Oona Mekas

Oona Mekas is a midwife, herbalist and women’s health advocate in the Hill Country of Central Texas. Oona began working with pregnant women in 2010 as a prenatal yoga instructor, and after the beautiful home birth of her daughter in 2014, transitioned first into doula work and childbirth education before becoming a community-based midwife. Her approach is based on individualized care, autonomy, true informed consent, with the goal of ensuring birthing mamas feel heard and held in support in whatever choices they are making for themselves and their families. Oona lives in the hills of Wimberley, TX with her family and a host of furry and feathered animals.

Aside from her own private midwifery practice, Oona is the Executive Director and founder of the Hill Country Women’s Health Collective in Wimberley - a nonprofit, free women’s health clinic run by midwives dedicated to making women’s healthcare and education accessible to all women in the Hill Country of Central Texas.
