In this episode of Birth in Focus, I’m joined by Midwife, Sabrina Elliott, for a powerful conversation about the contrast between urban and rural birth experiences in Texas.
Sabrina brings a rare perspective—having served families in both city centers like Fort Worth and rural communities such as Abilene and San Angelo. With deep roots in home birth midwifery, she shares how access, culture, and care models shift dramatically depending on location, and what that means for birthing families.
We explore: • How geography impacts birth choices and outcomes • The realities of serving families in rural areas • What birth looks like in Hotel • How midwives are bridging the gap with heart and skill
Sabrina’s approach to birth is holistic, evidence-based, and full of reverence for the sacred nature of this work. Whether you’re preparing for birth, working in the field, or just curious about the landscape of birth in Texas, this episode will expand your perspective.
🎧 Tune in and be inspired by how Sabrina advocates for personalized care—no matter the zip code.
