We service the Greater Miami area, including Miami-Dade and southern Broward counties — from Pembroke Pines, Coral Gables, Kendall to Palmetto Bay, Homestead and Upper Keys. Please note that while we are happy to accommodate to our patients in South Florida, we do charge a $1,000 travel fee for those 30 miles out of 33196.

While we do not work directly with insurance, we are happy to provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement through out-of-network coverage. 

A home birth may be the right choice for you if you are seeking a personalized and intimate birthing experience in the comfort of your own home. Home births are often preferred by individuals who desire a natural approach to childbirth and wish to avoid unnecessary medical interventions. It's important to discuss your individual circumstances to ensure that home birth is a safe and suitable option for you. If you have any questions, please reach out to us. 

Homebirth can be a safe and empowering option for many healthy, low-risk pregnancies. It offers the comfort of being in your own space, the freedom to labor and birth your way, and deeply personalized, continuous care from your birth team.

Together, we’ll review your medical history, pregnancy progress, and birth preferences to see if homebirth is a good fit for you. Our goal is to provide honest guidance and informed choice, so you can feel confident about your birth plan—whether that means birthing at home, in a birth center, or in a hospital with doula support.

If you’re curious, we’d be honored to meet with you and talk about what homebirth could look like for you and your family.

Homebirth offers a personal and meaningful way to welcome your baby in the comfort of your own space. It allows you to relax, feel at ease, and labor on your own terms, surrounded by the people and environment you choose. With dedicated, continuous support from your midwife, you can focus on your body’s natural process without unnecessary interventions. Homebirth also creates space for partners and family to be involved in a way that feels genuine and connected, all while ensuring your choices and intuition are honored throughout your experience.

While home birth doesn’t offer epidurals, there are many effective ways to manage pain naturally. We use comfort measures like warm water immersion, massage, movement and positioning, breathing techniques, and emotional support to help you cope through labor. We’ll work closely with you to find what feels right in the moment, so you feel supported, safe, and as comfortable as possible during your birth.

Your safety and your baby’s well-being are always our top priorities. As trained midwives, we continuously monitor you and your baby throughout labor to recognize any signs that may need extra care. If a complication develops that is beyond what can be safely managed at home, we have clear plans in place for timely transfer to a hospital. We’ll stay with you, help coordinate care, and continue to provide support so you feel guided and never alone. Our goal is to ensure you have the safest, most respectful birth experience possible, wherever it takes place.

We encourage families to reach out as early as possible in their pregnancy to secure a spot in our care. Our practice offers truly personalized support, so we limit the number of clients we take each month to ensure you receive the time and attention you deserve. We’re currently booked through January, so if you’re considering a home birth with us, please get in touch soon to discuss availability for your due date and arrange a consultation.

Absolutely. Your home birth is your space, and you’re welcome to invite the people who will make you feel safe, supported, and comfortable. Whether that’s your partner, children, other family members, a close friend, or a doula, we’ll work with you to honor your wishes and help everyone understand how best to support you. Our goal is to create a calm, respectful environment where you feel fully at ease and surrounded by care.
