Bridget Wojtowich
Student Midwife
Bridget is a senior student midwife from Vidor, TX. She now lives in Louisiana with her husband and two children. Her first birth was in a hospital and she knew she did not want the same experience again. After learning all she could about birth, she had her second baby at the Birth Center of Beaumont. She could not get enough of the birth world and changed paths to midwifery. She has been training with Jackie Griggs for 2 years. Every interaction Bridget has had since starting her midwifery journey has been seen as a blessing.
"Nothing is more rewarding than seeing the abundance of love within a growing family. Being with them through their prenatal care and birth allows me to be a part of their family temporarily. We get to laugh, cry, and pray together; all while I strengthen my clinical skills by ensuring their health and safety."

Margeaux Galaviz
Birth Assistant
Hello, my name is Margeaux Galaviz and I’m married to an amazing man named Stephan. We currently have two beautiful daughters with plans to have more children soon. I am truly a birth junkie. I love every single thing about the process of bringing new life earthside.
After I had my first daughter, I really had a strong desire to help other mothers in their pregnancy/post-partum journey. I had such an amazing experience with Placenta Encapsulation so I decided to start there. Our bodies are crafted so intricately according to God’s beautiful design. Through Placenta Encapsulation, I can show other mothers that our bodies are able to provide us with everything we need for healing. A few years later, Jackie approached me about a birth assistant position. I knew it was something I wanted to do. I pray for you and your babies even before birth. That they will bring such a oneness to your families and they will be the peacekeepers. I’m so honored you allow me into your sacred place.
