Sabrina Elliott, LM, CPM
Sabrina Elliott is a (LM) Licensed Midwife and a (CPM) Certified Professional Midwife. She had a homebirth practice for 5 years in Abilene and San Angelo, but recently moved to Fort Worth to practice with her longtime friend Amy Tate, owner and midwife at Swiss Avenue Birth & Wellness. It is located in the heart of Dallas, Texas. On occasion she will be taking private clients for homebirth, but the best way to have her at your birth is by booking a tour at the birth center. Tours are held every Tuesday from 11am-noon at 4100 Swiss Avenue, Dallas, TX where you can meet Sabrina, Amy and the midwives of Swiss Avenue. You can visit their website at www.swissavebirth.com
Sabrina was the most amazing choice we made during our 2nd pregnancy. She really gave us a redemptive birth following the traditional OB/GYN “assisted” hospital birth of our son that really left us wanting more. Sabrina was warm and welcoming and really took the time to answer all of me and my husband’s questions, as I had come prepared with a sheet full. She answered as fully as she could and even took the time to research when she didn’t fully know the answer. Despite the complications that I had with my previous pregnancy, my most recent pregnancy was uneventful and I attribute that to Sabrina’s gentle guidance and her encouragement to make our own, researched decisions. She was more than a medical provider, she was a readily available resource for all things pregnancy and took the time to get to know my husband and I outside of being patients. The most valuable thing she did was truly listen to me and helped ease my worries…..If we are to have more children, there is no choice to be made. Sabrina will be our midwife!
Sabrina and her team are absolutely amazing. I moved to Abilene when I was halfway through my pregnancy. I was so nervous about finding a local midwife who I would click with and would support my dream home birth. I met with Sabrina and felt instantly content. Every check up was so much more personal than a check up with an OB/GYN. They felt like I was catching up with a friend. My birth was a dream come true. My baby girl came, my husband got to catch her, the birth team cleaned up my bed and got me all comfortable, the birth assistants spoon fed me breakfast, started the laundry , took out the trash, and left my husband and I to dote on our new family member. A little while later, they got an herbal bath set up for baby and I. It was absolutely everything I wanted and more. I would recommend Sabrina and her team to anyone who is looking for a more natural and less stressful birth experience.
If I were to ever have another baby I’d definitely hire Sabrina again. This was my first baby born in the United States and because I’m used to different ways I wanted quite a few things different from standard care. Sabrina always listened to my concerns and wishes, while still being honest with me about her concerns and how she felt comfortable doing things. I felt like she provided more care than what was in our contract. For example; one time in my pregnancy I fell and Sabrina came over right away to listen to the baby and placenta to make sure everything was alright. During labor she was the perfect amount of “present” and always encouraged me to trust my body. I loved that nobody told me what to do, or when to push. When it was time to push, I let my body tell me what to do and I was the one telling everybody that “he’s coming!”. My baby was born in a birth tub in our bedroom. It was so peaceful that our other three kids slept through the whole thing.
