Dawn Meier, LM

Licensed Midwife

Dawn earned a psychology degree from Wright University in Dayton, Oh. After studying birth trauma and having a c-section with her first-born, she was inspired to facilitate peaceful, natural birth and she became a doula. Shortly after, Dawn was led to become a direct-entry midwife and she enrolled at Manna School of Midwifery and Health Sciences in Bonita Springs, Fl.

Dawn attended many births in homes, birth centers, and hospitals throughout Southwest Florida, Jamaica and Guatemala as a part of her training. Upon her graduation in 2001 she opened a small home birth practice and also began working as a staff midwife at the Family Birth Centers (Naples & Fort Myers)

March of 2005, she took over The Family Birth Center of Naples where she remains the owner and Director. She has studied homeopathy at Florida Academy of Classical Homeopathy and has added many other modalities to her practice over the years. Dawn also enjoys teaching and has been a preceptor for over 40 student midwives and physician assistants, passing on the tradition and practice of the midwifery model of care.
