I’d you are looking for a doula Anna is absolutely amazing. I NEVER take time to leave reviews on things but I have to rave about how amazing she is. I don’t think I could have gotten through everything without her. She truly takes time for you and is the kindest most supportive team member you could have for your birthing journey! I was blessed to have her here with me.

Hi there, I'm Jen, the doula and photographer! I offer maternity, birth and newborn sessions. I am married to my wonderful husband with whom I share seven energetic kiddos, ranging in age from 1 to 12 years! My personal birth experiences, a mix of hospital and home, are what ultimately ignited my passion for helping other women along in their journey to motherhood. It baffled me that so many women don't receive the support and education they deserve. My youngest 3 children were born at home, and I was then able to finally experience how powerfully transformative birth can be when done with absolute support and reverence to the process. It wasn't until the birth of my 7th child, I felt the Lord impress upon my heart to pursue birth work. After linking up with Sylvia Scarlett, I attended a DONA International doula training course with the amazing Rae Davies to gain a broader perspective of birth, aside from my very own, diverse experiences. All of which has helped shape me to become the woman, mother, and doula I am today. I am THRILLED to come alongside you and your family to reclaim your power as well as capture those intimate moments for you to cherish forever.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Katie as my doula for my first pregnancy, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Her calm and confident demeanor was exactly what I needed during this special time. Katie was an overall loving presence, providing unwavering support and reassurance throughout the entire process. She encouraged changing positions and breath work, which made a significant difference in my comfort and stress levels. Katie made me feel comfortable and empowered every step of the way. Thank you, Katie, for making my first pregnancy such a positive and memorable experience!

Coni Davis

2 years of experience

Hey everyone! My name is Coni and I am a Certified Birth Doula located in Polk County, Florida. I'm married and have 3 crazy kiddos. I was also a surrogate and had Belly Buddy on February 3rd, 2024. I have always been interested in birth. My mom used to teach childbirth classes at the hospital when I was little, and I always loved going with her. I got pregnant at 17 and had to deliver at a birthing center due to financial reasons. I was TERRIFIED to give birth without any medications. Long story short I did it and I felt so empowered! This is when my passion grew even stronger about birth and learning the truths behind it. I ended up having my other 2 kids at the same birthing center because I fell in love with it. I had my first hospital birth with Belly Buddy and that was a new experience that I was able to grow my knowledge in. I would love to be your Doula and help empower you. It’s amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it, are prepared mentally and physically for birth and have the right support system.

Cari Treadway

5 years of experience

Hello! I am a birth and postpartum doula in Volusia County and servicing within a 50 mile radius. I got started in the birth community after the birth of my daughter. I had a wonderful experience, in part due to the wonderful midwives who attended me throughout my pregnancy and labor, as well as the postpartum doula who came to my home at 2 in the morning to help me with her when I was losing my sanity. These experiences made me want to give to other women, and I found my way into doula work. It has been the most rewarding work I have ever done, and I love doing it. Outside of my work, I spend time with my daughter and my partner, I enjoy reading and playing video games, and I have two cats and a leopard gecko. I have a Facebook page for my business where I regularly post at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100069593215044&mibextid=ZbWKwL

I can't begin to say enough good things about Cari. From the moment we first began messaging, to our first meeting, all the way up to the amazing unmedicated birth of our second daughter. We are not strangers to an unmedicated birth, as that is what we did with our first daughter, but Cari helped make the experience with our second not only even better but much calmer and secure all around. Cari was informative in not just the potential outcomes of the birth we WANTED, but she made sure to take the time to cover what-if scenarios. What we were looking for in a Doula was someone who was willing to take the time to get to know us well before baby #2 was born, but also someone with a kind vibe/aura (IYKYK), who could advise us on some additional labor coping movements and massage/pressure points, and she did all of the above plus more. If we have another baby, she will undoubtedly be our Doula again. I genuinely recommend her on all levels. Even after our daughter was born, she stayed with us in the birth center for hours until I felt well and recovered enough for her to leave us (and this was past 1 am). She captured some absolutely precious, beautiful, and raw photos of our birth, on top of doing a newborn photoshoot for us. Themed and set where we wanted, yet again surpassing all expectations. She includes postpartum support as well, and she is so sweet when she came for her postpartum visit, she brought a batch of the most AMAZING lactation cookies ever (and might I say they sure worked for me!!). Cari will undoubtedly take the time to listen and form a plan that you want while informing you of all possibilities and taking care of you like a member of her own family, honestly. And who doesn't love a fellow nerd? Look no further. She IS the doula for you. THIS is the sign you're looking for.

