Jennifer Timbs LM, CPM
Home birth services for the greater Austin and Belton area.
Hi, I'm Jen Timbs LM, CPM! I'm an experienced midwife of 15+ years who has attended hundreds of births in a variety of settings. I completed my midwifery schooling in 2004, then apprenticed with several different midwives as well as completed two midwifery internships at birth centers in Senegal, Africa and in the Philippines. I opened my first solo practice in 2007 in Northeast Pennsylvania. I am a Certified Professional Midwife and Licensed Midwife.
I moved from PA in 2021 to work as a staff midwife at a large local birth center in Austin before returning to home birth midwifery in 2022. In 2023, we have added the option of a birth center birth at Lotus Community Birthing Center in North Austin if you feel home birth is not for you!
I'm experienced with singleton, twin, breech, and vbac deliveries. I love the autonomy and intimacy that a small practice brings for me and for my clients.
Currently seeing clients in our office space in NW Austin on Pecan Park Blvd on Mondays - Wednesday. For Belton/Killeen area clients, we are seeing clients at The Spa at Lunaria on Tuesdays. Telehealth appointments are available as well.
Deondra Hinton, Senior Student Midwife
Deondra is our Senior Student Midwife, Primary Birth Assistant, and Midwifery Healthcare Manager.
Deondra is the mother of three who grew up in a military family and is a grandmother to one beautiful little boy. Deondra began working in the birth field in 2016 and worked for several years at a local birth center before joining Austin Better Birth Midwifery in June of 2022. She has completed her midwifery apprenticeship and training.
Deondra will be sitting for her North American Registry of Midwives exam soon and then will apply for her Texas midwifery license. We are excited that she will be our second midwife for the practice once she has her license.
Lactation Consultant
Mariah Brice RN, BSN, IBCLC
Hi! My name is Mariah Brice. I am a certified Mother Baby Registered Nurse and Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I have been working as a registered nurse in Postpartum for 4 years serving mothers of all walks of life. I have assisted mothers to breastfeed both well babies on the Women’s Unit to infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. My passion for breastfeeding and postpartum care started from my own experience with my first son. I fondly remember trying to make sense of it all, looking for helpful avenues to find factual information. My goal is to empower women through postpartum and their breastfeeding journey.
