About Us

• Celebrate Birth is an independent midwifery practice specializing in natural childbirth. It is owned and operated by Melissa Conord-Morrow, LM, and is the only birth center in Polk County, FL. Melissa, along with fellow Licensed Midwives Michelle Hannah and Amy Truglio, serve women in pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. ​ The birth center was opened in 1985 and named "Labor of Love" by midwife CharLynn Daughtrey. It was here that Melissa came for two of her pregnancies and where she began her own journey towards midwifery. In 2013, she and her husband James took over and renamed the center "Celebrate Birth." For over 30 years this home-like setting has been a welcoming place for mothers and their families in the childbearing years. ​ We offer women a variety of options for prenatal care, all designed to best meet their needs and preferences while maintaining the health and safety of their baby. Our clients can feel empowered through being an active participant in their pregnancy and childbirth experience. We are honored to be a part of this beautiful season of a woman's life.