Holly became interested in helping others, first with a career in teaching yoga and expanded into birth support. Certified as a Prenatal Yoga teacher in 2016. A lactation consultant in 2018 and a doula in 2020. Holly strives to support women and families in need of emotional, physical, and spiritual support before during and after delivery.

Recent review

Holly was an amazing doula and general prenatal/postnatal resource. I moved across the country to NSB 20 weeks pregnant, so Holly was my main source of support in the area. She was so kind and helped me through some early labor scares and difficulties with grace and patience. She knew the hospital system and seemed to have everything I needed during the birth process. It was my second birth and my first experience in another state was extremely stressful so this birth was very redeeming for me. I’ve kept Holly in my life because she is someone you want to keep around. I’m forever grateful she was part of my experience and if we ever have a third she will be the first person we’d call on.

FAQs

What is a midwife?

A midwife is a licensed medical professional who cares for low-risk pregnancies and mothers who want no-to-low intervention deliveries (e.g., home birth, birthing center delivery, water birth).

Can you pay for a midwife with HSA or FSA funds in St. Cloud, FL?

Yes, you can use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds to pay for midwifery services, as long as those services are related to medical care. Always check the specific rules of your HSA or FSA plan, as there can be variations in what expenses are considered eligible between different plans.

Are midwives covered by insurance in St. Cloud, FL?

Whether insurance covers the cost of a midwife in St. Cloud, FL, depends on your specific insurance plan and the midwife's credentials. Many insurance plans provide coverage for licensed midwives, especially if they are certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) and part of the plan's network. However, coverage may vary for services provided by certified professional midwives (CPMs) or those practicing in out-of-hospital settings, like birthing centers or home births. It's important to contact your insurance provider directly to confirm what midwifery services are covered, any out-of-pocket costs, and if pre-authorization is required.

How much does a midwife cost in St. Cloud, FL?

The cost of a midwife in St. Cloud, FL, can vary depending on the services provided, the midwife's experience, and whether the care is for a home birth, birthing center, or prenatal visits. On average, midwife services for prenatal care and delivery may range from $3,000 to $6,000 for out-of-hospital births. Some midwives offer payment plans or accept certain insurance plans, which can reduce out-of-pocket costs. It is best to contact local midwives or birthing centers in your area for exact pricing and details.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.

What's the difference between a midwife and an OBGYN?

A midwife is a healthcare professional who specializes in low-risk pregnancies, childbirth, and postpartum care. They typically emphasize a natural and holistic approach, focusing on minimal medical interventions. Midwives often work in birth centers, at home births, or in hospitals, depending on their certification and location. They provide personalized care and support throughout pregnancy and labor and may also assist with breastfeeding and newborn care. An OBGYN is a medical doctor who has completed extensive training, including medical school and a residency, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. They care for all types of pregnancies, including high-risk cases, and are trained to handle medical complications, perform surgeries (like C-sections), and provide comprehensive reproductive healthcare beyond pregnancy. OBGYNs typically work in hospitals or clinics and can manage a broader range of medical situations.

Can I see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy?

Yes, you can see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy. Midwives are trained to provide care during pregnancy, including for those conceived through IVF, as long as the pregnancy is low-risk. They can help with prenatal care, labor, and delivery, and provide postpartum support. However, if your IVF pregnancy is considered high-risk or involves complications, you may need to work with an obstetrician in collaboration with the midwife to ensure proper care. Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best care plan for your situation.
