Pregnancy and having babies is such an exciting time in a family’s life! Every person who supports you and your baby during your birth experience has an important role to play.
Here at Heart 2 Heart Birth Center, you’ll have regular visits with your midwives, Michelle and Betty. Administratively, you’ll meet with our Office Manager & Financial Director Kat. Our other team members are equally important to the daily running of our center: our Birth Assistants Anna, Sarah, Kimberly & Crystal. Our Education Department is headed up by Jenn Randall but there are several teachers and doulas involved with childbirth education at Heart 2 Heart.
It’s nice to have a name with a face, so I would like to introduce you to our little family here at Heart 2 Heart Birth Center!
Michelle is the owner of Heart 2 Heart Birth Center and has been a Florida Licensed Midwife practicing at both home birth and birth centers in Florida since the late 80s. She became a licensed midwife in 1997 and was the Program Director for a midwifery program and has personally trained over 20 midwives who are practicing around the country.
Michelle is the mother of two grown sons, both of whom were delivered by midwives as well and her own granddaughter was born here at Heart 2 Heart Birth Center. Her little foot prints can be found on the walls here in a place of honor. Michelle is happily married to her sweetie, Allen and they enjoy horseback riding and motorcycle riding together. Michelle is an avid Disney fan and on days off is most likely heading to a theme park for roller coaster adventures.
Kat joined the H2H Team back in 2019 where she quickly found love for the birth field and has never felt more at home somewhere. If you call us during business hours, Kat’s voice is the first you’ll hear. She’s kind, concise and uber organized. She is THE person who makes sure your papers get where they belong and is the hub for keeping everything running on track and on schedule in our birth center. She is the first and last person you see when coming for your visits, and she keeps our office upbeat and positive. Her side kick Trixie, our office mascot, is often seen under her feet or in her lap.
Kat enjoys living the Florida lifestyle to the fullest. You’ll often find her paddle board strapped to her truck in the parking lot or run into her at one of the local springs on a beautiful day.
During your consultation visit, if you are beyond 7 weeks, we can do a free pregnancy confirmation early ultrasound video as our gift to you.
