Welcome TO Kindred

At Kindred Holistic Midwifery, we are more than prenatal care and delivering babies. What sets us apart is our ability to serve the whole family, during pre-conception and throughout the childbearing year, as you welcome a new life into the world. We are all in this together.
NEWS: As an FSTM alumni, I am relocating from Central Florida to Gainesville starting in June to continue my position as a program assistant and core faculty member. I’ll begin taking clients due in late fall and winter. Please fill out the contact form to schedule your free consultation. I will be most happy to answer any questions you have while you are researching your local options for midwifery care.

This woman is the reason my beautiful son Anthony Leif made it into this world. Her divine energy grounded me during my extremely long birthing process. She kept me focused and surrounded me with the love and support I needed to bring a 9 pound baby boy into our lives. I’m so grateful for her presence during and after my birth. What speaks volumes is the huge smiles that come from Anthony when he gets to see Elena—he is drawn to her… I carry so much gratitude in my heart for her presence in our lives!

Elena is AMAZING! She is beyond qualified and highly experienced. If she was serving my county, I’d still have her at my births. I know she will bless another mom with wonderful support to help her have the birth she desires.

During my last pregnancy, Elena treated me with warmth, encouragement, love, and respect. I’ve known her for ten years, and in all that time she has impressed me with her genuine love for and dedication to the women she serves. If I have another, I hope Elena can be my midwife.

I would have been up a creek if Elena wasn’t there for the birth of my son Forrest. She was able to get my wife’s mind in tune with the process and delivered the baby shortly thereafter. Thank you, Elena Rosa! I have many more reasons than this to think she will be the best midwife ever!

Elena is very knowledgeable and experienced in helping families through their birth journeys. She’s dedicated to her work and was truly there for me through my very long labor. I felt like she was my guardian, my friend, and my rock during my daughter’s birth. Elena has valuable skills, stamina for days, and cat-like reflexes! Haha! I’m very grateful for her.

Elena went above and beyond for my wife and me during the birth of our second child. She is professional, passionate, assertive, and has great communication skills. I felt that she had our back and was sincere in her caring for us. We had a long labor experience, and she stuck by our side through it all. I’m amazed at her dedication to achieving the outcomes my wife had decided on regarding her birth experience. Overall, I am very happy with Elena’s service, and I highly recommend her.

N.E.

Not only did I get to witness Elena make her way through the direct entry midwifery program, but I also got to witness her perseverance. She never let anything stop her from reaching her goal, and I have full confidence in her strong, peaceful mind to help mommas get through their own personal journeys of pregnancy and birth! I wholeheartedly recommend Elena as your future midwife.

Elena was so supportive during my pregnancies, but even more so after my births. She assisted me during my first labor with massage and encouragement, aiding me in getting through transition. My second pregnancy, she attended my birth as my doula and was there when my daughter was born. After, she showed me infant massage techniques and shared her other holistic knowledge and skills with my family. She has such a calm, peaceful presence, and her positivity makes her a wonderful person to have in your corner. It’s obvious the happiness and joy she feels for her profession. Her smiling face during my labors is a cherished memory.

Elena Rosa by far is one hell of a woman! Not only is she real, she is genuine, honest, spiritual, loving, kind hearted, respectful, understanding, strong willed, intelligent, inspiring, healthy. I could go on and on. I trust her wholeheartedly. You, my friend, were born to do this!

Elena was a tremendously stabilizing and strength-giving part of my son’s birth. She was focused, attentive and encouraging to me and my birth team through the entire process. Her care made the labor, delivery and bonding process with my son so perfect. I cannot endorse anyone more whole-heartedly. She really knew exactly what we needed and when we needed it. Elena has a passion for midwifery and an ease with people that makes her feel like you’ve known her forever. She is a true gift.

Elena is everything! She was my doula during a birth center delivery. Her massage techniques alleviated the pains that come with labor. She brings an amazing peace to the delivery space. She knows how to read a mother in labor—she knew what I needed before I did. Thank you for helping me through my labor. Thank you for helping me bring my sweet Dylan into the world!

