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 an honest look at what home birth really offers.

When researchers ask why families choose home birth, the same answers rise to the top: avoid unnecessary intervention, labor in a place that feels safe, and keep decision‑making in your hands — with a midwife who already knows you.
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 familyIn study after study, the #1 reason families choose home birth is simple: they want to avoid unnecessary medical intervention — and keep the comfort, privacy, and control that let labor actually work. For healthy, low‑risk pregnancies with a skilled midwife and a clear hospital transfer plan, that choice is backed by strong outcome data.
This is the reason families name most often. Planned home birth with qualified midwives is consistently linked with far fewer inductions, epidurals, episiotomies, forceps/vacuum births, and cesareans than typical hospital care — more spontaneous vaginal births, less “one intervention leading to the next.”
Who is in the room. How you move. Whether you eat or labor in water. No strangers walking in for shift change, no policy deciding your positions. Autonomy and informed consent aren’t a bonus at home — they’re the point.
Oxytocin (the hormone that runs labor) thrives on privacy, dim light, and feeling unwatched. Families choose home because it’s familiar — your bed, your bathroom, your partner close — so the nervous system can settle and labor can progress.
Continuity of midwifery care — the same midwife through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum — is linked with better experiences and fewer interventions. Visits are unhurried. The person catching your baby already knows your history, your fears, and your plan.
Partners aren’t visitors. Kids can meet their sibling in the next room. The people who love you can stay without hospital visitor rules. Birth becomes a family event again — not a procedure behind a curtain.
Uninterrupted skin‑to‑skin. Breastfeeding support in the first hour. Newborn checks in your arms. Then days and weeks of postpartum visits for healing, feeding, and newborn care — instead of a 24‑hour discharge and a “good luck” pamphlet.
Home birth is for healthy, low‑risk pregnancies with a skilled midwife who carries emergency training and equipment — and transfers when a hospital is the wiser next step. Sherry collaborates with local hospital teams (including Henderson Hospital advisory work), so that bridge is practiced, not theoretical.
When the dust settles, families don’t just want “a healthy baby.” They want to remember the birth as theirs — calm, respected, unbroken. That positive birth experience is one of the most powerful reasons people choose home again for the next baby.
