Why Kindred?
At Kindred Holistic Midwifery, we are not limited to just prenatal care and delivering babies. What sets us apart is our ability to serve the whole family, from pre-conception throughout the childbearing year, as you welcome the newest life into the world. Whether you are currently pregnant or trying to conceive, our unique model of care includes Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT), allowing us to hold space on your journey to parenthood with healing therapeutic bodywork, emphasizing the importance of maintaining self-care, and meeting nutritional requirements with whole foods.
We perform an extensive intake to develop a deep understanding of your physical, emotional, and social needs, and provide appropriate resources to support a healthy outcome. Midwife Elena then recommends a variety of herbal teas, tinctures, massage oils, and supplements for supporting your reproductive health and overall wellness. We offer several convenient amenity packages to meet your budget and reproductive needs.
Our goal is to provide the utmost professional care to each client and treat each person as an individual, safely, respectfully, and with dignity and steadfast support.
Evolution of Kindred
Birthed from the wisdom gained through the lives that have touched mine, Kindred Holistic Midwifery combines my experience as a bodyworker and midwife, enabling me to provide a unique and integrated model of care. As a graduate of the Florida College of Natural Health, I maintained a Florida massage therapy license from 2002-2019, applying hands-on bodywork and subtle energy work techniques and many other tools I’ve gathered throughout my career.
Upon reading Spiritual Midwifery, I connected with birth stories that described what I knew inherently: that birth is a healthy, natural part of life. Realizing my passion and advocacy for midwifery, I began working as a doula and birth assistant, and participated in the Birthing the Future Birth Advocate Training. This path led me toward the Florida School of Traditional Midwifery in 2013, graduating in 2017 and becoming a licensed midwife in the spring of 2018.
In tandem with my academic and clinical requirements, I attended the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy (ATMAT) Self Care Training, Professional Care Training, and Advanced Pregnancy Training workshops, the perfect complement to my love of bodywork, midwifery, and women’s health at all stages of life. This invaluable experience broadened my perspective of the womb, the pelvic floor, and reproductive and sexual health—effectively bridging my roots as a massage therapist and my purpose as a licensed midwife.
I am honored to offer these services to my community and am committed to making the world a better place through physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual healing.
