Serving families in Tampa, St. Petersburg and surrounding areas
Welcome to Your Birth Journey
At Tampa Bay Midwives, we have three Florida Licensed Midwives and between the three of us we have over 26 years of experience in supporting families through the birthing process. We center on providing personalized, holistic care for pregnant individuals who choose to give birth at home, Prenatal/Postpartum Care for families that choose a hospital birth and we support VBAC mamas! We emphasize the importance of a natural, low-intervention birth experience, though we remain prepared for any necessary medical assistance.
We believe that everyone should be educated about their choices during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. Families deserve to be given unbiased, evidence-based medical information. We want our clients to feel empowered and supported with in their decisions regarding their care.

Free Initial Consult
Tampa Bay Midwives offers a free initial consult in order for families to meet with us and learn more about the services we provide. Making the decision to receive midwifery care can be a very rewarding choice, but it must be made with a full understanding of the risks and benefits. Your initial consult is a great time to ask questions and decide if midwifery care is right for you.
During the consultation, we typically cover:
- General health history questions
- Risks of childbirth and home birth to the mother and infant
- Management of complications in an out-of-hospital setting
- How labor and birth differ in a home birth versus hospital birth
- Your reasons for choosing out-of-hospital birth and midwifery care
- Arrangements for backup medical consultation and/or transport
Midwifery care is not a one-size-fits-all for families. We always recommend interviewing multiple midwives as well as doulas (and yes ~ hire a doula!) It's important to find the midwife who makes you feel safe and who is on the same page as you in regard to your birthing goals. This is your birth and midwifery is about choices. We look forward to speaking with you for a consultation!
