Katrina Hollon Midwife in Safety Harbor, FL

If you are considering prenatal care with a midwife and a home birth (or even not sure if you are), do yourself the biggest favor and reach out to Katrina Hollon. I always knew I wanted a low-intervention pregnancy and birth, but as a first time mom and Physician Assistant, I had some concerns about birthing at home. After speaking with Katrina when I was 6 week pregnant, she immediately calmed my anxieties and I knew this was the prenatal and birth plan I wanted. It was truly the best decision I could have made. Pregnancy and birth, especially for a first time mom, can be very scary and having a midwife who spent the necessary time with me every visit was invaluable. I was never rushed through an appointment and always saw Katrina, allowing us to build a relationship and comfort before the birth. She made me feel so safe and cared for throughout the entire experience. I had such a positive pregnancy and birth, which I can mainly contribute to being under Katrina’s care. I cannot recommend Katrina enough and would choose her again and again without hesitation!

I recently experienced a home birth with Katrina as my midwife. This was my 2nd birth and 1st home birth. I cannot express in words how amazing the experience was! Katrina was incredible throughout the entire process from the first prenatal appointment to my final follow-op postpartum. She was kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. I would recommend Katrina to anyone considering a home birth!

— Heather Gingerich

Working with Katrina has truly been a blessing from the Lord! Her prenatal and postnatal care reflects just how deeply she cares for the moms she supports. Throughout my time with her, she communicated with compassion and clarity—always offering thoughtful answers and excellent recommendations when I needed additional resources. Because of Katrina, I was able to have the birth experience I had always dreamed of. She brought peace, calm, and her strong faith into my birth space, which made all the difference. Katrina has the biggest heart, and I honestly can’t imagine going through future pregnancies without her. I look forward to having many more children under her care because saying goodbye to such a wonderful person just doesn’t feel possible.

My wife and I recently had our second baby (home birth) with the help of Katrina. We transitioned from our first which we had through the hospital system which convinced us to have a c-section. After our first baby we vowed to avoid the hospital at all costs. From our experience, the mainstream doctors and nurses use high pressure tactics to lead you into doing what they want. Speaking to other families and listening to their experiences were very similar, it seemed they were all pressured into getting c-sections. It makes sense from the doctor's point of view, that c-sections provide the least liability to them since they are in complete control of the delivery. Why would a hospital doctor/surgeon want a random schedule, not knowing when they would need to deliver a baby? Besides this, whenever we questioned the doctors if there was some unnecessary test or inspection, we were met with pushback, they wouldn't take no for an answer unless we were stern with them. Looking back at it, the doctors were always ready to tell us the risks associated with denying some of their services, but were never really transparent with the risks associated with their recommendations. The difference between Katrina and the hospital system is night and day. The home birth experience from my point of view was very calming the whole way through, which is what set our baby up to have good sleep patterns. We plan to call on Katrina to deliver our next ones, and we definitely recommend her to anyone who may be open to a home birth. Thank you Katrina.

Honestly can’t believe I haven’t posted a review yet! My first is now over a year, expecting my second, and am thrilled to get to work with Katrina again! Kind, caring, sweet — she’s the most supportive person I could ever ask for. She gives so much of herself and her time to make sure mommas are truly comfortable and feel safe, something all first time moms desperately need! Will update with more glowing praise after my second delivery. :)

— Sarah Wright

Katrina was a Godsend! After having an unplanned c section and a hospital vbac with my two previous births, I knew I wanted the natural home birth I always dreamed of for my third. Katrina eased my fears and gave me the encouragement and confidence I needed to make my dream a reality. My birth was everything I hoped for! With Katrina as your midwife you are not just another number like you are in traditional practices. She takes the time to truly get to know who you are as a person and your needs and desires during pregnancy/labor. I felt seen and heard every appointment. I am so grateful God directed my path to find Katrina as my midwife.

— Faith Bernard

I wish every woman had access to the level of care Katrina Hollon provides. Katrina helped me every step of my pregnancy. When complications arose she referred me to USF. Her presence is comforting and every prenatal visit leaves you feeling heard and cared for. Every fear or question is met with empathy. She provides you with options so you can make an informed decision. My daughter was welcomed at prenatal visits and included. She eased my husband’s concerns about a home birth. My delivery could have easily turned into an emergency situation but Katrina’s calm presence and expertise kept my son and I safe. We will be forever thankful for her! The postpartum care has been phenomenal- I feel so cared for physically and emotionally. Katrina’s book recommendations helped me prepare for labor and postpartum. Her 15+ years of experience gave me comfort and she is always citing current research. I felt confident in her abilities to care for me and my child. I was so thankful for her holistic approach which left me with an amazing birthing experience. She is living out her call as a midwife. Our family will always hold a special place in our heart for Katrina Hollon!

