Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in St. Johns, FL

While living in Charlotte, NC we got pregnant with our son & I was immediately in love with learning everything that I could about pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. The more I learned the more I became overwhelmed and amazed at the work of the woman’s body in this intense time period. I got a doula who helped me understand so much about the birth process and I could never have been thankful enough for the role she played in allowing me to have a birth I can look back on with fondness. Throughout this process she helped me realize this is something I could do myself for others! I then connected the dots between my previous interest in counseling and newfound love for pregnancy and birth and realized that being a doula would suit all my loves: helping people through HUGE life events & birth. I am passionate about women feeling equipped and empowered to have the birth that they desire- medicated, unmedicated, planned, spontaneous, etc. As a Birth Doula I plan to help guide you through the pregnancy with education, support, and preparation for birth and postpartum. I will assist and encourage you through labor in the way that we decide would best fit you and help as you adjust to life with a new baby. My goal as a doula is for you to leave your birth empowered and encouraged.

Kahla's own experience during the birth of her first child led her to discover her passion for supporting others on their journey through pregnancy, birth and beyond.

It was during this experience that Kahla recognized the profound impact a doula can have on the birthing process. Her newfound passion for empowering and supporting expectant mothers and families led her to become a doula herself in 2017. Kahla completed her Doula Training Course through DONA International. In the seven years since, Kahla has been a steadfast presence in the Jacksonville birth community serving families in hospital, home and birth center settings. She understands the profound, life long impact of childbirth experiences.

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.

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.

For the past 16 years, I have practiced as a Licensed Massage Therapist, helping individuals understand their bodies, manage physical discomfort, release tension, and experience the restorative benefits of therapeutic touch. Over the past five years, I have also had the privilege of supporting families throughout their pregnancy and birth journeys. What began as a passion for helping expectant mothers feel comfortable, informed, and supported has grown into a deeper calling to provide comprehensive doula care.

That philosophy is at the heart of my approach to birth. A Different Approach to Birth Preparation As a Certified Body Ready Method® Pro, Body Ready Birth Teacher, and Better Birth Pro, I bring together my background in therapeutic bodywork with specialized education in birth biomechanics and childbirth preparation. My approach goes beyond traditional emotional support.

Birth Biomechanics & Body Ready Method®: Movement, positioning, and body awareness to support comfort, mobility, and physical preparation.

Continuous Labor Support: A reassuring presence, comfort measures, encouragement, and advocacy for your informed choices.

Whether you envision an unmedicated birth, choose medical pain management, plan a hospital delivery, or experience an unexpected change in your birth plan, my role is to help you feel heard, respected, informed, and supported. My goal is not to direct your birth experience, but to help you enter it with knowledge, practical tools, confidence, and a trusted person by your side.
