Her passion for birth work and extensive knowledge made me feel well cared for throughout my pregnancy as a first time mom and helped my somewhat skeptical husband feel comfortable with the home birth experience from the moment we met her. Christa prioritizes informed consent and made sure I completely understood all my options for every decision I had to make throughout my pregnancy. Every appointment was a safe space to ask as many questions as I had and talk through any concerns about pregnancy, the birth, and beyond. I especially appreciated that Christa offers tremendous postpartum support that you won’t find with most providers. I would definitely recommend Coastal Midwifery to anybody who is considering having a home birth in south Florida!

I have experience with birth houses and other midwifes, Coastal Midwifery is absolutely amazing up to date research, years of experience and heart filled with love. Always felt comfortable and cared for. Responsive via texts and helpful with range of questions. Had a home birth and if ever do it again would only do with Costal Midwifery. Even my husband who is more leaning to medical model of birth felt very safe with Coastal Midwifery. We were taken care way and beyond. Thank you!

Prenatal, birth and postpartum care with Christa has been such a fantastic experience for me and my family. The specialized level of midwifery care and time spent getting to know you, your body and your baby is truly unmatched. Christa is so calm and calming, so knowledgeable and is so very good at her job. Christa also has a very buttoned up practice with great organization, recommendations for everything you could need and she is a great communicator. Every pregnant person should be fortunate enough to experience the level of care and trust in the body and the birthing process that Christa offers.

I’d never known care like this from medical professionals; I felt beyond heard and supported throughout my entire pregnancy and birth. Christa is patient and kind, addressing every concern. Cannot recommend her practice enough! Patricia Janet RuizSeptember 18, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I are beyond grateful to have found Christa and her team. This was my first home birth and I would have not changed a thing about it. Christa is extremely knowledgeable, warm, and helpful. Her years of practice and experience give her the tools to be prepared in any situation. My son had a shoulder dystocia and both her and Kelly were quick to change my birthing position and help maneuver him out. In a situation as delicate as this, she was calm and collected and never panicked. Thank you Christa for such a wonderful experience from beginning to end!

I immediately connected with Christa upon meeting her and knew she had to be my midwife for my first home birth. She is so knowledgable, experienced, supportive, empowering and relaxed which I found was really special to find. She has a clear love for babies and her work, and I had complete trust in her which made my life 10x easier. It was so wonderful having the continued 1:1 appointments to address anything and everything that came mind. She fully set my husband and I up for success in taking care of our baby without even having to know what questions to ask, and I really appreciated the level of care dedicated to my not only physical, but emotional and mental wellbeing in the postpartum period as well. She gave me so much confidence and empowered me leading up to and while birthing and is a big believer in listening to your body/ following your intuition which I found to be so important- nothing was forced! If you're looking for a midwife in South Florida, I highly recommend Christa! Maria RadcliffeJuly 17, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christa was PHENOMENAL! This was my second home birth. I was very nervous since I moved here from Illinois and my first home birth was there. Christa had such a loving, calm, and professional demeanor at every appointment! My second birth came on extremely fast and Christa and her team were such an excellent support system. I am so grateful to have found such an amazing Midwife! I recommend her to anyone and everyone I met! Brett LowyJune 16, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience was beyond words outstanding. Everything was explained in perfect detail to us and we felt extremely comfortable and happy throughout the entire process from our first visit and all the way post birth. We would not choose anyone else for our Home birth, we were blown away with the professionalism and Care that was given to my wife and our baby throughout this entire journey.

I knew right when we met her that she was the one we wanted by my side during this incredibly special time in my life. I looked forward to every prenatal visit with her. I didn’t feel like I was going to a doctors appointment, I felt like I was going to see a friend. Throughout my pregnancy, she was a constant source of comfort and support, answering all of my questions and concerns with patience and expertise. I tell everyone that she is literally a wizard. Anything that came up for me through pregnancy, she had a natural remedy for and when I say every single one worked… every single recommendation she gave was incredible. Even when it came time to find a pediatrician or I wanted a prenatal massage, she had recommendations and it feels so good to know it is coming from someone you trust so deeply. She always took the time during our visits to talk about all sorts of things, not just pregnancy and birth related so that we all got to know each other and build a relationship. That was really special to me. I cried during our last visit thinking about the fact that I won’t get to see her weekly or monthly anymore. When it came time for the actual birth, she was nothing short of a miracle worker. Her presence was so reassuring, and I felt confident and empowered throughout the entire process. Christa knew when I needed to just labor on my own and when I needed some extra support. When it came time to push, Christa helped me through the most challenging moments all while encouraging me that I was so strong and could do it without her… but having her made all the difference. Christa was willing to give me the extra time I needed to push my baby out in the water since she knew having a water birth was so important to me. When it came time that I might need to shift into another position, she was able to motivate me in a way that made push through and get my baby out safely and still in the water! When my baby finally arrived, it was the most beautiful moment of my life. Christa helped me bring my little man into the world with such grace and care, and I will never forget the feeling of pure happiness and love that washed over me in that moment. Christa stayed with me for hours after the birth, making sure both my baby and I were comfortable and healthy. She made that time feel so special and not medical at all even though she was taking care of all the medical necessities. I will always remember those moments after, when it felt like we were all just hanging out, laughing and joking with my new baby boy. It was so incredible to have the birth I also envisioned for myself come to life and that is because Christa listens to what you want and does everything within her power to make sure you get the birth you desire and deserve. I feel so incredibly grateful to have had such a wonderful midwife by my side during this life-changing experience. She is truly a gifted and compassionate person who made the birth of my baby a truly unforgettable and beautiful moment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I had been lucky enough to have a hospital VBAC, and knew I wanted to try again but not in a hospital. Christa made sure to answer all of my questions from our first meeting. Each visit thereafter, Christa made me feel safe and reassured me that I was making a great choice for me and my baby. I felt supported the entire time and she was quick to answer anything that came up even outside of our appointments. I had a beautiful delivery, and postpartum, thanks to the wealth of information she provided. I honestly wouldn’t trade her in for anything. If I have anymore babies, she will definitely be the only person I go to and my only recommendation for friends/family in south florida
