Kimberley Homer

My name is Kimberley Homer, and I am a dedicated Licensed Midwife and the proud owner of Crowning Midwifery, Birth Services, and Beyond, serving families throughout Jacksonville, Florida and the surrounding areas. I have been committed to birth work since 2012, walking alongside mothers and families during one of life’s most sacred transitions. Over the years, I have had the honor of supporting more than 300 families as they welcomed their babies into the world across three states and 22 cities. My journey has also included training and mentoring several student midwives and birth assistants, helping to cultivate the next generation of compassionate birth workers. I believe deeply in community collaboration and have partnered with local organizations to promote awareness, education, and meaningful support for the families I serve. Being a midwife is truly a blessing. Serving as a guide for families who entrust me with their care fills my heart with immense gratitude. My practice is rooted in holistic and intentional care, honoring the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. In addition to my clinical work, I am an herbal alchemist with my own apothecary, which allows me to thoughtfully incorporate plant medicine into my offerings. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy exploring my city, traveling in search of warm summer weather ☀️, energizing myself in a high-octane Zumba class 💃🏽, and spending quality time with the people I love ❤️.

In May of 2022 my husband and I witnessed the birth of our second baby girl, at home in total bliss. My husband was involved in hands on appointments in our home, tailored to us where he got to learn about maternal health, how to support /affirm your partner during pregnancy—and he delivered our baby alongside Midwife Kim, confident with her guidance. Not only did Midwife Kim-deliver an outstanding beside manner, traveling to and from our home for detailed, hands on visits where we discussed healthy habits for the type of birth we have in mind, birthing options, birthing challenges etc but she also saved my life. Following my peaceful, serene water birth at our home-a 12 hour labor, I encountered an unforeseen medical emergency where Midwife Kim stood 10 toes down to ensure that I made it through. She acted swiftly to cover the basics and make sure I was comfortable, ensured our baby was well and then made a call to 911. Here is where her policy came into place-we can’t have a baby unless we can get you to hospital quickly if something happens. And it did. Her actions while awaiting the ambulance saved me from bleeding out, panicking and going into shock. It didn’t end there, her team cared for my family while I was away being cared for at the hospital post birth. She stayed with me through an uneasy procedure and became my advocate. I would not be here if it were not for the fierce compassion and the wisdom of Midwife Kimberly. I am grateful for her work and the knowledge she fed me as a mother and the ways she supported me post birth and into my postpartum period. She is a true pioneer in the birthing world and if you are medically able to-this is an experience you’ll definitely want to have.

Alejandra Latorre

I believe birth is a sacred, God-given gift—a natural, physiological process that reflects the original design of women and babies: women are capable of giving birth, and babies know how to be born. My name is Monica Alejandra Latorre, and I am deeply passionate about women’s wellness, birth, and motherhood. As a traditional, faith-based birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, newborn care specialist, and fertility awareness educator, I bring over nine years of experience walking alongside women and families through life’s most tender transitions. My vocation is to mother the mother: supporting women as they reconnect with their innate feminine wisdom, dignity, and God-given strength. I believe birth is a holy rite of passage, and it is a profound honor to serve women and their families in these sacred spaces. With deep reverence, I offer my presence, guidance, and resources so that each mother feels supported, informed, and confident as she moves through her unique journey. It is a privilege to be invited into a mother’s birth story, to hold space with tenderness, and to walk alongside her through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My deepest hope is that every mother I serve finds her voice, trusts her intuition, and feels deeply connected to her body, her birth, and her baby.

Alejandra is fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable, kind, and warm. She was the perfect person to guide my husband and I during such an important and intimate chapter of our lives. Bilingual and didnt skip a beat. She knew the hospital, our OB, and got along great with the nurses - she was the perfect liaison for when we needed one. It was important for me to have someone of the Catholic faith guide me during such a life chaning moment and she was exactly what I was looking for. After interviewing over 15 Doulas, I knew Alejandra was the one the minute we finished our initial consultation. She exceeded our expectations and overdelivered. I most certainly will be using her services again for our next baby!

My name is Brittany Bollinger and I am a holistic birth and postpartum doula, and intuitive pediatric sleep coach. With 14 years of professional experience, I feel privileged to guide and educate new parents. My philosophies are gentle based, centralized in giving children the comfort, confidence, and respect they need to outgrow old techniques and hit developmental milestones.