— Haemin Lee

Katrina is incredible! So blessed to have found her. She is a wealth of knowledge and always there if you need her. Could not have asked for better care and such a beautiful home birth experience! I am happy to call her a friend now and will gladly recommend her to anyone seeking a joyful home birth :)

— Deena

I am so happy to have found Katrina for my first birth! She was amazing throughout my whole pregnancy and the delivery was even more amazing. Katrina is very knowledgeable, calm, comforting, kind, and caring. My husband and I grew to love her as a great friend by the time our baby came. It’s like we’ve known her for years! She answered all my questions throughout pregnancy and she calmed any concerns I had when initially deciding to do a home birth. I am so happy we decided to do a home birth with Katrina as our midwife. Her calm and knowledgeable presence put me at ease pretty much my entire pregnancy, and we had a very calm and relaxed delivery. Being at home made the delivery even more special as we could stay at our home and enjoy time with our newborn. Katrina and her assistant were awesome in helping coaching me during labor, getting me the things I needed, and making sure me and my baby were safe. I’ve heard so many horror stories of hospital births and my experience was so opposite having Katrina deliver my baby at home. We are so thankful for her and can’t wait to have her back for our next babies! I’d highly recommend a home birth and using Katrina as your midwife for a relaxed and special delivery as your newborn enters the world!

— Kiki Wiley

Katrina truly is amazing at what she does. She is extremely caring and patient. She will answer any questions you may ask and calm any fears you may have. She is not only compassionate, but extremely knowledgeable. She is dedicated to providing a safe and empowering birth for her mamas. I always felt confident and calm during the birth process. Birthing my daughter at home was a life changing experience for my husband and me and we could never thank Katrina enough for her service!

— Anna Lee Gibbs

Katrina is truly amazing- my only regret is that I didn’t find her before I had my first 2 children! After 2 birth center births, I decided to have a home birth with my third child. The entire experience with Katrina was amazing. She was so detailed throughout my prenatal care visits and I felt so prepared for my home birth thanks to her. My birth was everything I wanted it to be, I felt so safe in Katrina’s care. I’m forever thankful to her!

— Carli Himelman

Katrina is a truly beautiful soul. I’m a first time mom and she was everything I could have ever dreamed of in a midwife. She is kind and cares about your mental state as well as physical health. She is SO knowledgeable and answered all of my MANY questions without frustration. Her patience and true desire to make me and my husband feel cared for and prepared was surprising and amazing in a healthcare provider. Her calming and confident presence during the pregnancy, all the way through labor and delivery at our home, and postpartum, was exactly what I needed. I wish I had better words, just do not hesitate to make Katrina your midwife!!

— Kerri Adams

Katrina was my midwife for baby # 2 and baby #3. I would highly recommend anyone wanting a home birth to get Katrina as their midwife. Katrina is calm, compassionate, professional and knowledgeable. Whenever I had questions or concerns Katrina knew exactly what to say or do. I always felt I was in very competent hands. Both deliveries were very smooth and went as we had planned and I am so happy I decided to do home births for my girls. I feel like Katrina became part of our family and I always recommend her to my mom friends who are expecting because of the wonderful experience we had! Thanks Katrina!

— Patricia Paolo

It sounds like I'm going to be exaggerating but I could write 10,000 words on how great Katrina was throughout our time together. My wife and I were expecting our first child and like most people didn't have a single clue where to start. Katrina was incredible from the first day we met her all the way through until the post-partum check ups and more. There's nobody else I'd think twice about using as a midwife and anyone considering her would be doing themselves an enormous favor by bringing her on board!

— Brett Tartarkin

I would give Katrina 100 stars if I could. First Time mom - and I cannot express how taken care of and the level of care and attention she takes at each appointment. She also made my husband feel so included and answered any and all of his questions. She never rushed us or made us feel silly. Her level of knowledge and education goes well beyond midwifery and id consider a huge benefit. She has a very calm and peaceful presence. I searched all over for a midwife - I found Katrina through word of mouth and we are so glad we did. Katrina quickly became a part of our family and we hold her close in our hearts.

