Our Philosophy
Our midwifery philosophy is rooted in the belief that pregnancy and childbirth are natural processes, fundamentally health-promoting events in a woman's life. At Panama City Community Birth & Wellness, we believe that when the mother is undisturbed, the beauty of YOUR birth is allowed to follow its natural course. We recognize that each pregnancy is unique, and we honor the individual needs and choices of mothers and families. We inherently believe in you, your baby, and your family!
Central to our philosophy is the idea of informed choice. We provide comprehensive education, resources, and support to empower families to make decisions that align with their values and preferences. This partnership fosters trust and open communication, ensuring that families feel safe and supported throughout their maternity journey.
We prioritize a calm and nurturing environment, whether in the comfort of home, during a water birth, or in a community setting. Our goal is to facilitate a positive and empowering birth experience, promoting the well-being of both mother and baby.
Additionally, we advocate for respect in all aspects of care. We recognize the importance of cultural sensitivity and strive to honor diverse traditions and beliefs related to childbirth. Our midwifery practice is committed to providing compassionate care that respects the dignity and autonomy of every individual.
Ultimately, our midwifery philosophy emphasizes the strength and capability of women, supporting their journey into motherhood with care, respect, and evidence-based practices.

Midwife + Founder
When Alora found her way to women’s health, it was then that her fire was lit. Midwifery serves as a blend of many of Alora’s passions: supporting and educating women, the awe of science and nature, and the privilege of witnessing families welcome new life.
Alora is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) through the North American Registry of Midwives and a Licensed Midwife (LM) in the state of Florida. She also has a Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Science from Brigham Young University. She believes that pregnancy, birth, and motherhood are opportunities for transformation and healing. She believes that every woman and family can benefit from the midwifery model, which focuses on client-centered, holistic, and individualized care. She cares deeply about her clients and hopes to provide the education and resources they need to be able to make choices for themselves.
Outside of her work as a midwife, Alora can mostly likely be found outside with her husband, three year old daughter and one year old son. She is grounded in her faith in Jesus Christ and is a lover of all things adventurous—including a day on the water, hiking the quaint mountain landscapes in the west, or wrangling the livestock animals on their family’s small farm. She enjoys a good meal with family and friends. Her warm demeanor and unwavering dedication to her clients make her an invaluable asset to the Bay County and surrounding areas.
