HELLO I AM OLIVIA!

Olivia Delavega, RNC-MNN, MSN, APRN, CNM

My name is Olivia Delavega, I am a Certified Nurse Midwife in the Rockwall area providing home based, woman-centered, holistic midwifery care for families in Rockwall, Fate, Forney, Rowlett, Garland, Mesquite and surrounding areas. I obtained my nursing degree in 2008 from El Centro College in Dallas, I began my nursing career at Methodist Dallas Medical Center in women and children services. This is where my love for women's health began. I then went on to obtain my BSN from Texas Tech University in 2016. I returned to Texas Tech in 2017 to continue my studies in Women's Health as a Midwife and obtained my Master of Science in Nursing. My passion is Women's Health and I look forward to devoting my career to the promotion and support of women throughout their lifespan. I am a firm believer in the power of the female body. I believe in providing the highest quality evidence based, holistic health care that is both woman-centered and physiologically sensitive. I skillfully practice the art of “doing nothing” as this is the heart of midwifery. I firmly believe that it is the place of the midwife and other attendants to provide the woman a safe and conducive environment for birth and to patiently allow the woman to birth her baby in a physiologic manner free from interruption and needless intervention. I apply my warm and empathic nature to calm women during labor using a variety of techniques to ensure an empowering and comfortable birthing experience as well as a safe and healthy delivery for baby. I strive to provide compassionate and empathetic care that is culturally sensitive and respectful to every family I serve. I am the mother to three of the most magnificent children, two boys and one girl. I am humbled daily that God chose me to be their mother. My children paved the vision for my career, each one making their own unique impact on the curves and twists it has taken. It was through the experiences of each of my pregnancies, labors and births that I have found myself where I am today. They each represent a separate piece of my heart! My clinical experience consists of rotations between Lover's Lane Birth Center, Allen Midwifery and Family Wellness Center (AKA Allen Birth Center), MacArthur OB/Gyn, and Women's Specialty OB/Gyn, providing preconception counseling, antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, newborn, well woman and primary care to over 600 clients. These rotations allowed me to gain experiences in a variety of naturopathic services and holistic woman-centered care. I have gained knowledge in a variety of labor support options such as water labor and birth and nitrous inhalation therapy for pain management. I was honored to receive exceptional training from a respected Ob/Gyn and 7 of the most highly regarded Midwives in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. I have been the primary attendant for over 100 births (and counting) in a variety of settings from hospital, birth center and home. By far my favorite are the home birth experiences! I look forward to providing you and your family the care you deserve. There has never been a better time to bring midwifery care and birth back to the home!!
