Hello! My name is Peggy Garcia. I’m a proud momma to 6 beautiful kiddos that I have birthed and call my own! They range from 8 years old up to 21 years young. Our Austin journey started almost 16 years ago when I moved here from the Northeast with my husband and 3 of our children to pursue a career as an accountant. It didn’t take me long to figure out that I was not meant to sit behind a desk and stare at a computer screen for the rest of my life. I found myself working with infants and young children ever since. For the past 4 years, I have taught a 4/5 class at a local preschool, but still… my heart has always been with laboring, birthing, and postpartum parents and their babies. Any chance that I was given to be in the delivery room or help a family welcome there new little one… I jumped on. I have been blessed to be invited into the delivery room by several friends and family members to support them in their journeys in becoming parents. THAT is where I found my nitch. My love. My passion. I feel strongly about empowering women in this extremely special time and truly “mothering the mother” in the most crucial time… postpartum. I feel that with a well-nurtured mother comes a balanced, well cared for, and nurtured newborn and family.

In my free time, I love to support my boys at the baseball fields, sneak away on date nights with my amazing hubby, Jerry and snuggle my sweet pup, Remi. We enjoy time as a family outside swimming, walking, hiking, and simply enjoying the outside.

I personally have a wide variety of birth stories. I’ve delivered all my babies unmedicated. Most in the hospital, 1 at home. Some as easy as 1 push where the doctor only had time to put one glove on and some were a little more intense, like delivering a “sunny side up” baby and in another having a prolapsed uterus. My 4th baby, a 9-pound 8 oz baby boy, was delivered at home by an amazing midwife. Not having a home birth as an option with my first 3 I jumped at the opportunity and I felt comfortable enough with my body and my mind to know that I wanted a private, quiet, intimate birth at home. I was excited to explore this option here in Texas. That experience truly changed the way I looked at labor and delivery. I felt empowered, I felt heard and I felt like I was cared for every step of the way. I delivered our son in a “birthing pool” (I use that term lightly! My husband thought he was going to be cleaver and bought a fish covered kid’s pool at Toys R Us!) He got to “catch” our son that night and my mother in law and 2 of the most amazing women (midwives) were there supporting and cheering me on. It was an amazing experience for us. One that allowed me to have the birth I desired (even though I ended up with a prolapsed uterus and was destined to hospital births thereafter). I learned through that process that even though everything didn’t end up as planned, I had the support and love surrounding me to heal and be thankful that I delivered my baby at home under my terms. That is my goal with each mom/ family I work with. There is no guarantee that your labor and delivery can go exactly how you plan but with an amazing team surrounding you, we can ensure that we will do everything we can to make you feel respected, supported, and cared for every step of the way.

I would love the opportunity to support you. To be your cheerleader. Let’s visit and we can explore your needs and wants for your journey and how I can best help you accomplish that.
