Mary Catherine Hamelin

Licensed Midwife, CLC

I am a Florida Licensed Midwife, and graduate of Commonsense Childbirth School of Midwifery. My background was in the arts, but I found my greatest inspiration in motherhood. I was born in Florida and grew up climbing orange trees and catching sandfleas. A deep connection with nature weaves through the work I do as a mother and midwife.

Since 2009 I have supported hundreds of birthing families as both a doula and midwife, in diverse communities and various birth settings in both New York City and West Central Florida. I have worked with advocacy groups Childbirth Connection and Choices in Childbirth. I became a Florida Licensed Midwife in 2018, and worked for The Birth Center of St. Pete through the end of 2019, when I opened this independent home birth practice, a long time dream of mine.

Mission Statement

My mission for this midwifery practice is to provide holistic community birth care for families that:

• Roots in research of traditions, trends, and evidence

• Reconnects us to our nature and each other

• Refreshes our commitment to health & vitality

I believe that the Midwifery Model of Care has the potential to positively impact a family’s health for generations to come.
