My experiences as a birth and postpartum doula, midwife assistant, and lactation support specialist have given me invaluable knowledge and skills. My passion for maternal and infant health led me to establish Birth Work South Florida, which offers childbirth and breastfeeding preparatory courses, parent education series, and postpartum support. Kamilah and her team provide customized responses to all queries, and offer a range of comfort measures, guidance, and encouragement to help families achieve a natural hospital, home, or birth center birth.
