I have lived in Florida all my life. My happy place is by the ocean listening to the waves. I am married to my college sweetheart and we have 3 beautiful, wild boys. I became fascinated by the magic and mechanics of birth during my first pregnancy in 2013. I had an emergency c-section followed by medicated and unmedicated vaginal births in 2016 and 2019. For all three, I had the same doula by my side sharing her 30+ years of wisdom. In 2023, I formalized my training and certifications and have been focusing on doula work full-time. Aside from parenting my sons, it is my biggest privilege and joy to serve mothers in this vulnerable time, and I look forward to knowing and serving you during your journey. I strongly believe it is the right of the birthing person to choose whatever path is right for them. Every body, baby and pregnancy is different. If you choose me to be by your side, my promise is to help you and your partner bring that vision to life. Knowing birth can be unpredictable, I will do everything I can to ensure you feel safe, loved, empowered and strong every step of the way. I would love to talk with you about your wishes for your birth. Get in touch with me today to set up a free consultation.

I cannot recommend Amanda enough! From the very beginning, she was incredibly nurturing, comforting, and supportive. She made me feel heard, reassured, and cared for throughout the entire experience. Her calm presence brought so much comfort during every stage of the process. She always knew just what to say or do to help me feel at ease, and her encouragement gave me confidence when I needed it most. Knowing she was by my side made the entire experience feel less overwhelming and so much more positive. If you're looking for a doula who genuinely cares about her clients, provides unwavering support, and will be your biggest advocate, I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda. I am so grateful to have had her by my side and couldn't imagine my birth experience without her.

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.

I am a very picky person and am stubborn when it comes to what I want. And I knew from the moment I fell pregnant that I not only wanted a doula, but needed one. I spoke to several doula's who I liked, but when I spoke to Bianca...I loved her! From the first moment we spoke we clicked and she made me feel safe in a way no one else had so far. She was there for me day one, and has continued to support me and my bun in the oven since taking my family on! She's caring, kind, compassionate and has a desire to help any and all, and most importantly to me, she hears me, and sees me. I have had so many traumatic experiences with doctors who have bulldozed over me, and acted as though they knew best, and I was terrified that my first birthing experience would be much of the same. But Bianca has given me the peace of mind and the courage to pursue a hospital birth, and I'm confident she will be there to guide me, help me, and advocate for me. I would never dream of using anyone else but her, and I look forward to using her again in the coming years. In her I have found an advocate, a friend, and a companion, and I'm no longer anxious. Thank you, Bianca! From my growing family, to your amazing family! Thank you!
