Our Mission  & Vision

We are woman of color, a sisterhood, disrupting capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and institutional abuse. Our organization is built upon horizontal leadership and focuses on whole-body wellness from a reproductive justice lens. Our goal is to improve pregnancy and birth outcomes for communities of color in Central Texas by providing culturally congruent education and support using the midwifery model of care. 

TESTIMONIALS

From our community

Mother of baby Z

After spending time doing Google searches for Black and Hispanic midwives and doulas in the Austin area I stumbled upon the Mama Sana Vibrant Woman website and from there sent an email inquiring about their support. I decided to sign up for their free prenatal support groups led by MSVW birth companion, Ellen Gonzalez. Ellen provided a wealth of resources and support about birthing techniques, best practices for advocating for yourself during childbirth (especially with the new COVID procedures) and preparing our home environment for a new baby.
