a system designed for high numbers of patients.
I believe everyone deserves to be heard and treated respectfully as an essential foundation for their care.
I believe everyone deserves full informed consent and choice on every aspect of their care.
I believe everyone deserves racism free medical care, particularly at a time when Black maternal and infant mortality rates are 3-4 times higher than their white counterparts.
I believe in culturally competent care- that ideally each person should have medical care provided by someone from the same culture speaking the same language as they do.
I believe in trauma informed care- approaching each person gently, with the understanding they may have physical, emotional or racial trauma in their history.
Above all, I believe in midwifery care that is driven by passion and not by profit. "
