The Friendly and Loving Staff of CentreVida

Faith Beltz, LM, CPM

My journey to midwifery began long before I knew it, when I became a young teen mother. As all parents, I was profoundly touched by the birth and raising of my son. However, when it came time for my second child, I felt instinctively that there must be a more empowering and peaceful way to birth then what I had experienced in the traditional medicalized model of care.

That is what led me to finding a midwife and recognizing my deeply held passion for serving women in birth. In 2004, I became a Certified Professional Midwife after graduating from the Association of Texas Midwives Training Program as Student of the Year. My practice is centered around the belief that the miracle of pregnancy and birth is best facilitated by offering education, informed choices, gentle monitoring and hands on support.

My vision for CentreVida was to fulfill the need for a free-standing birthing center in South Austin and to create a space for parents to connect within the community. It is my goal to do all that I can to continue to expand access to the many benefits of naturally centered birth and midwifery care. Faith Austin Midwife

I decided to become a midwife after my own wonderful homebirth experiences and ever since, it's been my hope and joy to bring the miraculous experience of a natural birth to other women and their families.

I worked as a nurse from 1985-1998 in internal medicine, gastroenterology, family practice, and pediatrics. I began my training as a direct entry midwife in 1997 and started my own practice in 2000. I am licensed to practice in the state of Texas and a certified professional midwife.

I feel it an honor and a privilege to serve women and their families during the childbearing time. It is my hope and focus that the woman and her family feel informed and encouraged to participate in the choices surrounding her pregnancy and childbirth.

I truly trust the birth process and hope to affirm each woman's ability to birth in her own way. Women labor best in a place they feel safe, free, and private, with attendants they know and trust. For many women, this is with a midwife.

My aim is to assist families by providing personalized care during the childbearing year with the hope that they will embark on parenthood with an enhanced sense of confidence, fulfillment and joy. June Austin Midwife

Jessica Postol, LMT

I am a professional and intuitive massage therapist who believes regular bodywork can revitalize the mind, body, and spirit, helping to create the sacred space needed for healing and growth. I've found through my practice, that my most rewarding work comes from offering a bit of nurturing care to those going through one of life's many transitions (childbirth, chronic pain or accidents, moving, getting married, going away to college, losing a job, recovery from illness, the loss of a loved one, etc). When we allow ourselves the space to heal with grace during these times of transition, we learn to operate from our higher consciousness, and are able to be more relaxed, present, focused, and grounded in everyday life.

I am a graduate of Texas Healing Arts Institute and am a Kundalini Yoga Teacher at the 200 Hr Level through Yoga Yoga. I have also taken additional workshops in Prenatal Massage, Sports & Deep Tissue Massage, and Geriatric Massage. I am working towards my 500hr certification in Kundalini Yoga and have studied with such Master Teachers as Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Snatam Kaur, GuruDev Singh, GuruGanesha Singh, and Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa.

Aside from my focus on prenatal and postpartum work, I am honored to volunteer at Harbor Hospice in South Austin and have two daughters (ages 17 and 18) and a 12 year old Border Collie named Cosmo.
