"It was a dream to have Tawnya as my midwife for my second child. I got the best customized care from her since day 1, she is beyond a midwife, a trusted partner with so much knowledge and compassion. The home water birth was incredible! My baby was posterior so while we worked hard, Tawnya knew perfectly what needed to be done and what I needed to hear to empower me and my family. We recommend Four Hands Midwifery with utmost pride and love because we know Tawnya is one of the best midwives you can find." - Marisa O.

My name is Tawnya Schiebel and I am the owner and chief licensed midwife of Montrose Midwife.  I am passionate to witness families growing empowered as they birth their families. I have attended births and families that look like a yurt birth on a snowy mesa, a late-transfer of care in a metropolis birth center, a VBAC water birth with a large family, a first-time home birther on a menonite farm.

My calling to midwifery began at an early age and in college I finally found the name for what I had always aspired to be: Midwife!  A few years of international travel and a brief life in France passed before I returned to my hometown, San Antonio, Texas to commit to an education in certified professional midwifery. 

I was accepted attendance to the Association of Texas Midwives Midwifery Training Program on full scholarship in 2006 and graduated Student of the Year 2009. Apprenticing for two years in metropolis San Antonio offered a rich and diverse training with eight different licensed midwives, in rural, urban, and birth center settings.

It is an honor to serve Western Slope Colorado, as it grows with blooming families.

Catch me outside hiking, floating, skiing, dancing, tending garden, and loving family life. Blessed births to all!