Recent review

My husband and I were so lucky to have been supported by Brittany along with another doula as we prepared for the birth of our baby boy. She was an invaluable source of knowledge, encouragement, and support at a time when everything felt unknown and new. We had a really helpful prenatal check-in at our home, where she evaluated and gave some great advice for our baby’s sleeping space. When I was in labor, Brittany was there with us at the hospital to help assist the whole night through delivery. She brought warmth, humor, and helped create a peaceful ambiance in the room. Then, a few weeks after delivery, she came back to our home to check on us, and oh my goodness what a godsend that visit was! In her gentle and direct way, she kindly gave us some sleep coaching advice and helped us create some much-needed structure and routine. We credit her with helping us get on the path to great sleep for our baby. (He started sleeping the entire night by 11 weeks!) We had such a great experience with Brittany the entire way through. Many thanks.

Brooke Sternberg

👋🏼 Welcome. So, you want to learn more about me, my energy, and the services I offer. My journey into birth work has been a long, winding path with many twists and turns. I My formal education was in designing therapeutic environments for children’s hospitals, studying how physical spaces impact healing, safety, and the nervous system. Over time, that work led me somewhere deeper, into the thresholds of birth, death and rebirth. Today, I am in private practice, Aspired Mother, where I offer birth and mother-centered postpartum care services rooted in both modern understanding and time-honored maternal care traditions. For birth preparation, my focus is on strengthening the mind-body connection so you can access efficient, instinctive movement and nervous system regulation during labor. Birth is not something we force, it’s something the body remembers when it feels safe and supported. Through somatic awareness, alignment, and practical preparation, I help you build confidence in your body’s innate design. For postpartum, my Ayurvedic approach extends the midwifery model beyond birth, protecting your long-term recovery and wellbeing. The early weeks after delivery are not just about surviving, they are foundational to your hormonal balance, energy, and emotional health for years to come. Through nourishment, warmth, rest, and hands-on support, I stabilize and restore you at your core. I also facilitate meaningful gatherings and transition support, such as Mother Blessings, Closing of the Bones and postpartum integration sessions , for women who wish to honor this threshold in a grounded and personal way. At the heart of my philosophy is this: Childbirth is not simply medical event. It is a formative life experience. And when a mother is deeply prepared, supported, and protected, the entire family benefits. So, whether you are planning a home birth, birth center experience, or hospital delivery, I believe in shared decision-making, informed choices, and honoring your autonomy every step of the way. I’m here to support you , not to lead you. Not to override you, but to walk beside you. 💛

Doula Brooke, I can truly say that my birth experience was better for having you in it. Until next time, sister 🫶🏼

I highly recommend Esther and her company. She exceeds expectations. She was compassionate, kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. Childbirth is a highly personal and important part of your life. Esther was right there for the family to support this precious journey. She was always available and connected us to others in the community, which was helpful. Fun facts 1. She graduated top of her class at a rigorous pre-medical program in high school 2. She also attend University of Miami on a scholarship 3. She is a mother of 4 very healthy boys 4. She speaks multiple languages 5. She has connections all throughout Miami Dade, which is helpful for a new mom 6. She's not just available before and during birth, she is available AFTER birth as well. 7. She has connections to midwives, physicians, and community leaders 8. She will support you throughout the entire birthing process. This is critical. 9. She is highly communicative - if you message her, you will get a response 10. She has a deep understanding of the human body given her background as a UM grad and high school medical program. She is a sweet and kind person as well. Her work has been featured throughout the country, and she is considered an expert in her field. She mentors other doulas and is a successful business woman, but she will still make you feel like a priority despite her busy schedule. You will never feel like a number. In your most intimate moment of life, you want someone who is there for you. Your child is your most important asset, do not leave it to chance. As I close this, I want to mention that Esther understands breastfeeding. Breastfeeding and pumping takes intention, strategy, and planning. Having a doula who is also a breastfeeding expert is extremely helpful and saves money down the line (no formula if that's your desire). As someone who is extremely discerning about services, I whole heartedly recommend Esther and you won't be disappointed.

Hi! I'm Gabriella, and I’m passionate about supporting women and families through their fertility, pregnancy, labor, and motherhood journeys. My path to becoming a doula began in 2014 after my own empowering birth experience with my first child. Inspired, I became a certified childbirth educator through the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth and discovered my deep passion for women’s health and well-being. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to support families in various ways—whether teaching childbirth education, offering lactation consulting, or even serving as a virtual doula in moments of need. My own birth experiences have shaped my practice. From a beautiful birth center delivery to navigating an unexpected emergency C-section, and finally achieving my VBAC home birth, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my work. These experiences have fueled my commitment to empowering families with knowledge, confidence, and holistic care. At the end of 2023, I made the decision to leave my corporate career to pursue my dream full-time. I am currently trained through DONA International, a globally respected organization, and offer compassionate, intuitive support focused on mental, physical, and nutritional health. My approach is holistic and tailored to each family’s unique needs, ensuring that partners feel confident and supported throughout the journey. I am so excited to walk alongside you and help you achieve the birth experience you desire. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or your fourth, I look forward to being part of your story!

