Rates and Services
I offer free initial consultations for those who are exploring their birth options. Remember, this is "Your Birth—YOUR WAY" for home birth, water birth, father assisted or using alternative pain management to make this and your future ones special births.
I offer personalized care that cannot be found through any other maternity practitioner. Midwives guard the natural process and use common obstetrical intervention only as a last resort. Thus, they have little need for episiotomy and have fewer cases of fetal distress. Their continuity of care reduces the need for cesarean sections and inductions and even increases the mother's pain tolerance.

Are midwifery services affordable? Midwifery charges are usually around one-eighth the cost of hospital delivery. Some insurance companies cover licensed midwife charges. If paying cash, installments are made to cover the balance by the ninth month.
