Hello. My name is Harmony Miller. I am the midwife at
Rosemary Birthing Home. I grew up in Port St. Lucie,
Florida. I am the fourth child of eight. One of whose
homebirth I attended at the age of 2.
Believe it or not, I studied technical theatre before
I became a midwife. While in college at Florida State
University for lighting design, I had the privilege of
witnessing a home birth. I was changed. So was my
major. I immediately started taking classes toward an
RN degree. I wanted to be a midwife. I read everything
I could get my hands on about birth and attended every
childbirth education series in town. It was during
this time that my goddaughter Skylah Blue was born.
Her mother was my best friend and college roommate. I
had the great honor of attending her birth. When
Skylah was born I fell to my knees crying. I had
witnessed the most sacred thing that had ever
happened. My life was forever changed. At Skylah's
birth I met a midwifery student. She told me about The
Florida School of Traditional Midwifery. I immediately
registered for classes.
During this time I also became a Doula and attended
many home and birth center births in Tallahassee and
surrounding areas. While in school, I apprenticed at
the Birth Cottage, a freestanding birth center in
Tallahassee. I worked at the Birth Cottage for 4
years. During which time I graduated from midwifery
school, having attended hundreds of births.
Before moving to Sarasota in 2006, I lived in
Monticello Fl. There I lived in a small cabin in the
woods. I had chickens and a small garden. I had a
homebirth practice assisting women in N. Florida.
Birth is my passion. I truly love what I do. I feel
honored to be invited to participate in the greatest
miracle of childbirth. I enjoy watching families
support one another. I love seeing a woman do more
than she ever thought possible and be born as a
mother. I specialize in water birth and feel it is
the gentlest entrance for a newborn baby.
I am a certified lactation counselor. I am certified
in neonatal resuscitation, and CPR. I hold a Florida
License to practice Midwifery (LM). I also hold a
national certification as a certified professional
midwife (CPM).