— Chelsey Finke

I experienced my first home birth with Katrina as my midwife and it was everything I hoped for. Katrina was so very personal, and compassionate through my pregnancy and I felt safe and respected during my birth. I’m so very thankful I chose Katrina for such a life changing event.

— Marielle Sanchez

Best of the best and we have had four natural births. 3 of which were at birthing centers then my fourth and BEST pregnancy experience with a midwife was with Katrina! I had been referred to her by a friend and really just thought let’s do this because my dream was to have a home birth because of the comfort of my own home and having three littles it was just sounding better and easier for our family. Katrina came with the most respectable manner towards her profession. Experienced, educational, professional, kind, caring to a degree you would want someone with delivering innocence into the world that’s Katrina. I never once thought she would not do what she needed to do to help me as I felt she would do whatever it took to help me and my baby. The bond with her was just strong and wise and I just needed her, I really did and she didn’t let me down spiritually or physically. Our family enjoyed the visits as much as I did being the expecting mother. Doing labs were simple and quick and reassuring as I do hate labs. The laughing and memories I will embrace for the rest of my life as I found every single thing I wanted to experience with Katrina as my midwife. She was prepared and in control, hands on, focused and so helpful. Any phone call or text we got answers fast even as fourth time of being an expecting family yes we still needed the help and she just was present for our needs. I really am thrilled to share my experience with Katrina as finding a gentle soul to help with a birth at home is a magical moment in life to share with the right people and i feel truly honored to have had this amazing woman by our side with her assistant as well. Post partum she has been here for me every step of the way and came to our home if she needed no questions asked! Thank you Katrina my family has the utmost respect for you and your career choice as it is truly a blessing to have worked with you embracing new life coming into the world. I’d never have another midwife absolutely loved every single moment we got to share with our pregnancy with you!! Wishing you many many blessings in your career as I feel everyone needs you to by their side for this great moment to come!

— Kyrie Fitzgerald

Katrina is honestly the ultimate midwife. She is so caring and loving and supportive and I could not have felt more comfortable being cared for by her. The postpartum care is also incredible, and she really does everything with a kind and maternal touch. I could not rave about her more! 1000000/10

— Ninalauren Ramos

We are forever grateful for finding Katrina as our midwife. For our first birth we worked with breath of life and ended up birthing at Morton plant. So for our second birth we really wanted a different experience. We prayed and interviewed several midwives. After the first meeting with Katrina, both my husband and I knew we wanted her as our midwife for all future births. We’ve had 2 pregnancies and births with her now and I could go on and on about how amazing she is. She is the best provider we’ve had by far. I personally feel she has become more than a midwife to our little family. She has offered herself endlessly as a friend, doula, midwife and even nurturing mother figure. It’s usually impossible to say you 100% align with your provider, love them and feel they have your best interest at heart. But without hesitation, I can confidently say we’ve found that in Katrina.

— Kiana Wagner

Katrina is amazing! We cannot say enough about her. She made me feel so secure, supported, and gave me the confidence and empowerment the day my daughter was born. She is one of the kindest people I have ever met, and truly cares about the families she works with. She included our family as a whole and it was such a special time. I looked forward to our frequent visits and so did my 3 year old son, who got to help her do vitals each times She met our expectations and went above and beyond. She is still now such an important person in my life, if you are looking for a calm nurturing, strong, and educated support system, Katrina is the one.

— Katie Beardslee

I cannot say enough about my experience with Katrina. I knew I wanted a home birth but I also knew it had to be with the right person. Katrina is calm, experienced, loving, encouraging, real, open & truly an incredible soul. I felt incredibly safe and taken care of with her extensive knowledge & time she takes at each care visit. I also loved working with her assistant midwife Sharlee. Katrina was a huge part in making my birthing experience magical. Truly.

— Alexis Carra

My husband and I can’t recommend Katrina enough. We made the transfer to her care when I was 25 weeks pregnant. She is supportive, beyond educated, and so so so kind. At this point we feel like she’s family. Her prenatal care is stellar. She is attentive and gives true individualized care. Katrina took more than enough time with us at each appointment to make us feel truly cared for. Katrina effortlessly meets the needs of the families she serves while respectfully providing education to assist in making informed decisions. Her priority is empowering birthing people and their partners to have the births of their dreams and she gave us just that. We had the most amazing home birth with her by our side and she will be our choice for all future births. The passion she has for profession of midwifery is so evident and truly inspiring. You wont regret making the decision to have her support for such a special time!

