About the providers
Jennifer Timbs, LM, CPM
I'm a Certified Professional Midwife, Licensed Midwife (Texas license #99444) with over 17 years of experience in midwifery. I started out as a doula in New Jersey in 2002 where I also taught Imagery Birthing classes and Happiest Baby on the Block classes. I began midwifery school in Media, PA in 2001 and completed 2 years of midwifery school for home birth midwives. I then embarked on my apprenticeship/internship journey. I apprenticed with several home birth midwives in my area and then went abroad to complete internships in Senegal, Africa and in the Philippines.
I opened my own home birth practice in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania in 2007. While in PA, I enjoyed a thriving practice where I served a rural population in the mountains, the Amish to the East of me, and a more urban population to the South. In 2021, we made the decision to move to the Austin area where I began work at Austin Area Birthing Center as a staff midwife while my husband took a transfer to a position in Round Rock, TX. I returned to Home birth in 2022, offering both home and birth center birth in Texas. In 2023 I also completed my Bridge Certificate through the North American Registry of Midwives to fulfill the International Confederation of Midwives educational standards agreed upon by US MERA, MEAC, ACOG and the ACNM. In this profession, one is always learning and adding more certificates and CEUs. In 2024, my husband received a promotion that included a move to the Sandusky, Ohio area.
In my free time I love sci-fi (I'm a big trekkie), video games, movies, musicals, DIY home improvements, and true crime/cult documentaries. My youngest is now 18 and recently graduated from home school/online schooling. We enjoy a true crime streaming or bad movie fest anytime we can. We love camping and Ren Faires as a family! My husband and I had a big family, six children, most of whom are now adults so we are down to 1 in the house with us.
I look forward to providing you with the personalized service that the midwives model of care entails. Call or e-mail me to set up a free consultation.
