Meet Your Midwife
"It's not about the numbers for me. I'd rather build a relationship than have a whole bunch of people I can't remember."
Licensed since 2017 and NARM certified, Shatamia keeps her caseload small on purpose — so when it's time to make the hard calls together, you're making them with someone who already knows your story. She's a solo practitioner backed by a full team of midwives, so care never depends on one person's schedule.
Why Families Choose Baby Catcher
Every birth center says they care. Here's what that looks like in practice.
30–60 minute visits with no wait time, and real conversation instead of a rushed checklist.
Caseload kept intentionally small, so you're known by name — not by chart number.
A backup team of midwives, part-time midwives, and students — coverage never depends on one schedule.
The Journey
30–60 min, in person with a center tour or virtual — always free.
Records transfer, low-risk confirmation, retainer, and chart access.
Monthly to 28 weeks, biweekly to 36, weekly after — in-house labs.
At the birth center or at home, water birth available in both, on call 37–42 weeks.
Day 1 & 7 home visits, Day 3 check-in, 2- and 6-week office visits.
Stories & Reviews
"We felt completely at home with these amazing women — thorough, knowledgeable, and attentive from day one. Truly a gift to our community, and an all-natural birth with a perfectly healthy baby boy."
"Always on time, professional, and caring — supportive without ever being overbearing. If you're looking for the best of the best, Tammy is it."
"She stays a while after the birth, comes back a few days later, checks in by video, then again at six weeks — so hands-on, unlike the hospital. A smooth, fast labor and delivery."
