Full prenatal care, home birth and postpartum care for you and your baby!
The relationship with your midwife is important, the trust we build as we get to know each other is a vital aspect of keeping out-of-hospital birth safe. I would love to meet you for a free consultation and discuss any questions you might have, tell you a little about myself and my midwifery practice and get to know each other!
My midwifery base fee is $5,500. I believe in transparency, so I’m very upfront about what I charge and what you can expect in return:
- Midwife’s 24/7 availability by phone, text, or email
- The midwife assistant fee (most providers charge an extra $500 for this fee)
