My name is Meagan Bender, and I am a certified Birth Boot Camp Instructor and Doula in Montgomery, TX. My passion is to empower families through education and ongoing support so they can have amazing birth experiences! Our culture paints birth as something to fear, but I believe it to be one of life's most beautiful moments, something to be cherished and enjoyed. 
     After taking a Birth Boot Camp class during my first pregnancy, I knew I could have a natural birth - so I did! With the support of both my doula and my husband, I had a wonderful water birth in a freestanding birth center. I recently gave birth to our second child - another amazing water birth - at home. Our daughter was present and made for a terrific little doula. The feeling of joy and success I experienced after each birth is something I think all women should feel after giving birth, no matter how their baby comes into the world, and I want to help them get there!

Children are a heritage from the Lord,
    offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
    are children born in one’s youth.
Blessed is the man
    whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
    when they contend with their opponents in court.
(Psalm 127:3-5)
