Closing of Practice
Dear El Paso Birth Community,
I have accepted a position with Vida Midwifery in Las Cruces as a staff midwife starting in August 2026.
Vida Midwifery is a group midwifery practice attending homebirths in Southern New Mexico that is opening a birth center in summer 2026. I’ve known the midwives at Vida for years, and I trust and respect them. This is an opportunity I am excited to accept. I believe group practice creates greater sustainability for midwives, and therefore excellent care for birthing families. The birth center they are building is going to be gorgeous, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work there.
However, it does mean that I will be slowly closing my practice at Attuned Midwifery Services. After 10 years of building this practice, I feel sad about letting it go. I have been honored to care for so many families in El Paso. I will continue care for all clients currently registered, but will not be accepting any new clients.
​
In the future, if you do become pregnant, I encourage you to consider giving birth at Vida Midwifery’s birth center. If you prefer to have a home birth or birth center services here in El Paso, please refer to the list posted in the "CONTACT US" section of this website. I will be maintaining my Texas midwifery license, but my commitment to Vida Midwifery prevents me from taking any private clients for homebirths in El Paso.
I do plan on having some type of celebration in fall of 2026 as Attuned Midwifery begins to wind down. I also hit the milestone of attending 1000 births in 2025, and have been learning and practicing midwifery for 25 years. Stay tuned as plans for that celebration come to fruition! I hope that you all can come celebrate with us.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about this transition. I will do my best to help smooth out this transition for everyone involved. I deeply appreciate your trust in me as your midwife. Working with you and your family over the years has been a deep joy.
​
Sincerely, Annie Kuntz, CPM

"I cannot express enough how AMAZING Annie is!!! I switched my care late in my pregnancy (I believe I was 35 weeks!!) The hospital I had planned to deliver at ended up not being my ideal environment. I am soooooo happy I followed my heart and placed my trust and care in Annie’s hands. All of my visits were treated with love & care. My labor and delivery was emotional, empowering, and special all because of Annie’s wonderful care. She is so gentle, loving, and truly cares for you and your baby. And I absolutely loved our postpartum care, making sure that not only was baby doing great, but that I was equally doing great (physically, emotionally, mentally). I truly feel that Annie was meant to be our midwife to support and encourage me; my husband and I knew right from meeting her that she was meant for us! I am so grateful I was able to have a successful VBAC with Annie by my side!"
