Holly Shearman – CPM, Administrator and Clinical Director

I love being a midwife. I love being able to witness a woman giving birth. It is such a powerful and sacred event each and every time. It never gets old. Birth is such a miracle. I am dedicated to helping women and their families achieve the birth experience they desire.

I have always been interested in delivering babies but not sure which route to pursue. While doing my prerequisites for nursing school our family was relocated to Korea. In Korea my eyes were opened to alternative healthcare. I became interested in herbs and homeopathy and shortly after moving back home to San Antonio found a local midwifery organization. I attended one of the monthly meetings and was immediately “hooked”. I knew I had found my passion. I began midwifery school and attending births in 1995, while pregnant with my third child. His birth at home changed me-it was a much better experience than giving birth in the hospital. I didn’t have to fight for what I wanted. I wish every woman could experience what I experienced.

I became a CPM in 1999 and since then have worked in a variety of settings ranging from having my own home birth practice and birthing center to serving the Amish and Mennonite populations in Virginia for a year.
