Free Consulatation
Prospective clients are encouraged to schedule a free one hour consultation to discuss their plans and meet with a midwife to see if we would work well together.

Prenatal visits once monthly until 32 weeks, every two weeks until 36 weeks and then weekly until birth.
Routine labs and most additional testing can be done in the office.
Additional referrals to other providers will be provided as needed.

A home birth kit containing necessary supplies, including towels and bed linens, will be delivered to your home at your home visit. ($50 cleaning/restocking fee)
Your Birth Assistant fee ($300) will also be due at this time.
