The cost of a midwife in Fort Lauderdale, FL can be influenced by several factors:

  • Type of Midwife

    Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) who work in hospital settings may have different pricing than Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) who attend home births or birth center deliveries.

  • Birth Setting

    Hospital births with a midwife typically cost less out-of-pocket when covered by insurance, while home births and birth center deliveries may have different fee structures.

  • Scope of Services

    Many midwives offer comprehensive packages that include prenatal visits, labor and delivery support, and postpartum care, which can affect the overall cost.

  • Insurance Coverage

    Whether insurance covers the cost of a midwife in Fort Lauderdale, FL, depends on your specific insurance plan and the type of care provided. Many insurance plans, including some Medicaid programs, cover midwifery services, especially if the midwife is licensed and works within a hospital or birthing center. However, insurance may not fully cover services provided by independent or home-birth midwives unless they are in-network with your insurance provider. It's important to contact your insurance company directly to confirm coverage details, including in-network providers, co-pays, and deductibles, to avoid unexpected costs.

  • Experience and Specialization

    Midwives with extensive experience, additional certifications, or specializations such as VBAC support or water birth may charge higher rates.

  • Geographic Location

    Midwifery costs can vary based on the cost of living and demand for midwifery services in your specific area.

When considering hiring a midwife in Fort Lauderdale, FL, it's advisable to research and interview several midwives to find one who aligns with your birth plan, preferences, and budget. During consultations, you can discuss their specific services, insurance acceptance, and pricing structure to ensure you have a clear understanding of what is included and the associated costs.

Greetings! My name is Amber, I am a 45 year old mother of 6 children ages 7-27. I have been a doula for over 8 years and have supported many types of births, in many different places. I am a kind, gentle, and nurturing human that loves to bring peace, order and empowerment to women and families. I have skills and experience in supporting a healthy pregnancy, birth and post partum experience. I am an efficient organizer for the home as well. If there is a partner that is needing knowledge to be supportive in their new role, I am skilled at effectively communicating and quickly understanding needs as well. I have a vast knowledge base, field of experience and also strive to respect values without judgement. I am also a peace of mind parenting coach for when challenges arise, I have that under my belt as well. If siblings or relatives are in the picture as well, I am amazing at gently placing boundaries for parents peace, while honoring the emotions of others. My most recent family that i supported called me Fairy Godmother :)! If you are needing to feel peace, ease and empowered, I am your person!

I can't explain how much having amber as my postpartum doula completely changed my postpartum experience (and my family's ). With my second child we decided to get a postpartum doula because after my first child I had a really difficult time. We now call her our angel. She anticipated what me and my family needed. Offering without imposing. Helping with anything we needed and more. Everyone in my family loves her and she became like part of our family. I can't recommend her enough. She's knowledgeable and kind. I trust her so much and I can't thank her enough.

Hi everyone! My name is Grey Graham, and I am a Certified Postpartum and Birth Doula, as well as a Certified Breastfeeding Counselor. Currently, I service South Florida (primarily), but I am open to traveling to North Florida, as well as any neighboring states. In my honest opinion, I think children are a precious gem, they are Gods gift to us here on Earth. They're just so sweet and actually quite fun to be around, I believe that they are the future and we can learn more from them then we think. I also love to see people happy and enjoying the life we've been blessed with. I decided to become a doula become after constantly stumbling across people with fears/ bad stories about giving birth and having children. I saw that people were afraid of having an actual baby, anxious that they'd be abandoned in the delivery room, and nervous about how to take care of them after. I've heard moms break down thinking they're not doing enough and failing their infant. That's where I come in. My ideal practice is to give judgment free help families adapt to bringing their baby home, understand any concerns they have, and hopefully aid them into becoming able to enjoy this milestone of their life.

Hi, I’m Rose 🌸 I’m DONA Certified Birth Doula, and I’m passionate about helping mothers feel safe, supported, informed, and empowered throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I have an extensive background in healthcare as a registered nurse and I believe every mother deserves compassionate care, a calm presence, and someone in her corner during one of life’s most beautiful journeys. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or birth center, my goal is to walk beside you and support you every step of the way. You do not have to do this alone. I would be honored to support you and your family.

