A’Maya was born at home and came to the path of midwifery after giving birth to her two children at home with midwives. She graduated from the National Midwifery Institute and became a Licensed Midwife and Certified Professional Midwife in 2008. She has provided midwifery care in high-volume birth centers in Texas and California. She has attended nearly 1000 community births and trained approximately 30 midwifery students throughout her career. A’Maya strongly believes that birthing families should be respectfully supported in having a safe, healthy and positive birthing experience.
