Meet the Midwife
My name is Gretchen Ort, LM, and I'm a natural minded mom to 5 beautiful girls, and 3 handsome boys ages 2-23 years.
Midwifery and natural family living has always been a passion of mine.
Since childhood I was taught birthing at home, breastfeeding, and a natural path was the way to go. As an adult, I recognized that informed consent was just as important.
I became a birth doula in 2010, and served the families I was blessed to know both in and out of hospital.
In 2014 I decided to take the next step, and enrolled in Mercy In Action Midwifery College.
In June of 2018 I received my Certified Professional Midwife certificate from NARM and my Midwifery License from the state of Texas.
I am thrilled to offer Midwifery services to my community in Ennis and surrounding areas.
I've experienced five very different births, including two losses in the 3rd trimester, and both home, birth center and hospital birth.
I feel that I bring support and understanding from both aspects to my practice.
I firmly believe that with each birth, we re-birth ourselves as mothers.
Each birth brings a new experience, with a new wisdom and spirit about ourselves.
I look forward to walking through this amazing and unique journey with you.
