I am a: Healer, Florida Licensed Midwife (LM), Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC), Childbirth Educator, Yoni Steam Facilitator, Fitness Instructor, and more. Some of my certifications include Lactation Counselor, CPR, Neonatal Resuscitation, Blood Borne Pathogen, training in Placenta Encapsulation, Birth Emergency Skills Training (B.E.S.T.), HIPPA Compliance, and ongoing others. I’ve had the opportunity to work with midwives at the Miami Maternity Center, Hollywood Birth Center, and Magnolia Birth House! I’ve even had the opportunity to work with private practices such as Natural Birth Choices, Spirit of Life Midwifery, Global Birthing Care, Amma Midwifery, Bellymama Midwifery, and more! Learning from some of the most talented midwives has truly made an imprint on the type of midwife I am today! Crowning Midwifery, Birth Services, & Beyond (CMBS&B) isn't just about the Midwifery Model of Care, it's about incorporating traditional and culturally competent care. We have Doula Resources, Prenatal Fitness classes, Childbirth classes, Herbal Alternatives, and Beyond. Why am I a midwife? My journey into midwifery hasn't been a traditional one. It has been a gifted purpose/calling from birth. A path I followed by faith not by sight! A dream, now reality. How does a mere child that has not been around pregnancy, let alone labor, come up with that concept is truly beyond my physical understand, but it manifested deep within me. I am humbled by my midwifery journey…grateful to be in a field that I daydreamed about as a child…and thankful to those who helped me grow into the Midwife I am today! Now that you know more about me, I’d love to hear about you! https://www.crowningmidwifery.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/f7024b25-a472-416e-90c7-cbce023af182/cropped-BoldJourney1-1.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/b21d7322-eb58-47cc-a83f-1615deee43b7/buzz.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/4dea15c7-603d-4eaf-84da-96f09f34d7f1/first+Coast+news.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/7f01e833-f80f-46ac-9011-d9a1d7666e0d/wtxl+tally.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/2153d389-3e99-4e46-8ed3-4aa556303226/VoyageJacksonville-1-240x240.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/1925ae9f-8cf2-4a25-9cee-4686af4a74a8/canvas.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/e0188149-bd52-4ea3-b531-3deb0477a104/77ee7360-1e5e-49f1-84f9-87c95ed6b4a2.jpg Home - “What adds to the beauty of bringing forth new life?

How? Yoni steaming brings blood flow and warmth to the super absorbent vaginal tissue. Through the use of different herbs we can support and nourish our reproductive organs. As your Midwife & Healer, I would be able to differentiate between lochia and actual bleeding, whereupon if the bleeding is the latter, a woman should not be yoni steaming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/1585284406002-R80Y3T8G6LNCZ180M3FH/pp+bath.jpg Yoni Steaming & Herbs - POSTPARTUM RECOVERY BATH Different cultures have different versions of a postpartum healing bath, whether it be a Confinement bath, Haitian Bain, Western Sitz Bath, it all goes back to focusing on womb recovery. As your Midwife, I will supply you with herbs that will help facilitate nurturing along with healing, and contains antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties. https://www.crowningmidwifery.com/faqs daily 0.75 2025-08-05 https://www.crowningmidwifery.com/and-more daily 0.75 2026-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg MORE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/79ab22e7-9d1f-4788-a84b-87aaae0aa44b/1000005617.jpg MORE Close-up of a home birth newborn baby smiling while lying on a bed, wearing a white onesie with text and holding one hand up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/41899798-b8ae-4dc5-b7a7-bfbed89a2834/buzz.png MORE Logo for The Buzz Daily News Network, featuring a red shield with white text and the words 'Business, Leadership, Community', with the title 'Daily News Network' in black and gray leading to an interview with Jacksonville Midwife Kimberley Homer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/8a581b8e-1b18-42ff-9d8b-643b7c014912/1000000512.jpg MORE Family celebrating the home birth of a newborn baby in a cozy home setting, with a man, woman, and older women gathered around the parents, who are holding the baby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/803c16d4-8df0-4bb7-9ede-66e2779dbec2/VoyageJacksonville-1-240x240.jpg MORE Black background with white text that says 'VoyageJacksonville' in which the link leads to an article about a black Jacksonville Midwife, Kimberley Homer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e73886b138e336e3847c24d/b55d06d2-26a3-4336-be38-96349f8fd136/1000005218.jpg MORE A Jacksonville Midwife, listening to her patients baby using a fetal Doppler during a prenatal visit.
