Carol Schumacher was called to midwifery after the two natural births of her children, Sarah in 1974 and Christopher in 1975. After raising her children she fulfilled her dream of becoming a midwife in 1998 when she graduated from a two-year midwifery program in Utah. She became a Certified Professional Midwife in 2001 and is licensed by the State of Texas. Carol has an evidence-based homebirth practice in Houston. She believes educating her clients and offering them informed choice empowers women and provides them with safe, quality midwifery care.
Carol is a member of the Association of Texas Midwives Education Committee and an educator for the ATM Midwifery Training Program. She is the Workshop Coordinator and one of the teachers of Normal Intrapartum (normal labor and delivery). She is currently serving as President of Greater Houston Midwives’ Alliance, a professional society of Licensed Midwives which provides accountability and continuing education.
Travel has enlarged Carol’s life and she is fascinated by different cultures, their traditions and anthropology. When she has time she enjoys weaving, spinning and knitting. She has two beautful grandchildren who live just around the corner and she is devoted to her Hemmingway cat, Murphy.
