“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers--strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”

THE MIDWIVES

We are a team of loving midwives located in Jacksonville Beach, FL. We provide comprehensive prenatal care, homebirth, waterbirth, VBAC, postpartum care, and more. We feel truly called to this work and find so much purpose and passion in serving the families of our community. We view birth as one of the most sacred and profound rites of passages in life. We have walked with hundreds of women through this rite of passage and know that birth can be empowering, autonomous, family centered, and safe. In our practice we combine traditional and holistic knowledge with contemporary medicine in order to facilitate physiologic birth in a safe and supportive way. At the very heart of our practice is the knowing that peaceful and loving birth experiences have the power to shift the consciousness of the world.

"I chose to go with Modern Midwives for my 3rd baby and second homebirth and I am so happy I did. Maya and Mandi were absolutely amazing through my entire pregnancy, birth and beyond! Every prenatal visit was filled with love and laughter- and their experience and education in pregnancy and birth shows through with every visit. I looked forward to each appointment, we were able to check on baby and talk about anything and everything. After getting to know Mandi and Maya so well during my pregnancy, I felt so secure in my birth team and birth was incredible with them by my side!"
