The Birth Place is a unique full-service facility providing world-class midwifery and womens health care, in which our patients' safety and well being always comes first. We strive to create a supportive, educational experience in a relaxed, friendly, and professional environment.
The Birth Place birthing center grew out of the 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 that same care in a home-like environment.
Our office provides quality, affordable women’s health care for female health consultations, breast/pelvic exam and pap smears, including breast thermography, as well as nutrition and herbal counseling. We also offer saliva testing for hormonal diagnosis of perimenopausal symptoms.
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.

Jennie Joseph's amazing photo journal depicts the impact of her maternal child healthcare system, The JJ Way™, on positive pregnancy outcomes. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book goes to support Jennie's non-profit agency Commonsense Childbirth which provides the opportunity for every woman to have a healthy pregnancy and birth.
Author and Midwife Ina May Gaskin endorses Jennie Joseph's Book.
"Jennie Joseph's book Beautiful! is rich in words and images that will inspire women who live in a culture which floods them with negative messages about their ability to bring a healthy baby into the world. Many of the triumphant, gorgeous women depicted in this book began their pregnancies in trouble. Their photographs and stories bear witness to the transformative power of pregnancy and birth, coupled with tender, skilled midwifery care such as that provided by Ms. Joseph and her staff."
We wanted to make sure you are all aware of the news story that has exploded over the last 24 hours regarding the recent AMA Resolution against homebirth and Ricki's response to being named in it.
In February of this year, one month after the premiere of BOBB, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) reiterated its long-standing opposition to home births. In an obtuse reference to The Business of Being Born, ACOG stated, "Childbirth decisions should not be dictated or influenced by what's fashionable, trendy, or the latest cause célèbre." If that wasn't enough, ACOG, this past weekend, introduced a resolution to the American Medical Association (AMA) at their annual meeting. The resolution commits the AMA to "develop model legislation in support of the concept that the safest setting for labor, delivery, and the immediate post-partum period is in the hospital...". The reasoning for this resolution begins, "Whereas, There has been much attention in the media by celebrities having home deliveries, with recent Today Show headings such as "Ricki Lake takes on baby birthing industry: Actress and former talk show host shares her at-home delivery in new film...". (Resolution 205, click here to read).
Since when did Ricki become an evidence-based data point? What are they so afraid of?

Our very own Robyn Mattox has returned to The Birth Place family after working with our friends at the Labor of Love Birth Center in Tampa. For those of you who don't know, Robyn grew into the amazing midwife that she is having got her start as a birth assistant, doula and childbirth educator with me 'way back when'! She went on to attend midwifery school, apprenticed with me and graduated in 2004.
Robyn was instrumental in joining with me in setting up The Birth Place birthing center in Winter Garden in 2003 and we are thrilled to have her back. Robyn has been a firm believer in The Birth Place's philosophy of care, the midwifery model and The JJ Way. She has my total endorsement as one of the most competent and conscientious midwives in the area, and if you don't know her you will soon realize she is a total sweetheart as well. As I meet the demands of representing midwifery and The JJ Way in the greater community I am happy to have such a reliable practitioner to help me meet all of your maternity helath care needs as well.
