The cost of a midwife in Lakeland, 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 Lakeland, FL, depends on your specific insurance plan and the midwife's credentials. Many insurance companies cover midwifery care, especially if the midwife is a licensed or certified nurse-midwife (CNM) and works within a hospital or birthing center that is in-network. However, coverage may vary for home births or services provided by direct-entry midwives or certified professional midwives (CPMs). It's essential to check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage details, including any copays, deductibles, or restrictions, and to verify that the midwife you choose is covered under your plan.

  • 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 Lakeland, 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.

There are no enough words to describe how thankful that. I had found Zory and was able to have her as my Doula. When I met her, I knew immediately that she was the one and that I would be extremely comfortable with her. She takes her time to meet with you, to ensure you are heard and she does her best to make sure it happens. She pays attention to detail before and during your birth. My birth did not go exactly how I planned, it went along fast and I was supper freaked out, but as soon as she arrived, I felt an extreme sense of safety and comfort. If I were to have more children, I would want Zory by my side again. During labor and during all that pain there is one thing that stands out to me and it was all her telling me that I was doing this and I was doing amazing, etc, everything else was blurred out. You would not regret having her as your Doula and you would want her to be in your life as your friend, because that's how much she cares. Thank you Zory! I am eternally grateful for you

Hi! I'm Gabriella, and I’m passionate about supporting women and families through their fertility, pregnancy, labor, and motherhood journeys. My path to becoming a doula began in 2014 after my own empowering birth experience with my first child. Inspired, I became a certified childbirth educator through the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth and discovered my deep passion for women’s health and well-being. Over the years, I’ve been privileged to support families in various ways—whether teaching childbirth education, offering lactation consulting, or even serving as a virtual doula in moments of need. My own birth experiences have shaped my practice. From a beautiful birth center delivery to navigating an unexpected emergency C-section, and finally achieving my VBAC home birth, I bring a wealth of personal and professional insight to my work. These experiences have fueled my commitment to empowering families with knowledge, confidence, and holistic care. At the end of 2023, I made the decision to leave my corporate career to pursue my dream full-time. I am currently trained through DONA International, a globally respected organization, and offer compassionate, intuitive support focused on mental, physical, and nutritional health. My approach is holistic and tailored to each family’s unique needs, ensuring that partners feel confident and supported throughout the journey. I am so excited to walk alongside you and help you achieve the birth experience you desire. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or your fourth, I look forward to being part of your story!

Gabi is incredibly knowledgable in all things Doula, pregnancy, pre and postpartum, as well as being kind, empathetic and welcoming. She listens to all concerns and preferences that you might have and advises the best way to move forward. I am based in the UK and Gabi has gone out of her way to still schedule in sessions with me and my partner, around our shift pattern too. I wouldn’t have anyone else helping me navigate this next chapter in my life and I’m always grateful I found her. I would definitely recommend!

Hey New Friend I’m Justine, your new friend, your cheerleader, your support, and your added strength from your Baby Bump, Beyond Birth journey. You’ll find me filling many roles as a wife, mother of 3, early childhood enthusiast, and dedicated doula that loves photographing cherished moments throughout Central Florida. Some say a doula is a luxury, however for many it’s a necessity! I became a doula because I realized how many women/birthing persons are without support or a village to help them through what could be the most beautiful yet scariest time of their life. At Baby Bumps, Beyond Birth, we believe that every individual deserves a birth experience that honors their autonomy, dignity, and unique story. We are dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized care that nurtures the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. Through education, compassion, and individualized support, my mission is to support and uplift birthing individuals and their families, fostering a safe, informed, and empowered experience from pregnancy to parenthood.

Justine's ability to listen and provide support is unmatched. She also understands that each birth and experience is different, which allows her to adjust to meet the special needs of each mom. I would recommend Justine as a Doula to any mom who needs support and advocacy on their journey to motherhood. I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future to handle my birth needs.

