Shaw Midwifery
and Wellness, LLC
Midwifery Care
My mission is to assist women and new families to have the birth they desire while ensuring safety. I am homebirth friendly and can provide initial, 36-week, and 42-week risk assessments that comply with ADH policy and procedure. If a problem develops in your pregnancy, a plan of care can be initiated, and co-management of moderate-risk conditions can be instituted.
CPM will contact Cindy via phone, text, or email that you have a client who would like to schedule a RA.
I can order labs, ultrasounds, diagnostics, breast pumps, prescribe needed medications, treat pregnancy-related conditions, and keep you safe at home with your chosen Certified Professional Midwife (CPM/LLM). While I am available for you during your pregnancy, I do not attend your birth. I will fax the completed RA with recommendations if any to the CPM once I have the visit completed
Hormone and Endocrine Health
I provide comprehensive care for hormonal, metabolic, and endocrine conditions affecting women's health from adolescence through menopause. My approach focuses on improving underlying health, reducing symptoms, and lowering long-term health risks — not quick fixes.
Hormones and metabolism affect nearly every aspect of a woman’s health—including energy levels, menstrual cycle, fertility, mood, weight regulation, and long-term disease risk. When these systems are out of balance, symptoms can develop gradually and often overlap.
I evaluate the root causes of your symptoms and create individualized treatment plans based on your history, labs, and goals.

Meet Cindy Shaw
MSN, CNM, APRN
If you’re dreaming of a home birth, you want someone by your side who truly understands and respects your choices. That’s where Cindy comes in. With over 25 years of experience, Cindy has supported women and families through all kinds of birth journeys—whether at home, in a birth center, or in the hospital. This wide-ranging experience has given Cindy a deep appreciation for the unique ways each family welcomes their baby.
What sets Cindy apart? Before becoming a midwife, Cindy served six years in the military, working as an EMT, Combat Medic, Company Clerk, and LPN on labor and delivery. These roles shaped a strong sense of responsibility and advocacy and sparked a lifelong passion for the power of birth.
Today, Cindy focuses on supporting pregnant women in Arkansas who want the comfort and empowerment of a home birth under the care of Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs). Cindy offers risk assessments, consultations, diagnostic testing, and prescriptive management, always working collaboratively to keep families safe while honoring their birth plans. Cindy provides comprehensive, personalized care grounded in both clinical expertise and the midwifery model.
At the heart of Cindy’s work is a simple belief: every woman deserves to feel empowered and beautiful during her birth experience. Cindy trusts in each woman’s ability to choose what’s right for her body, spirit, and soul, and feels honored to walk alongside families and midwives during one of life’s most transformative experiences.