We cannot recommend Doula Rose enough! We found her through a local moms group, and from the very beginning, she was absolutely wonderful. She was always available when we had questions or needed support, and she came to both our prenatal and postpartum visits, which made us feel so prepared and cared for throughout the entire process. When we went into labor, Rose was already on her way to be there with us. She truly filled in all the gaps and became such an important part of the experience. Whether you have a specific birth plan in mind or are still figuring out what kind of labor you want, she is incredibly accommodating and meets you exactly where you are. Her knowledge, support, calm presence, and willingness to adapt made such a difference for us. We are so grateful we found her and would recommend her to any expecting parents looking for a doula! We’re also happy to be a reference for her for any prospecting parent.

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 was amazing and such an essential part of me getting to know this beautiful extraordinary process that is bringing life to this earth through my body. Thank you so much for making me understand the beauty of birth. In a world full of fears and doubts. This is the most natural human process God designed us women to go through. Thanks again for being so attentive during the prenatal process and postnatal as well.

I cannot recommend Inara Arauz enough! From the moment she became part of our journey, she brought so much warmth, compassion, and reassurance during both my birth and postpartum experience. As my birth doula, Inara was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and calming. She helped me feel informed, empowered, and cared for every step of the way. Her presence made such a meaningful difference during one of the most important moments of my life. As my postpartum doula, Inara continued to go above and beyond. She was so sweet, kind, and unbelievably patient with my baby girl. Watching the love and gentle care she showed my daughter gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to rest knowing she was in the very best hands. She also offered encouragement, guidance, and support when I needed it most as a new mom. I also want to give a special thank you to Laila, who cared for us as my postpartum doula on several nights. She was equally kind, compassionate, and attentive, and I always felt confident leaving my baby girl in her care. Her calm presence and genuine love for babies made those nights so much easier for our family. Both Inara and Laila have hearts of gold, and I am forever grateful for everything they did for our family. If you’re looking for a birth or postpartum doula who is experienced, caring, and truly passionate about what they do, I wholeheartedly recommend them. They made such a positive impact on our lives, and we will always cherish the support they gave us during this special time.

Hi, I'm Genesis, a bilingual DONA trained birth doula serving families throughout Miami-Dade and Broward County. My journey into birth work began after becoming a mother myself and discovering just how powerful the right support can be during pregnancy and birth. That experience inspired me to help other families feel informed, confident, and supported as they prepare to welcome their babies. I believe there is no one "right" way to give birth. Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, an epidural, an induction, a VBAC, or a cesarean birth, you deserve evidence-based information, compassionate support, and a care team that respects your choices. As your doula, my goal is to help you feel prepared, supported, and empowered every step of the way. I provide emotional support, comfort measures, birth education, and continuous labor support so you never have to navigate the journey alone. When I'm not supporting families, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband and daughter, creating educational content for expectant parents, or building a community where families can feel seen, heard, and supported. I'd be honored to be part of your birth story.

Recent review

We had such a great experience with her as our doula. She made the hospital room feel so much warmer and more relaxing with the lighting and music, and her support throughout labor was exactly what we needed. But definitely my favorite parts is that she also captured beautiful photos of such a special day without taking away from the moment. I’m so thankful to have those memories and would absolutely recommend her.

We had a harder than expected go during our first child with multiple sleepless nights and really wanted to have a better support framework for our second. Having Wendy as our nighttime doula was an amazing experience. She started a few days after our daughter was born and was crucial support for the first two months. Having her allowed my wife to make a faster recovery post birth and have her enjoy the baby a lot more. She is very professional, responsible, punctual and knowledgeable. After the first day which is always scary, we felt incredibly comfortable with her being with our baby. We highly recommend her. It made the newborn phase a lot of a better experience and my wife and I were both way more functioning and present for our little one. Being able to have the nights to fully rest is priceless and makes everything about life significantly better.

Heidi was absolutely amazing! From our first meeting to the birth, she was incredible helpful and knowledgeable. She provided us with so many helpful tools to get us through the birth and supported us every step of the way. She never made us feel rushed and always gave special attention to our older daughter. She was so great with her which was so helpful! She never overstepped any boundaries and was always there when we needed her. I am beyond grateful that we had Heidi as part of our team for Lily's birth! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.
