Greater Houston Midwives
Samantha Maddox LM, CPM
I started midwifery training and education in 2013 with WomanCraft Midwifery I have actually been in the medical field for over twenty years. Through my midwifery education I also worked as a doula and a placenta encapsulation. Before coming to midwifery, I started working as a medical assistant and phlebotomist for a busy private practice OB/GYN. It was there where I fell in love with the whole birth process and began reading everything I could related to pregnancy and birth. I continually strive to expand my knowledge base through courses and workshops on topics such as Aromatherapy, Breastfeeding, Homeopathic, Kinesiotaping and Acupressure Comfort Measures, as well as others. I am absolutely in love with birth and ever amazed at the brilliance of a woman’s body and her ability to produce life.
Education and Informed Consent are her passion. I believes in body autonomy, the physiological birth process, and holding space. I feel it is an honor and privilege to work with the grown humans and tiny humans. I continues to hold my medical assisting and phlebotomy certifications as well as my Texas Midwifery License, Certified Professional Midwife credential, CPR for health providers and Advanced Neonatal Resuscitation credentials. I have many certifications that have helped me become a better midwife.
I am the mother of three wonderful children, who are now amazing young adults. My children are my whole world and I wouldn’t have it any other way. In fact, it is because of them and my birth experiences that I have become a midwife. If I am not in clinic or at a birth I can be found reading, sewing, quilting, or hanging out with her kids playing games.
