QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to start midwifery care?
It’s best to begin midwifery care early in your pregnancy. Many clients have their first visit between 10-14 weeks, when the fetal heartbeat can be heard by Doppler. If you're not already seeing another provider, I recommend starting care by 20 weeks. However, clients are welcome to begin care at any point in their pregnancy, as long as it’s before labor. Since space is limited, reaching out early helps ensure availability.
Where do routine visits take place?
Routine visits occur at my home office, which is family-centered, with partners and children always welcome. In the third trimester, one prenatal visit will take place in your home or chosen place of delivery, where I will also attend you for the birth and immediate postpartum visit 1 to 3 days after delivery. The two-week and six-week postpartum visits will resume at my home office.
Can I bring my kids or partner to the visits?
Absolutely! If you have a toddler, they can even play in my playroom while you have a grown-up conversation. Or, if you'd rather have them by you, no worries at all. Your partner, friends, or parents are also welcome!
Do you serve my area?
I serve families within about a 45-minute drive. I can sometimes go farther on a case-by-case basis, with a travel fee. Areas I usually serve: South Orlando, Kissimmee, St. Cloud, Lake Nona, Dr. Phillips, Windermere, Winter Garden, Clermont, and Davenport.
How long have you been a midwife?
I have been working in the birth community since 2010. My experience includes working as a student midwife in India and East Africa and at a high-volume birth center in Central Florida. I obtained my midwifery license in 2018 and established Moments Midwifery shortly after. I've attended more than 500 births.
What are your religious/spiritual beliefs?
As a midwife, I support families of all beliefs with love and respect. Growing up in a multi-religious household has given me a deep appreciation for diverse perspectives. I keep my beliefs private, focusing on building trust and honoring each family's spiritual preferences. My personal views never affect the care I provide—every family deserves compassionate, individualized support.
