Haley has been such an incredible part of both of my birth experiences, and I truly cannot imagine going through pregnancy and childbirth without her. She was my doula for my daughter two years ago and did such an amazing job that there was never a question that I wanted her by my side again for my most recent pregnancy and birth. Throughout my pregnancy, Haley was always available to answer my questions and ease my worries whenever anxiety set in. She showed up for what felt like a million false alarms and patiently supported me through two weeks of prodromal labor. She was there through every uncertain moment without ever making me feel like a burden or inconvenience. She even managed to capture my maternity photos right before a thunderstorm! When the time finally came to have our baby, things became very intense very quickly. I experienced a tough and incredibly fast labor and delivery, with both babies’ heart rates dropping and complications occurring during the birth. Haley was an amazing source of support throughout everything. After I experienced a postpartum hemorrhage, Haley and her backup doula, Savannah, continued caring not only for me but also for my husband and son while everything was happening. Her care didn’t stop after delivery. Haley captured beautiful Fresh 48 and hospital sibling photos, provided care for my daughter while I recovered before being discharged, and later took newborn and sibling photos that we will cherish forever. She also recently updated our family photos, with a special focus on capturing how much our family has grown and giving us the opportunity to look back and remember the journey that brought us here. Haley is so much more than a doula and photographer, she has become such a meaningful part of our family’s story. From supporting me through two pregnancies and births to capturing some of the most important and emotional moments of our lives, she has been there through it all. I will forever be grateful for her compassion, patience, support, and the beautiful memories she has given our family. I truly cannot recommend Haley enough. 💕

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.

Let me start by saying, I had no idea I even needed a doula until I met Katharine! I truly cannot define her job for you. I just don't have the words. What I do know is, Katharine listened to what I needed, took care of me and saw me through until the very end. Pregnancy and labor are both passage ways to becoming something beyond your current self. For this life transition, you're going to want Katharine! Katharine's overall presence and guidance throughout my entire pregnancy was infinitely the best thing for me, my fiancé and my baby girl! I wish she was still in LA because i’d get pregnant right now to have her with me. We love you, mama. You are everything and more!