My first interaction with Elena I was far into my pregnancy, sick as a dog, and I cried as I tried to tell her all the things I was trying to do to get well. She was so kind and let me cry and encouraged me and gave me suggestions to kick the sickness before it was time for delivery. Then several weeks later, the night I went to labor when I found out Elena was on call, I was SO excited. She was an amazing support during my delivery and I can’t imagine anyone else helping me bring my precious son into the world.

Elena is amazing! I am so grateful for the incredible birth experience I had. Even though I was having my first child at 43 years old, I was confident and practically fearless, because I was prepared, and I had Elena on my caregiving team. Elena is such a natural midwife/caregiver. She listened to my concerns and questions attentively with a genuinely caring heart. Her knowledge was obvious and reassuring. Her answers were thoughtful, wise and empowering. Elena is an amazing coach and motivator. I had been in labor a little while when Elena arrived at my home, and immediately I felt more at peace. Whenever I thought I wouldn’t make it, Elena reassured me I was doing great and was right on track. What a blessing! I wish I could have many more births to relive the experience; of course, this is not practical, so I hope you will live it for me. I highly recommend Elena and could go on for many more pages discussing her remarkable qualities. Choose her. You will thank yourself and welcome her into your family. Best wishes. With love.

When Elena first entered our home, I was so far into my labor everything was a blur around me, but I sure do remember the feeling I got when she walked in that room. The energy she brought with her that day gave me a sense of relaxation and confidence. At some point before I roared my baby out, she simply laid her hands on me and I drifted into sleep between my last surges. She somehow found a way to pretzel herself into the small area provided for her when we made it to the birth pool. I remember her talking me through my last pushes with confident but gentle sound. Once our girl made it into my arms, the day continued to be an adventure of things happening, but there was never a moment I questioned her ability to care for me. Elena was everything I needed that day. She is an amazing midwife, a beautiful soul, and a gentle healer.

Elena was amazing during my labor and delivery! I was 41.5 weeks and had been going through start and stop contractions for weeks. Elena came over and provided a prenatal Arvigo therapy treatment in order to get the baby into a better position and prepare my body for labor, and it for sure worked! Our little angel arrived about 6 hours later. We were so grateful for Elena’s experience, skills, and support throughout the whole process! Thank you!

Elena has been working in this field for years. She’s passionate about helping women and comes from a sincere place of love and understanding. Her treatment for me was professional and relaxing at the same time. She offered a variety of holistic treatments, and I felt very safe with her. She listened greatly to my concerns and helped guide me on my own healing process with positive coaching. I highly recommend her!

I met Elena when I got pregnant after my second miscarriage and diagnosis of the MTHFR gene mutation.  I was a nervous, anxious wreck.  All I know is that when she entered into my life during that pregnancy, everything changed for me.  I felt she had just as much knowledge as the actual seasoned midwives that were working with me, which says a lot being that she was a student midwife at the time. She participated in my prenatal care for that entire pregnancy.  She was an incredibly calming force.  She showed me care, concern, and understanding.  My prenatal care with her became the highlight of my pregnancy. Those visits went from me feeling anxious and worried to where I laughed, joked, and felt excited about being pregnant. I do owe that to Elena.  When I went into labor, I remember the exact moment I looked up and saw Elena come through the door.  Seconds later, the smell of lavender filled my senses and I immediately felt calm.  Just having her there for me, providing reassurance and offering me things that helped me calm myself enabling me to transition into bringing my baby earthside.  Well I did it, and my baby was perfect and beautiful. I recommend Elena for homebirth and midwifery care.

You are a natural midwife! You were strong, caring, gentle, empathetic, in a word: indispensable, at my homebirth

Thank you especially to Elena, our perfect midwife. I so appreciated and needed your guidance and strong confidence. You were a calm, reasonable voice when I needed to know what to do and how to do it. You have no idea our gratitude. I am so full of love and appreciation for you. Thank you for an amazing birth experience I will remember forever.
