Meet the Midwives

I am Shanna Hinrichs, and my story of community birth began over 20 years ago when I started supporting families as a doula, lactation consultant, and now midwife. I have known I was called to help women bring their babies earthside since I was a young child. I didn't know what that would look like, but  I was fortunate to witness a dear friend's intimate and precious home birth. That experience revealed my path as a birth worker and ignited my desire to serve women and their families in their most powerful and vulnerable moments. 

​

I am fulfilled by serving my incredible clients as their families grow. Attending births builds my trust over and over in women's bodies' ability to transform and heal. I respect the responsibility of being a midwife and recognize what a privilege it is to facilitate an experience that best supports my client's wishes.

I was born and raised in Garland but have had the privilege to live in a few different states. I am married and have given birth to 9 children, each with their own different story. Having experienced 9 very different births and breastfeeding journeys, I have lots of hands-on personal experience to offer to you.

​

When not engrossed in the birth world, I enjoy spending time with my husband, homeschooling the 4 school-age kids still at home, and our dogs, as well as playing in the great outdoors, eating delicious food, and making our home in Rowlett as peaceful as a home with 5 kids (still living at home), 3 dogs, and 2 cats can be.
