The Birthing Place

My pregnancy was unplanned, so I found myself rushed to do my research. My OBGYN was vaginal birth friendly and so I felt confident that he would help make sure he did everything possible so that would delivery vaginally. In nursing school I was introduced to the idea of doulas, and knew I wanted to have the support of a doula. I went off the recommendation of a friend and found my doula and ended up meeting my midwife through her as well. I finally decided to ditch my OB at his 8th mention of c-section at our prenatal appointments. It was definitely God that placed Afua in my life and I could not be more grateful. Afua came into my life at a time that I lost my sister and mom. She was the mother figure I needed providing me with all the love, support, and tough love that mothers give. I love her approach to patient care because it is unmatched by the experience you get in mainstream healthcare. Afua treated me as family, she validated every one of my concerns no matter how silly they were. She guided me throughout my pregnancy, she provided a place for all expectant and new moms to come together and share their experiences and learn from each other and support one another. She has built her own village here in Houston. I am eternally grateful to her for the support she provided to me without fail and without hesitation. Not only did she provide me with exceptional personalized prenatal care, she safely delivered my baby in the comfort of my own home and she mended my soul. Thank you Afua! I love you!

The support and guidance provided by Afua and her team surpassed any expectation I could have had. If you are looking for a place where you can be completely open and vulnerable, this is where you want to be for your pregnancy care. The team will make you feel at home, empowered, and valued, even on your worst days. Giving birth is so much more than just pushing out a baby - Afua makes sure you as the mom are taken care of, so you can be the best mom you can be. I can't say enough good things about her, she is just the best.

Afua is an excellent midwife. My sister is a client and she has helped her through her pregnancy in ways that doctors are unable to. She has a great deal of knowledge, which shows through the care she provides and gives world class service. She is highly recommended with an excellent staff.
