The Birth Place is a unique full-service facility providing world-class midwifery and womens health care. We strive to create a supportive, educational experience in a relaxed, friendly and professional environment.

The Birth Place grew from a need for quality midwifery services in the greater Orlando area. Jennie Joseph has provided home-birth services for Florida women since 1995 and as her practice grew it became apparent that she could only be in one place at a time! The solution - a birth center providing quality, affordable women's health care and in which our patients' safety and well being always comes first.
A birthing center birth offers you the ultimate midwifery birthing experience. A safe, natural approach to your delivery, coupled with personalized attention and support is our goal for you at The Birth Place. Healthy women experiencing healthy pregnancies are encouraged to use our birthing options to enhance their experience. Family and sibling involvement is always welcome.
We pride ourselves at The Birth Place with having the healthiest, best looking babies in the area! Jennie works extremely hard to involve you and your family as team players with one goal in mind - a full-term, chubby baby.

Her proven system of midwifery management has successfully reduced infant mortality, low birth weight and premature babies in her practice. Her methods, known as The JJ Way®, have been developed over 25 years of practice and she has trained many student midwives, staff members and peers.
Commonsense Childbirth has depended on donations and volunteers since it's inception. 100% of your financial donation goes towards providing prenatal care, lab services, educational classes or emergency transportation to our clinic.

Please check out Christy's website where she explains her position and activism on this extremely important issue. Maternal mortality is rife in many third world countries but unfortunately is also becoming an issue for the USA. Rising cesarean rates, more interventions and less access to quality maternity care. Choosing midwifery care is hands down the safest way I know to get a full-term healthy baby and the healthiest mother possible.
Model Christy Turlington has released this powerful film about the sad state of maternal mortality and its effects. The Birth Place is featured as part of the American side of the story and we are thankful for the visionary work of people like Christy who are bringing the plight of pregnant women, worldwide, to the forefront. Thanks too for your support for what we are doing at The Birth Place.
Jennie will be the screening on the 28th April. View event details.
