Today is National Mom and Pop Business Owner Day!

Let's take a moment(or a few) to reflect on how MUCH blood, sweat, and tears these two have dedicated to this birth center, and each family they care for. They work tirelessly everyday whether it be in clinic, at a home birth, on a plane, or on a train, they get it done! They both apply tailored care for each and everyone of our mommas and into the community. Not only that, they also pour the same amount of love and energy into their students, making sure they grow into the best midwives that they can be someday.

So let’s give them their flowers 💐.

Thank you Kris and Tal for all your hard work and care for us, the community AND STILL, managing to make time for your twelve children!! 🤍

“Midwives have shown up alongside women for as long as history has been spoken.
And today, we are the front lines for women fighting for their birth rights.
Yet, in this noble profession, we are constantly under scrutiny and pressure from licensing systems designed to eradicate our practices through modernization. We learn to prepare for the possibility of criminal charges and to protect our clients from undue investigations by Child Protective Services. It’s a reality that weighs heavily on us, and it’s time for change.
Midwifery is not a crime. Families deserve the right to choose the manner in which they bring new life into this world, free from unwarranted interference. However, the current system often treats our essential work with suspicion, and some midwives even find themselves behind bars for simply doing their job. This is not only unjust but also detrimental to the diverse choices that families should have access to across the United States.
Traditional midwives play a vital role in our communities by providing personalized care and support during one of the most significant moments in a family’s life. They offer mothers a chance to birth in a manner that feels right to them, with a trusted caregiver who respects their wishes and beliefs. Such autonomy in birth choices should be celebrated, not criminalized.
We urge the federal government to implement comprehensive safeguards that protect traditional midwifery practices and uphold the rights of families to make informed decisions about their childbirth experience. This includes recognizing and supporting the apprenticeship training model, as well as initiating reforms that prevent the unjust criminalization and persecution of traditional midwives.
By signing this petition, you stand with us in supporting women's rights, advocating for choice, and preserving the artistry and tradition of midwifery. Together, let's create a future where traditional midwives can practice without fear and families can choose what is best for their birth experience. Sign this petition to demand federal safeguards and ensure that midwifery remains a respected and viable option for all.
Join us in making this crucial change. Your support is essential for protecting midwives and the birth rights of families across the nation. Please sign and share this petition to amplify our voices and push for the changes needed to uphold choice and autonomy in childbirth.”

Understand the difference. Also, know that it is REALLY HARD to practice the midwifery model of care in the hospital.

Our Story

Our “story” is a long one. We would love to share more with you if you want to hear the “longer version.” This is actually the “abbreviated version.”

The Birth Center story begins with our founder and the current owner, Beth Overton. Beth began her midwifery journey in 1995 (25 years ago). Beth spent 3 years in schooling and apprenticeship with some of the finest midwives in the state and even traveled out of state to get additional training in Florida. But Beth accredits her most valuable education to Helen Jolly Nelson and her staff midwives at Family Birth Services in the DFW metroplex. Helen is retired now but still active serving on our state’s midwifery board. She and Beth have remained good friends and kept in touch all these years. At one time, Helen was given the nickname the “grandmother” of midwifery in Texas because she has done so much for Texas midwives. This was Beth’s mentor.

There were no birth centers in Corpus Christi at the time Beth began to study, and only one other midwife in the area, who never had any formal training herself. So Beth decided to travel to get a more formal education, not only because the state required it but because that was what she wanted. After completing her education, Beth was licensed and began a home birth practice, which steadily grew over the next 14 years.

During her home birth years, Beth became heavily involved in her midwifery organization and served as President of that organization. She also served on several committees for the State Midwifery Board during an extremely important legislative time for midwives between 2002-2003. It was during this critical time in history for midwives in Texas and under Beth’s leadership, that Texas midwives were able to finally become “licensed” in Texas. Prior to that, midwives were not considered licensed, they were called “documented midwives,” which simply meant they had registered with the state.
