Sarah Maslen Havlik

Certified Professional Midwife + Women's Circle Facilitator

Midwifery first whispered to me during my studies as an Anthropology student, where I learned about birth practices from cultures around the world. Every birth story deepened my curiosity as I learned there were so many beautiful ways to birth and be born. I am continually moved by mothers all over the world, who birth in power in hospitals, huts, homes, fields and waters. Witnessing the peaceful, instinctual births of our farm animals, and assisting with the occasional stuck piglet, cemented my desire to learn about natural birth and be a witness to the miracle of life.

As a healthcare data analyst, I saw first hand the positive outcomes of the fusion between evidence-based practice and traditional wisdom. I believe every woman and her family deserve personalized, skilled support that empowers their choices and celebrates the sacred nature of birth. As a homebirth midwife, intimate, personalized care for families choosing to welcome their children at home, with comprehensive support that bridges clinical expertise and compassionate, individualized care. As a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), I specialize exclusively in homebirth and birth center care.

​​

My studies and training have been profoundly shaped by inspirational Indigenous and traditional midwives who have championed holistic, evidence-based approaches to birth. The wisdom of elders like Sister Morningstar and the healing work of midwives like Mary Lou Singleton have deeply informed my understanding of birth as a transformative, sacred experience. I view the practice of midwifery as an extension of ancient service to women, recognizing that the dignity and support offered during birth reflects the deepest values of our community and shapes the foundational experiences of both mothers and children.​

A bit more about me:​​

I was born and raised in a small town in Ontario, Canada before falling in love and marrying my husband in 2022. I moved to Texas in 2024 to join him, where we share land and homestead life with his family.

​​​

I'm a lover of fresh milk, organic food, singing loudly, well-organized spreadsheets, sun-dried laundry, pomegranate seeds, swimming in natural springs, and babies of all species. I facilitate a local women's circle in Goliad, Texas, where we gather monthly to share female-only space and celebrate our lives and experiences.

My greatest privilege is to help you achieve the natural birth you desire, sister friend!
