3 Best Midwives in Miami, FL

I had two perfect water births at home with Sheila and her midwives at what doctors would call “advanced maternal age.” She is 100% competent, capable, reassuring and supportive of mom and baby from the first consultation to well beyond the birth. My first child was born in a Miami hospital, which was a very traumatic experience. All of my choices and instincts were stripped from me there. Sheila restored all of that. I will be always grateful to her and proud that I didn’t let fear grip me regarding what some people said about their perceived danger of home births. Giving birth with Sheila was safer, healthier and more natural for both me and my babies compared to my hospital birth. I suffered post-partum depression for years after the hospital. None of that with Sheila. She spent at least an hour per visit with me, as opposed to 5 minutes with the OB. And the many house calls after the home birth! She’s just amazing. Not just an expert care provider, but a trusted friend who doesn’t treat you like a number. Don’t let her calm demeanor fool you. She is strong and knows what she’s doing every step of the way. Love you, Sheila!

Shelia is one of a kind. Such a deeply beautiful kind and love soul. I’m so glad to have crossed paths with her as her Essence will live on with me forever. She made being pregnant special and was there for me throughout I will always appreciate and love her for the exceptional person that she is!

Sheila and Miriam are such a wonderful team! I highly recommend both woman, their expertise and genuine care for what they do is phenomenal. The birth of my son would not have been without surgery if it were for them!!

I am so very happy to have chosen Magnolia for my birth journey. I began my care there at 10 weeks pregnant and received all of my prenatal care with their team. I felt supported every step of the way. They are diligent, do all appropriate testings, were great at following-up, referrals, appointments are organized, place is always clean, explain things thoroughly, helped me manage expectations, safety is number one priority, your mental health is genuinely valued, finances are transparent, and they offer many resources including birth preparation virtual classes. Starting with Ms. Patricia over the phone and then Kerra that welcomes you at the entrance with a smile and is always willing to help you out. Every single midwife is special in their own way. Audrey is so sweet and nurturing, there’s no rush in appointments with her and she takes time to listen and always give you a soothing advice. Tiffany gave me confidence and reassurance when I was dealing with a stomach bug, her calm, grounded energy is inspiring and comforting. Melanie is caring and so kind, she’s passionate about her work and consistently helped me stay positive, during birth she made me feel that everything was going to be okay. Dawna is the OG of midwives, she gave me my very first tour and was also the one who placed my baby on my chest when he was finally born. She is tough but gentle, helped me stay centered, and her experience and knowledge plus bright blue eyes gave me the extra confidence to push when I thought I had nothing left. She also offered the best lactation advice during my 24-hour postpa

Magnolia Birth House will forever hold a special place in my heart. I gave birth to my son, Mukhtar, here two years ago, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. Now that I’m pregnant again, there was no question about where I wanted to give birth. I came right back because my first experience was so positive and empowering. Magnolia Birth House truly feels like home, and I fully plan to have all of my children here. I’m beyond grateful for this team and highly recommend Magnolia Birth House to anyone seeking a beautiful, loving, and empowering birth experience.

We birthed our firstborn with Magnolia and the whole experience was nothing short of magical. The birth center itself is cozy and inviting. The staff is always pleasant and kind. All of the midwives and midwife assistants made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. They’re understanding about payment scheduling and flexible with appointment scheduling. The birth of my daughter was amazing and we’re now pregnant with baby #2 and didn’t even think twice about whether or not we’d return to Magnolia, it was a given. Highly recommend Magnolia Birth House!
