Gainesville Midwives serves Alachua County and surrounding areas and is co-owned by midwives Kerri Audette, LM, CPM and Sorell Pagliara. Gainesville Midwives strongly believes that prenatal care is not defined by what happens at each prenatal visit, but is truly characterized by what happens between visits. We offer holistic, evidence based options to every family. We provide gentle, nurturing car
e that respects you and your family, as well as your beliefs and decisions about medical tests, recommendations, and interventions. Planned home birth is safe for low risk mothers and babies. While amazing and life changing events, pregnancy and childbirth are actually normal life processes for which a woman's body is well-designed. Our clients' births are attended by a team of two Florida Licensed Midwives. Home birth allows the freedom to move, eat, bathe - to do what feels natural during labor and birth. We don't "prohibit" or "allow," but patiently supports and guides our clients as needed. We respect the birth process as it uniquely unfolds each time.