— Heather Dyer

The most amazing midwife in the world! She gives you the confidence and competence you need before the date, whilst also staying humble and modest. Very attentive and available, but gives you the space to be the mama warrior you were meant to be. Hands down best decision ever.

— SamMakesStuff

Katrina is great! Having her as our midwife was a blessing. I'll be forever thankful for everything she did for my whole family.

— Fabio Lima

Choosing Katrina as my midwife was a lovely experience. I had a lot of life events happen during my pregnancy and she was kind, compassionate, and held my hand through my journey. After the birth center I used for my previous births closed I was nervous to look elsewhere, but from the moment we first spoke I was instantly at ease. Her prenatal visits always felt like a friend coming over to visit. She involved my other two children when they happened to be home during an appointment...even our dog loved her. During the birth she was present but hands off and guided me through my quick labor. She had the utmost respect and reverence for me, my body, and the birth process. You cannot go wrong with choosing Katrina, she is simply amazing.

— Katie Reschny

My husband and I can warmly recommend Katrina Hollon and her midwife service. Respectful and gentle are the two words that first come to my mind when I think of Katrina. She is professional, warm and friendly. She will listen to your needs and provide appropriate suggestions throughout the pregnancy. I always felt very secure and comfortable. The luxury of having Katrina come to our home guiding through every step of the pregnancy was wonderful. I treasured every single moment and I couldn't be more happy having her by my side during the birth of our daughter. She also went the extra mile to make sure I had everything I needed after the birth. The aftercare was very thorough and I truly appreciate that Katrina came to our home, even more so when our daughter was new born. The pregnancy and birth was such a precious time for me and my husband and we are blessed we could share it with Katrina. Her last visit marked the end of this wonderful time and it filled me with a sad but warm and thankful feeling. I knew it was the beginning of a lifelong friendship.

— Hanna Engström

From the moment I met Katrina I felt comfortable. After having 2 hospital births, that was of the utmost importance to me. She has a calming presence, yet is clearly confident in her skills. This was the perfect blend of professionalism for me. To have someone who can sense the vibe in a room and act accordingly is so necessary during the birthing process. I never once felt nervous with her, she consistently answered all of my questions thoroughly. She respected decisions that I felt were mine to make as a parent and she became a friend. By the time my baby arrived, I was so comfortable having her there that it took much of the stress, that is normally correlated with labor, away. She took her time with me, I was never rushed, not on her home visits, not during labor and not after my baby was delivered. 4 months later, she still checks in to see how I am doing and she has been a wealth of resources for me. If I were having a 4th, I would unquestionably have Katrina by my side again. Best birth decision I’ve ever made!

— Tara Martin

I have had 3 natural home births. 2 in the water and the experience I had with Katrina Hollon trumps All the others. Katrina brings a peace with her everywhere she goes and in everything she does. And while she encourages you in the journey You want to have she has a confidence in her and a love for what she does that instills trust and assurance that no matter what happens along the way she will be able to give you exactly what you need. She anticipates what you need often before you do and provides more as a midwife than I have ever experienced! She's hands down amazing and was a compete answer to prayer for our family as we have fallen in love with her and consider her apart of our family and circle for life. I could go on and on but do yourself a favor and anyone you know... Ask for Katrina Hollon... My holistic maternity 💕

— Katie Marcussen

I love Katrina!!!

— Laura St. Clair

Absolutely the best choice for maternity care.

— Shelly Egbert

Katrina explains everything about the process thoroughly she gave me such confidence. I highly recommend Katrina

— Theresa Egbert

You will never find a more loving, dedicated, and all-knowing midwife as Katrina! She makes you feel like you are family and deeply cares about your needs and wishes.

— Lei Ann Woozley

Katrina is an incredible midwife. The personal care that she provides during the most important time of your life is priceless.

— Rosemary Nickel

I chose Katrina to be with me during the birth of our last baby boy. I was 42 years old and had 3 children already. But I felt nervous more so this time. I know the calm and warmth and love we experienced during this birth was due to the energy Katrina owns. She is one of the best! If looking for the best birth experience for yourself and your baby - Holistic Maternity is your key!! Her knowledge and experience are priceless!! Thank you!

— Davina Doletzky

Katrina is everything you could imagine a midwife to be! She is kind, gentle, knowledgeable and her presence is always calming. She is gracious and so patient while our children asked questions. She is thorough and always presents all the options ensuring that you have all the information you need to make decisions for your care and your baby's. She is trustworthy. I knew that I was safe and could be vulnerable to process through many emotions and thoughts.

