Hope McDonald is a staff midwife at Wellspring Midwifery Care & Birth Center. She completed her apprenticeship at Wellspring and became both a Licensed Midwife in Texas and a NARM Certified Professional Midwife in the spring of 2024.
Hope started her career as a licensed cosmetologist, working in Sport Clips. She quickly realized that was not what she wanted to do her whole life, and she decided to study midwifery with the Association of Texas Midwives Midwifery Training Program, where Ashley Musil
is an instructor and Education Chair. Hope stood out an an excellent student and a young woman who is wise beyond her years. She is expecting her first baby in early 2025 and plans to give birth at none other than Wellspring Birth Center!
She and her fiance, an auto mechanic, live in the Conroe area and are excited to be expanding their family and serving their community.

"Ashley and Hope give great advice, and everyone here was flexible and laidback during the whole process. Those things especially helped during delivery. The things they recommended we do in preparation for the birth I believe greatly helped make labor shorter and more efficient than even they expected. I actually trust people here, which is more than I can say for most doctors. I have no complaints and would highly recommend coming here. Would come again!"

"My care throughout pregnancy and postpartum with Ashley and Hope felt peaceful and safe. They always took time to listen and answer any questions or concerns. Visits did not fuel worry or exude a lack of care but established confidence in them and the choice to be there. I really enjoy Ashley and Hope's personality and think they make a beautiful team."
