🌸 What Makes Midwives So Special? 🌸

At Attuned Midwifery Services, we believe midwives offer something truly unique in the world of birth care. Here’s why midwives are so special and why many families choose them for their birth journeys:

✨ 1. Personalized, Compassionate Care
Midwives are known for taking the time to truly get to know you, your pregnancy, and your birth preferences. Unlike the often rushed appointments in a hospital setting, we build relationships with our clients, offering care that’s tailored to your individual needs.

✨ 2. Continuity of Care
When you choose a midwife, you’re not just a patient—you’re a partner. From your first appointment to postpartum care, midwives provide consistent, hands-on support and are with you throughout your pregnancy, birth, and beyond. We are there for you every step of the way.

✨ 3. Holistic Approach
Midwives provide whole-person care, focusing on your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. We offer natural, non-invasive care options and give you the knowledge and support to make informed decisions that feel right for you and your baby.

✨ 4. Empowering Birth Experiences
Midwives are passionate about empowering women and families to trust their bodies and make decisions that align with their values. Whether you want a natural birth, water birth, or a hospital birth with support, we help you create the birth experience you want—not what someone else thinks you should have.

✨ 5. Safe, Comfortable Birth Environment
Midwives offer care in a setting that feels comfortable and familiar—whether it’s a home birth or a birth center. We create a safe and calming environment where you can focus on the birth process without unnecessary stress or interruptions.

At Attuned Midwifery Services, we believe in providing gentle, respectful, and personalized care that honors your unique journey into parenthood.

🧣 Tuesday Tip #9: Rebozo Techniques in Labor

The rebozo is a traditional Mexican shawl used to gently move and support the pregnant body — and it’s one of our favorite tools during labor.

✨ Midwife Uses Include:
• Sifting the belly to ease tension
• Helping baby settle into an optimal position
• Supporting hips and low back during contractions
• Providing gentle counter-pressure

This practice honors centuries of indigenous birthing wisdom — and can be incredibly soothing.

Ask us to demo it during your prenatal visit — partners love learning how to help too!

🥗 The "Kitchen Check" — Safe Food Practices 🥗

Eating for two? Let’s make sure those cravings stay safe! 🤰✨

During Prenatal Infection Prevention Month, it’s the perfect time for a quick kitchen audit. To avoid risks like Listeria and Toxoplasmosis, keep these "Texas-sized" tips in mind:

🍈 Wash the Rind: Even if you aren't eating the skin (like on a juicy Texas cantaloupe), wash it before cutting so the knife doesn't carry bacteria to the fruit!

🔥 The "Steaming" Rule: If you’re craving deli meats, make sure to heat them until they are steaming hot.

🧀 Check the Cheese: Ensure your queso fresco or soft cheeses are made with pasteurized milk.

🧤 Garden with Gloves: If you’re out planting bluebonnets this spring, wear gloves to avoid contact with soil where cats may have been.

🥩 Clean the Counter: Wash your hands and all surfaces thoroughly after handling raw meat to prevent Toxoplasmosis.

What’s been your #1 pregnancy craving so far? Tell us below! 🍦👇

🌿 Why Midwives Are the Experts in Normal Birth
with Annie K***z, CPM | Attuned Midwifery Services

Pregnancy and birth are natural processes—and in many cases, they don’t need to be managed by doctors unless complications arise. This is where midwives come in as experts in normal birth. So, why exactly is this the case?

💛 Midwives Are Trained to Support Low-Risk, Physiological Birth
Midwives are trained experts in supporting normal, low-risk pregnancies and physiological births. Our care focuses on helping families navigate a healthy pregnancy, providing continuous support throughout labor, and facilitating a smooth, natural birth experience. We are skilled in recognizing and respecting the body’s innate ability to birth, without unnecessary intervention.

💛 The Doctor’s Role in High-Risk Births
Doctors are often called in when complications arise or when a pregnancy is deemed high-risk. Their expertise lies in managing medical complications, using advanced interventions, and providing care in hospital settings for situations that require surgical or emergency care. Obstetricians have the knowledge and tools to handle conditions like gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, multiple pregnancies, or other medical conditions that require intervention to protect the health of the mother or baby.

💛 The Difference in Approach
While midwives focus on promoting and supporting the normal, natural process of birth, doctors typically focus on intervention—whether that’s through medications, interventions, or surgeries when complications arise. In many cases, midwives and doctors work as part of a team, with midwives taking the lead in low-risk scenarios, and doctors stepping in for high-risk situations.

✨ At Attuned Midwifery Services, we specialize in low-risk pregnancies, creating a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment for every family. Whether you’re planning a home birth, water birth, or want to explore your options, we’re here to help you have the birth experience you desire—naturally and with care.

💬 Tuesday Tip #8: Affirmations for Birth

What you speak to yourself matters. Using positive affirmations can rewire fear into confidence — a powerful tool in labor!

🗣️ Try these:
• “My body knows how to give birth.”
• “Each wave brings me closer to my baby.”
• “I trust the process.”

✨ Midwife Tip:
Write them on sticky notes. Record them in your voice. Hang them in your birth space. This practice isn’t fluff — it’s neuroscience-meets-midwifery.

🤱 Postpartum Care Matters—Because Birth Is Just the Beginning 💛

Too often, postpartum is treated like an afterthought. But at Attuned Midwifery Services, we know that how you're supported after birth can be just as important as your birth experience itself.

✨ The postpartum time—often called the "fourth trimester"—is a sacred window of healing, bonding, learning, and transformation.

It’s a time when:
🌀 Your body is recovering
🌀 Your hormones are shifting
🌀 You’re feeding and nurturing a newborn
🌀 You’re becoming someone new

You deserve care that sees you, not just your baby. 💛

With Attuned Midwifery Services, our care doesn’t stop when the cord is cut. We continue walking with you through:
✔️ In-home postpartum visits
✔️ Breastfeeding and newborn support
✔️ Emotional check-ins
✔️ Space to reflect, process, and be heard

Because you matter. Your healing matters. Your story matters.

Let’s make postpartum care a priority, not a luxury.

Annie K***z, CPM, LM

Midwife Annie K***z is a Certified Professional Midwife licensed in the states of Texas and New Mexico. In 2001, Annie began her journey learning the art of midwifery at Casa de Nacimiento, a busy birth center in El Paso, Texas. She witnessed her first birth only three hours after arriving at the birth center, and instantly knew birth was her calling. Annie immersed herself in the study of midwifery and completed her internship and subsequent residency in 2004.

In the following years, Annie had the opportunity to train with homebirth midwives in Colorado, Utah, and Texas. She has always felt that learning skills and styles from so many different midwives has greatly diversified and enriched her practice. Since becoming licensed in 2007, Annie has worked as a staff midwife at both Casa de Nacimiento and Maternidad la Luz, providing client care and training midwifery students. She has a passion for “midwifing the midwife” and sending skilled midwives into their communities. Annie began her private midwifery practice in 2015, and became a provider at the Retreat Maternity Center in 2016.

Annie’s experience in midwifery, and her own births to her four children, has taught her the critical importance of respectful, compassionate care. All families should have access to education and options in their pregnancy and birth care, no matter their circumstances. Annie has made true informed consent a pillar of her midwifery practice. She has had the privilege of working with families from all walks of life. She honors the power of birth, and is awed every single time she witnesses a new life enter the world. Annie has attended over 800 out-of-hospital births, and continues to serve families choosing home birth or birth at the Retreat Maternity Center.