— Carolyn Mayer

Our experience with Katrina was a total gift and we are incredibly grateful for the time, care and expertise that made this a truly beautiful experience. Katrina and the care she provides are such a wonderful example of what prenatal, natal and postnatal care should be.

— Mattie Higgins

Katrina was amazing. She helped me and my husband welcome a healthy baby girl in February. Pre-natal appointments were personalized and never rushed. She was quick to answer any questions at any hour. The night of the birth was smooth and I felt safe in her care. We will definitely be calling Katrina for our second baby when that time comes!

— Mandy Karan

Katrina is not only an outstanding midwife, she’s a true light to be around. The birth of our daughter was the most beautiful day of our lives and we owe most of that to Katrina. After learning about Homebirth, there was nothing I wanted more than to bring Aiya into the world that way, and thanks to Katrina, not only was it a success but the whole process until then and after was so precious. I will say leaving her care when our daughter aged out was super sad. Looking forward to one day having another little one and having Katrina back in our lives!

— victoria neter

The best choice I have ever made. Katrina made my home birth experience smooth and AMAZING! My son is now 2 yo, but Katrina continues to make herself available as a resource, in any way she can. The families that Katrina has cared for are ALL in love with her! Sadly, she is unable to attend the MANY invitations to birthday parties, gatherings, etc....but I am certain she will continue to get those invitations, and she will continue to be cherished by her families! Eternally grateful, love from Brooke and John Wayne.

— Brooke Walker

Katrina is the true essence of an out-of-hospital midwife and care provider. She truly took time to focus on me throughout my pregnancy and provided the exact energy I needed at my birth. She assisted me in catching my daughter and I could not have felt more empowered than I did in that moment. I have so much gratitude for Katrina and all she brought to my pregnancy and birth. Thank you!!

— kim haines

Katrina was an amazingly gentle and compassionate midwife. She helped us have the birth experience that we wanted and provided us with excellent care before, during and after.

— Nicole

I can't praise Katrina and her practice highly enough for how she helped to bring our 2 children into this world. With our first pregnancy, Katrina was the clear front runner as our midwife of choice. She was kind, gentle, thorough and very open to alternative procedures and approaches. As a matter of fact, Katrina believes in empowering parents with the information they need to make informed decisions from the simplest to the grandest of forks in the road. Our second pregnancy was a repeat of the first with some slight changes and more confidence on our part. We had a few concerns along the way but Katrina always kept us grounded and presented our options at every juncture very well. With this we were able to make the right choices and deliver a second baby, trouble-free in the comfort of our own home. As a father, I felt like Katrina really involved me in the process instead of it being all about the mother. That was huge for me because I am a very active and involved parent, and me and my wife make decisions jointly. Choosing a midwife is a very personal choice, but Katrina is of the highest calibre both professionally and personally. She made us think, laugh, question the status quo and take ownership of our pregnancies. We very much enjoy her company and consider her a dear friend that we're very thankful for.

— Dave Clements

As a birth worker and mother of two boys I knew I wanted my third birth to be a home birth. I also knew I wanted Katrina Hollon as my midwife. I knew her calm and caring style would be perfect for the home birth I envisioned. Katrina truly cares about her patients as individuals, on the level of a good friend, but who also is very talented in her field, a highly skilled medical professional. Her care was respectful, caring and gentle. Lisa Russell was the birth assistant and her skills and care were fantastic. I felt completely confident in my birth team which allowed me to dig deep and focus on birthing my 8 lb 8oz baby seamlessly. During the birth they reminded me of my specific desires which I achieved...touching my babys head during his decent was something I will never forget! Both me and my entire family loved Katrinas compassionate care for prenatal visits, the birth and afterwards. I highly recommend Katrina and Lisa and am grateful for such an amazing birth experience!

— Laura Irmis

When my husband and I found out we were expecting our first child, we researched and explored various options for our birth. Our search came to an end when we met Katrina. From our first visit, she instilled a sense of calm confidence in the birth process which only grew as our pregnancy progressed. When our birthing time arrived, she intervened only when needed which encouraged an incredible bonding experience between my husband and me. The calming home environment and hydro therapy made my contractions very tolerable. Katrina and her assistant, Lisa, ensured us all was well and offered suggestions when needed. With her guidance, our son was born into his father’s arms. Our birth was the most amazing experience of our lives, and it was facilitated by our incredible midwife.
