Naomi nechama ruza
I have been working in birth for over 15 years. It has been my honor to have supported women as a doula, a birth assistant, an teacher, a midwife, and as a mother.
My Philosophy
EDUCATION
I believe that every woman deserves to be educated about the birth process and her choices throughout her pregnancy and birth.
RESPECT
I believe that each woman’s voice deserves to be heard and her choices are to be respected above all else.
INTUITION
I believe in the wisdom of the body and the intuition of the mother. I see myself as a guide and a caretaker and my role is to safeguard you on your journey. I do not own your birth nor dictate your choices.

In Florida, Licensed Midwives (LMs) are fully autonomous
and provide full-scope maternity care for low-risk people and collaborative care with obstetricians for people with risk factors.
They are not required to have any practice agreement with a doctor.
Florida licensed midwives meet their communities' needs in a variety of settings: clients' homes, birth centers, clinics, and hospital facilities. In collaboration with a physician they may also provide care for people whose pregnancies require medical supervision.

Client Testimonials
S.P.
For both of my pregnancies, Nechama provided the level of care, comfort, trust and knowledge
that we had not found elsewhere.
We were able to make the best choices for our family which resulted in beautiful and safe births because Nechama provided us with all the guidance and expertise we needed in order to make informed decisions. Her ability to be fully present with us throughout our journey allowed us to feel held in the experience absent of fear and able to enjoy every moment.
C.G.
I was fortunate to have Nechama as a support for both of my last births.
Despite being in the hospital, Nechama was able to create a little bubble of serenity for me to calmly birth my babies. Nechama is very knowledgeable & on point, in her quiet and unassuming manner meets the needs of the mama - whatever they might be!
