Cat McGrath

Cat is a seasoned birth professional with over 18 years of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She became a certified doula at 19 through DONA and a certified yoga instructor at 20 through The International Sivananda School of Yoga, where she trained and lived in an ashram for three months, returning as staff annually for a decade.

Her journey led her to work as a staff doula in a hospital setting, supporting labor, postpartum, and NICU families. Inspired by the midwives she worked alongside, she pursued midwifery training in Austin, TX, and spent 11 years at a high-volume birth center, attending over 800 births. There, she also founded and ran the prenatal yoga program, providing free yoga to expecting mothers—an offering that continues today.

Cat later spent seven years in California, supporting families as a Monitress, helping laboring women make informed choices and reduce medical interventions before hospital births. In 2022, she returned to Austin to join a private home birth practice, bringing her extensive experience across hospital, birth center, and home birth settings. Having attended well over 1,000 births, she is deeply committed to empowering families and honoring the sacred journey of birth.
