ABOUT ME
My name is Shandy Cortes. I am a daughter of God and Disciple of Christ above all else. I live in Central Texas with my husband and three beautiful kids. They are my "why."
My passion for birth began while preparing for my first homebirth with my 3rd child. I didn't know anything about birth with my first and hesitated to advocate for what I wanted with my second.
Each of my drastically different birth stories (and God) have led me to birth work. I feel so blessed to be a witness to the strength of women and the power of God through birth
In normal life, I love to swim, read, quilt, play games and sports and my new passion, photography!


My Beliefs
It's important that your birth team shares your values. Here are a few of mine!
01
Undisturbed
Birth works best when left alone. Yes, complications can arise. However, God created the perfect design for birth and it works most of the time *if* undisturbed.
02
Spiritual
Birth is a physiological process, a physical feat and a mental game. Above all else, it is spiritual test to align our will with the Father’s and reach our potential as His Spirit Daughters.
03
Informed
To fully surrender to God’s will, a mother must be knowledgeable of all her options by seeking guidance from the Spirit and increasing wisdom through trusted sources.
04
Trust & Faith
A woman should trust the Lord to lead her through each step and only invite people into her birth space who will do the same.
Fear creates tension in the body and disturbs the natural flow of birth. Faithful and purposeful surrender empowers women to enable the atoning power of Christ.
