Tarena became a midwife in 2011 because she wanted to give all women the option of a midwife. Tarena has assisted over 1,000 babies into the world in the Winfield community. She successfully lowered the c-section rate at William Newton Hospital from over 30% to less than 15%. She had always dreamed of opening a birth center to give women the option to have their baby in a comfortable, safe, home-like environment where they can move around freely.  Tarena believes that women have better outcomes when they are able to trust their bodies to give birth.