I'm very passionate that those in my care feel seen and heard,, and know that there is someone present focused on advocating specifically for their needs. I want to bring inclusiveness and trauma-informed care to the forefront of my practice. My approach is very client led and tailored to each person's specific needs.

Hannah was my doula for my birth of my son Luca. She was truly wonderful through the whole process before labor helping me prepare with everything I was worried about. During labor when my whole birth plan went to waste due to having a emergency c-section and helping me feel empowered to the whole situation. Even when the doctors were rushing my whole birth she made sure to question them when I wasnt able to advocate for myself. She even waited the whole time during my c-section and made sure me and my baby were/ felt safe after. I truly couldn't have imagined being without my doulas during this whole process as it was a very traumatic experience for me and the only thing keeping me going is how empowered they kept me through the whole situation. I loved having her as my doula and would choose her over and over again to be there for me. Having a doula is one of the best choices I have ever made for myself and my family you feel supported and at peace knowing they are there for you in all aspects of pregnancy! If you're on the fence of whether or not you need a doula I can tell you that it's the best thing you can do for yourself as a first time mom!

If you welcome me into your birth space I hold this responsibility close to my heart. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in trusting your body, knowing your rights, and protecting the sacredness of your birth! I can't wait to meet you!! The women + people I work with are looking for a doula who is… Collaborative, heart-centered, and authentic - While being evidence-based, flexible, and rooted in supporting intuitive, body-led birth I consider myself a birth nerd, and mental health advocate. I also have deep trust in the human body's ability to birth.

Michelle was an incredible source of strength during one of the most vulnerable moments of my life. My labor didn’t go the way the birth plan we created and at times I felt overwhelmed and unheard by the doctors. Michelle made sure I never felt invisible. She truly listened to me, advocated for me, and helped me feel seen and understood when I needed it most. Even when things became difficult and unpredictable, she kept me grounded with her calm presence and reassurance. Having my doulas by my side made all the difference; they supported me with so much compassion and care that it felt like having family in the room. I’m so grateful I got to work with them and I would want them by my side for every birth because of the love, strength, and comfort they brought to my experience. Truly, even after my emergency C-section, having doulas was one of the best choices I've made.

If you are looking for a doula, look no further. I don’t have enough words to describe how incredible Anjolie was throughout my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum journey. My husband and I were initially on the fence about hiring a doula because of the amount of information available on social media. We thought we could “be our own doula,” but looking back, I know with certainty that I would not have achieved my goal of an unmedicated birth without Anjolie’s support. There is no way we could have made it through a 30+ hour unmedicated labor without her. Anjolie is clearly called by the Lord to support women through one of the most beautiful experiences of their lives. She was always available to answer questions, full of wisdom and guidance during moments of anxiety or unexpected challenges, and always placed prayer at the center of her care. During the most intense moments of labor, her calm presence and steady voice helped me cope with each contraction. She was incredibly resourceful with positions and techniques to help manage labor discomfort and assured me that my doctors and nurses were respecting my birth plan. Even now, postpartum, Anjolie continues to check in, offering support and answering questions. We would absolutely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and faith-based doula.

I believe that childbirth is very intense, hard work, but is not designed to be traumatic, that children are a blessing from the Lord, and in most cases, the discomfort that comes with the WORK of childbirth can be managed well through mental, emotional, physical and spiritual conditioning to promote a smoother transition from the womb to the world.. It is my pleasure to teach and guide parents how to do just that.

