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.

Amanda was amazing. When my labor stalled out she knew just what to do. She created a spa like experience for me to relax and within 45 minute I gave birth. Even the nurses were impressed with all of her support and gadgets. In the end it was just her and the student nurse who were there during the birth. The RN ran in to catch the baby (the doctor didn't make it in time). Amanda coached me throughout and kept me grounded and relaxed. As a nurse myself I highly recommend her. Another example of her awesomeness is that I didn't want the full dose of pitocin to be induced (per their protocol) as I knew I could get hypertonic uterus as I had at my first birth. So we VERY gradually used it to help get my body started, and it worked! She was very patient and supported my decisions throughout. I couldn't have asked for better. Thank you again Amanda!! I would definitely use you again if I were still local and intended on having more kids :)

Hi! I'm Katherine Clare, a local birth doula and breastfeeding counselor serving Jacksonville, FL and the surrounding area. Being a doula is an absolute joy for me. It's my passion as a birth doula that your wishes are heard and honored during labor and birth. Whatever your walk or desires are for birth, know that it matters, YOU matter mama, and how your space is honored during birth matters.

Choosing Katherine as my doula was one of the best choices I made in my last pregnancy. It was a little late in the game and from the start she jumped right in to help me. I wanted a very different birth from the experience I’d had with my first baby. With Katherine’s help that is exactly what I had, a completely different and wonderful birth experience. She was instantly my safe place of zero judgement and a vast wealth of information. I have and will always hold space in my heart for Katherine as her constant encouragement, support, and understanding were priceless to me in bringing my sweet boy into the world.

My name is Kimberley Homer, and I am a dedicated 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.

MJ at Sacral Bloom is truly incredible! They are such an amazing doula who supported me with the most thoughtful, grounding care throughout my entire pregnancy. From the very beginning, I always felt seen, supported, and genuinely cared for. I also took prenatal yoga with MJ, and it made such a difference — my body felt strong, comfortable, and so much better, especially in the later days of pregnancy. MJ’s energy, knowledge, and compassion are unmatched. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide during this journey. Highly recommend MJ to any expecting parent!

My name is Gabrielle and I’m from Central Florida . I started this journey of birth world years ago when I gave birth to my son. As the years passed the birth world just stood out to me little by little. Becoming a Doula was something that I thought about but after witnessing my first birth with a family member that is where it sparked the fire . I attended a Dona training and other trainings that helped me get certified as a doula and with placenta encapsulation. I have also birth assisted for a few years with local midwives . I continue to grow with every birth that I have been blessed to be a part of . It brings me joy to know i can help the birth world one person at a time.

Hello there! My name is Rachel Sultzer and I am a Certified Lactation Counselor, Certified Breastfeeding Educator and Certied Postpartum and Infant Care Doula located in Jacksonville, Florida. My passion for child and family care stems from my start as a childcare provider over twenty (20) years ago. Most recently my role as full time nanny quickly reaffirmed my strength in not only caring for infants and small children, but providing comprehensive family support - especially to new and nursing mothers. After serving as a volunteer “Infant Cuddler” for at-risk infants at the UF Shands neonatal intensive care unit, my dedication to helping children was deepened even more. After watching one of my mamas struggle with breastfeeding and experience first hand the the lack of support and education from the community of people surrounding her, I knew I wanted to do more to help; I had to do more. In July 2017 I received my Lactation Counselor Certification from Healthy Children Project Inc., Center for Breastfeeding. Under the guidance and mentor-ship of Kelly Googe, with Womb to World Doula Services, I have been able to work with lots of mamas in the Jacksonville area. As a Certified Lactation Counselor and Certified Breastfeeding Educator my mission is to educate the public on the importance of breastfeeding; to encourage and empower women to make decisions that work for them and to provide guidance and support during a such a delicate but amazing time in a mama’s life. My motto will always be a happy and healthy mama will always equal a happy and healthy family! As a caregiver I have seen so many families struggle during the fourth (4th) trimester, defined as the first twelve (12) weeks after birth, and even beyond. As a Cerified Postpartum and Infant Care Doula and a Certified Lactation Counselor I strive to enable your family to find confidence by providing everyone with non-judgmental unwavering support, evidence based education and most importantly listening ears. My goal is to validate concerns, provide solutions, and offer guidance based on your family’s needs. I want all of my families to feel supported during the fourth (4th) trimester and beyond. Adding a new little one to the mix can be as equally rewarding and challenging. Let me be there to guide and support you through your new normal! My role is not limited to just mamas and their babies; I am also there to aid the entire family with this new and exciting transition.

Hi, I’m the heart behind this calling I’m a Doula who believes birth is a beautiful journey designed by Elohim. My mission is to support and encourage mothers so they feel peaceful, educated, confident, and empowered throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Serving families during such a sacred moment is truly an honor, and I’m grateful to walk alongside mothers as they welcome their babies into the world.

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!
