Sherry founded Well Rounded Momma in 2006 and has spent nearly two decades walking alongside Las Vegas families — blending traditional midwifery with warm, evidence‑based care. Her philosophy is simple: a midwife's role isn't to guarantee an outcome, but to walk beside you with unwavering presence, skill, and support wherever your path leads.
Two experienced practitioners — and a straight answer to the safety question every parent asks first.

The first question is always: is it safe? For the right family, with a skilled midwife and a real hospital plan, home birth means fewer interventions, less exposure to hospital germs, and an hour of your midwife’s attention — not five minutes after a two‑hour wait.
Sherry shares real education on birth, pregnancy, and midwifery — the questions every family is quietly wondering about.
"We had an amazing home birth, each time, with Sherry. My husband was reluctant at first, but after meeting her he was well assured in her skill and our safety. She is amazing and I couldn't recommend her enough — Sherry will always be a part of our family."
— Amanda, Well Rounded Momma familySafety is question one. Everything else is why families stay once that question is answered honestly. For healthy, low‑risk pregnancies with a skilled midwife and a clear hospital transfer plan, planned home birth is linked with fewer interventions, less maternal infectious morbidity than hospital birth in multiple studies, and care that feels like a relationship — not a conveyor belt.
Named, then answered
The questions behind “I’m nervous”
What mothers keep saying when they choose home birth again for the next baby — safety, time, and a birth that still feels like theirs.
Skilled midwife + screening + transfer plan. Research on planned home birth for healthy pregnancies shows maternal outcomes that are as good or better on many measures — including fewer severe tears and less infectious morbidity than hospital cohorts in several studies.
Hospitals concentrate sick people. At home you’re in your own environment; medical tools are sterilized as needed. Families choose home partly to avoid hospital‑acquired infections (including staph/MRSA risk that comes with shared wards and high traffic).
The #1 stated reason in study after study. Fewer inductions, epidurals as default, episiotomies, instrumental births, and cesareans — so you’re less likely to get pulled into a cascade you never asked for.
Compare that to a typical OB visit: wait two hours, then five to ten minutes with the doctor. Unhurried midwifery visits mean your questions get answered and your midwife actually knows you before labor starts.
Eat. Move. Labor in water. Dim the lights. Your bed, your bathroom, your partner close. Oxytocin (the hormone that runs labor) loves privacy — which is why labor often progresses better where you feel safest.
Fathers aren’t visitors. Kids can meet the baby without a nurse clearing the room. Birth becomes a family event again — intimate, protected, yours.
Skin‑to‑skin uninterrupted. Breastfeeding support in the first hour. Newborn checks in your arms — not whisked to a nursery for routine pokes you didn’t ask for.
Postpartum visits for healing, feeding, and newborn care in the days and weeks after — instead of a 24‑hour hospital discharge and a pamphlet.
Families don’t only want “a healthy baby.” They want to remember the birth as calm, respected, and unbroken. That experience is why so many come back for home birth again.
Still have the safety question in your chest? Good. Bring it to a consult — your WRM midwife will answer it with your history in hand, not a brochure.