"I recently had the privilege of working with an exceptional doula, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first consultation, she made me feel seen, heard, and completely supported. She took the time to understand my birth preferences, my concerns, and my family’s needs, and she never imposed an agenda—only offered compassionate guidance and evidence-based information that helped me make confident, informed choices. During the prenatal period, she checked in regularly and provided thoughtfully organized resources on everything from birth positions and comfort measures to hospital/birthing center procedures and newborn care. She led us through practical exercises, helped me build a flexible birth plan, and involved my partner every step of the way so we felt like a strong, united team. Her communication was outstanding—prompt, clear, and reassuring—and she was consistently available to answer questions, calm anxieties, and offer realistic, nonjudgmental support. When labor began, she arrived quickly and brought an immediate sense of calm to the room. She guided my breathing, provided affirmation, suggested position changes that truly made a difference, used massage and counterpressure with remarkable intuition, and transformed the environment with simple touches that made me feel safe and focused. She advocated respectfully for my preferences with birthing center staff, encouraged me when I wavered, and helped my partner feel confident and actively involved. Even when plans shifted, she adapted with grace and kept us grounded, ensuring that I felt fully in control of my choices throughout. Her postpartum care was equally outstanding. She checked in frequently, helped us process the birth experience, and offered gentle, practical support for recovery. She provided hands-on guidance with breastfeeding, recommended community resources, and normalized the emotional ups and downs of the early days. She treated our family with deep respect and cultural sensitivity, always honoring our values and boundaries. In every interaction, she was professional, knowledgeable, and deeply kind. Her presence turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one that felt empowering, supported, and even beautiful. If you’re looking for a doula who combines skill, heart, and unwavering advocacy, look no further—she is truly exceptional."

Hi moms and dads! I am so excited to have the opportunity to serve you as you embark on the most beautiful journey in life- parenthood. My name is Carolina and I am originally from Boston, Massachusetts with Colombian roots. I have lived in Orlando since the summer of 2000 and received my BA in International Relations, before deciding that the work that sets my soul on fire is helping mamas and kiddos live mindful, meaningful lives where they trust their intuition and learn to love themselves unconditionally. My goal as a doula is to help moms realize that they have the inner strength to achieve the pregnancy, birth and postpartum periods of their dreams. With my certification as a yoga teacher, I apply much of what I learned in my training within my birth support services.

If you’re looking for someone that can help you navigate your new reality as a first time mom than this is it Carolina is priceless & worth every cent that you can spend on her as a doula/ parenting educator Her experience and intuition speaks louder than any knowledgeable doctor I’ve been too she’s helped me help my baby better than anyone could. I’ve known Carolina for 7 years & since she announced that she was offering doula services I just knew I had to come to her when I was ready to become a mom and that happened sooner than expected and it was the first thing I did when I found out and I’m so glad I did because she became my rock during my pregnancy especially being a first time mom and not knowing how to do things and what to expect she easily empowers you to believe in yourself and allow your intuition to quickly kick in from pregnancy to birth to postpartum She encourages you and helps you so much that it made me feel like doctors were useless compared to her!!! She’s calmed every doubt and as soon as you bring a problem to her she’s quick with a solution there’s soo much more but it’s something that you will have to experience yourself to truly see how great she is Seriously she’s so great you will not regret it it’s the best thing you can invest in as you join your new journey as a mom and your future to be the best mommy you can be!!

Hello! My name is Catherine. I’m a mom to four boys and I’m a Christian birth doula and birth photographer. I became passionate about the process of physiological birth after I had my first homebirth with my third son…it was the first time I truly felt empowered during the birth process and now I want every mother to be able to experience that same feeling! (no matter where she births!) I believe as women we have everything we need to give birth already inside of us but that we don’t have to do this alone! I’m here to hold your hand, remind you of how strong you are and celebrate with you when the hard part is over! I would be honored to be a part of your journey. The way I serve and support women as a doula is best described as “birth bestie” or “birth sister.” I want to truly get to know you (because the better I know you the better I can support you!) and hear all your dreams and desires for birth. I offer a listening ear and a calming presence for anything you might need to work through or discuss throughout your pregnancy journey. If any of this sounds good to you, let’s go grab coffee and chat about all the birth-y things! ☕️ https://msha.ke/jubilantbirth www.instagram.com/jubilant.birth

My husband and I were very grateful to have Catherine’s expertise, genuine care, and consistent support as we became first time parents. At the birth of our daughter there were many times that made me question my ability to continue through a slow progressing labor but Catherine’s support and calm was the fuel I needed to face another contraction. Having her as my doula was the best decision!