The best thing I can say about Gabriella is she made me feel safe and supported throughout my pregnancy and labor and delivery. She carries a peace and calm that helped me look back on my birth experience as a peaceful and safe one. It was also such a comfort having her to be in contact with throughout the hours of early labor because I had no idea if I was truly in labor or not. Also importantly, she knows her stuff! She came along side me in support of my natural birth. I highly recommend getting Gabriella as your birth doula 💕😊 She was a blessing, and were honored that she will forever be apart of our birth experience!

My care adapts to your needs; whatever you want your birth and postpartum journey to look like, I’m there to walk beside you.

Инара- приятный в общении человек и хороший специалист своего дела. С первой минуты знакомства с ней было максимально комфортно общаться. Она уточняла как я хочу чтоб прошли роды, какую музыку хочу и даже какие аромасвечи, то, о чем я даже и не задумывалась, но это добавило комфорта и спокойствия в процессе родов. У Инары с собой был целый чемодан всевозможных атрибутов, помогающих расслабиться и снять боль во время схваток. Также она помогала проживать схватки, делая массаж поясницы, объясняла как правильно дышать и что делать во время потуг, помогла правильно приложить малыша к груди и сделала фото и видео процесса родов, по моей просьбе. Когда начались схватки, Инара приехала за мной, и подъехав к госпиталю мне показалось, что схватки были ложными. Тогда мы решили поехать на пляж, сделать пару упражнений и прогуляться, чтоб понять реально ли нам пора в госпиталь, или это ложная тревога. Это был незабываемый вечер на пляже перед родами и потом отличная поддержка во время родов, что бесценно! Особенно, когда ты в чужой стране с не самым лучшим знанием языка, такая поддержка необходима, очень рада, что в такой важный момент Инара была со мной.

Hello , My name is Mydarline Empress’ and I have had 8 children of my own (non-medicated natural birth , home water birth & Caesarean C-section asleep and awake ). I will be available for assisting in home births with a midwife present, hospital births, and birthing center. As a doula, my deepest motivation is to support birthing parents emotionally, physically, and informationally during one of the most transformative moments of their lives.

Empress was a phenomenal doula. I had never had a doula before so I was quite nervous but curious. When she reached out I debated and finally decided why not try it. She has been giving me great advice when it comes to breastfeeding and pumping. She was a good distraction from the anxiety of my birthing experience. She responded promptly and goes above and beyond for her clients. I am very blessed to have her in my life.

Hi, I’m Catherine! 🤍 I’m a mom to four boys, a birth doula, and a birth photographer. My passion for birth really began after my first homebirth. It was the first time I truly felt empowered, informed, and connected to my own strength throughout the birth process—and it completely changed the way I saw birth. I owe it all to choosing the right birth team! That experience sparked a desire in me to help other women experience that same sense of confidence and empowerment, no matter where or how they choose to birth. I believe our bodies were created with an incredible ability to give birth, but I also believe we were never meant to do it alone. I’m here to hold your hand, remind you of how strong you are, help you navigate the unknown, and celebrate with you when you finally get to meet your baby. The way I serve my clients is best described as being your “birth bestie” or “birth sister.” I want to truly know you—your hopes, your dreams, your fears, your past experiences, and what makes you feel safe and supported—because the better I know you, the better I can support you. Throughout pregnancy, I offer a listening ear, a calm presence, encouragement, and a safe space to talk through all the “tmi” things on your mind. And when birth arrives, I’ll be right there beside you, offering steady hands, reassurance, comfort, and support for both you and your partner. As a birth photographer, I also have the privilege of preserving the beautiful, raw, emotional moments that can feel like a blur afterward—the hands holding yours, your partner’s face, the anticipation, the tears, and those first moments with your baby. Your birth is a story worth remembering. I would be so honored to walk alongside you and be part of such a sacred chapter in your story. So… if this sounds like the kind of support you’ve been looking for, let’s grab coffee and chat about all the birth-y things! ☕️
