Private · Personal · Individualized
Private, individualized birth and postpartum education led by a Certified Nurse Midwife with labor-and-delivery nursing experience. Whether you need focused preparation, guidance creating a birth plan, or birth doula support, your care is shaped around your questions, priorities, and goals.
One-on-one birth education
Every session is private and tailored to you. Ask your own questions, focus on what matters most, and prepare alongside your support person without the pace of a group class.

Bethany Youngdale, MSN, RN, CNM
I’m Bethany, a Certified Nurse Midwife and Registered Nurse who has specialized in labor and delivery and postpartum care for families throughout the greater Austin area.
I’m also a mother, and I understand how personal the experience of preparing for birth can be. My goal is to offer a calm place where you can ask honest questions, receive clear education, and prepare around what matters most to your family.
I feel called to serve families in this capacity—bringing together professional knowledge, personal understanding, and thoughtful one-on-one support. For families who desire it, faith can be gently incorporated into the preparation process.
