Welcome! My name is Lisa. I am a Licensed Texas Midwife and a NARM Certified Professional Midwife. I live in McKinney, Texas. I am a wife of 18 years to a loving, supportive husband and father. Our children range from elementary school to high school. I am both college educated and a Christian. I fundamentally believe that pregnancy and birth are natural and normal events. All my life I have been interested in babies and birth. I am the mother of 4 children. I have experienced many different methods of birthing. From the boring, cold, clinical rooms of a hospital to the warmth and comforting surroundings of my own home birth. After my first two childbirth experiences, which I consider typical hospital births, I knew there had to be a better way to experience birth. I found this with the birth of my third child at Baylor of Dallas with a CNM. I was allowed to birth as I wanted and this was the beginning of my path to becoming a midwife. I began reading more about pregnancy and birth. When my third child was 9 months old I attended my first birth. This was a young mom of about 16 and she was so strong. She herself had been a home birth. She was confident and knew that this was a natural, normal process. With this experience I was ready to fully immerse myself and start my training to become a midwife. I started attending births in early 1999. Over the next 3 1/2 years I attended births, postpartum visits, did my book work, read many books, etc. - all the while taking care of my own family. Also in this course of my journey I was blessed to experience my own home birth. WOW! What an amazing experience, not just for myself, but for my entire family. While in my training period, I assisted 9 other area midwives. I was very fortunate to have this opportunity and believe that I have benefited from this well rounded training. I graduated from my Texas Midwifery Training Program in 2002. I have been in a solo practice for 6 years. Well that's a little about me. If you would like to discuss your birthing options, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you, Lisa Black, CPM, LM in McKinney, Texas |
