History
In 2000, Genevieve received the calling to become a midwife. Her family was young and she was committed to homeschooling her children so she postponed her training. When her children were older she embarked on an apprenticeship with an established homebirth midwife in Austin and pursued formal education in midwifery with the Association of Texas Midwives (ATM). This academic program enriched her understanding of her clinical training and provided many opportunities to learn. Her varied experiences influence her philosophy of practice. She completed her clinical training in April of 2012 and graduated from the ATM program. Genevieve began working with Illysa Foster at Sisters Midwifery in the spring of 2013 and loved the practice so much she purchased it in the spring of 2014. She now enjoys the opportunity to be a founding member of the Austin Midwife Collective with 5 of her fellow midwives.
Specialties
Sisters Midwifery is a homebirth midwifery practice in Central Texas, offering the highest quality maternity care through personalized and holistic services from midwives who care deeply about mothers, families, and babies. Becoming a parent is perhaps the most transformative step that an individual may take in his or her lifetime. It is an honor to work with families as they grow through the profound experiences of pregnancy, birth and newborn care. The midwife's role through pregnancy is to assess, inform and support her client in the process of becoming a parent to a new child. We achieve this through partnership with our clients. The level of care provided in your global package is unparalleled by any other medical model (like a hospital or birthing center). Midwifery care covers prenatal visits, attendance at your birth, postpartum visits, newborn exams and breastfeeding support. On top of all that, a postpartum doula can be sent to your house to help out after the birth if you need it. All of this and so much more are included in the services Sisters Midwifery will provide to make your birth a safe and beautiful experience.
