SERVICES

 I offer complete midwifery care for pregnancy, labor, birth, and the first six weeks postpartum at home. I am licensed to care normal newborns for the first 6 weeks of life. All the initial midwifery care of the newborn is included in the service. 

Prenatal visits are scheduled once every four weeks until the 28th week of pregnancy, then once every two weeks until the 36th week, followed by once every week until birth. Visits tend to last on average approximately 2 hours, so that we have time to get to know each other. address concerns, and build rapport.

Prenatal visits include basic prenatal exams as well as holistic support for nutrition, supplement, and wellness. Most of the time is spent listening and talking with the mother and her family. I specialize in providing emotional support and encouragement for the changes and concerns of pregnancy and the transformational aspects of the Childbearing Year. I have seen that the emotional connection is the primary factor in helping women find their own pathway to birthing on their own terms; in a way that is personally meaningful to them, at home.

I attend the birth from the time I am needed; or, from active labor and until mom and baby are stable after delivery- a minimum of two hours postpartum. 

Midwives generally attend births in pairs.  In most cases a second Licensed Midwife will attend births with me and occasionally I work with trained birth assistants. 

Postpartum care includes postpartum and newborn exams and support at home on Day One, Day Three, and Day Seven, as well as a follow up visit in Week Two and a final visit for mother and baby  in Week Six.

All of the midwifery care and services are provided in your home. Please use my contact form to schedule a complimentary consultation or text me at 805 245 1551
