Some places hold more than memories. They hold beginnings.
Since 2007, these rooms have been part of the birth stories of Pinellas County families who believed something different was possible.
A place where birth could unfold with patience. Where mothers could be heard. Where families could welcome their babies surrounded by warmth and skilled midwifery care.
When the former birth center closed, our community wasn’t ready to let that vision disappear.
In April 2025, Guiding Star Tampa Bay opened its doors in this beloved space, carrying its history forward with a renewed mission and familiar midwives.
The name has changed. The rooms have new stories to tell. But the belief that mothers deserve choices in birth lives on.
Nearly 20 years of beginnings. And we’re just getting started.
Come see these beautiful rooms for yourself.
