Midwifery Care

We provide comprehensive prenatal care throughout all of your pregnancy. Care starts whenever you are ready and is concluded at about 6 weeks postpartum. It includes all check-ups for both mama and baby during that time. Education is of utmost importance and we strive to provide tools, information and resources all throughout your care so that you can make the right decisions for your family. We stress the importance of nutrition for growing a healthy baby thus optimizing the chances of a smooth, natural delivery. Our prenatal appointments are never rushed. We will take time to address any questions and concerns that you have. Truly informed choice is our specialty. During our appointments we spend time discussing the purposes for the tests, labs and treatments offered. We know that you are the best decision maker when it comes to your care.

Breastfeeding Support

$200 for up to 4 hours of assistance

Breastfeeding can be one of the most emotionally challenging, yet rewarding experiences a mother ever has the privilege to accept. And along with the relationship that is built between mother and baby, your baby will receive the very best, complete nutrition possible.

The need that your new baby has to be breastfed goes far beyond the excellent nutrition. Your baby needs that time close to you. They need that touch, that skin-to-skin contact. They need to know that you are there to protect them. Your baby needs to hear your heartbeat, feel your warmth and bask in every close moment you give at the breast.

For you, breastfeeding should be a time for rest and relaxation, a time to take a break from the world around you and just enjoy the smell, touch and feel of your baby. This time of bonding is an amazing opportunity for both mother and baby.

It is rewarding to witness the bond grow between a mother and her baby as their nursing relationship matures. Breastfeeding is natural...true enough, but learning to breastfeed is something altogether different. It is my goal to help every new mother succeed at breastfeeding. In addition to being a midwife, I am certified as a Breastfeeding Counselor and offer one-on-one counseling and hands-on support to help mothers master this amazing skill.

Often times getting help early is the key to correcting the problem quickly. Waiting too long never makes it impossible, but it does make it much more difficult.

I offer individual consultation and support and appointments may take place in your home or at my office. This also includes phone support, texts, and online assistance through video calls, Facebook and/or email. Time is deducted as it is used and if more time is needed you can simply purchase an additional 4 hours.

Placenta Encapsulation

Placental Preservation is one of the best ways to help maintain good postpartum health. Having done it myself, and seen the difference it made, I am a believer in its benefits. I am often asked what my recommendations are for placenta processing. I usually suggest encapsulation and at least two tinctures. This is only an opinion, but I feel it allows you to enjoy benefits through the capsules soon after birth and have the tinctures to use long after the pills are gone. And as stated below tinctures last forever and can even be saved for menopause.

Options include...
Encapsulation $250
Encapsulation consists of drying and preserving the placenta in easy to swallow capsules. They are readily available to you when you need them and are taken to help maintain a balance of hormones in the weeks after birth. Using Sterile Technique to ensure health and safety, your placenta will be processed and returned swiftly, usually within 2-3 days.

Tinctures $40 each or $60 each without encapsulation
Tinctures are small glass containers filled with distilled liquid that has been used to extract the hormones and nutrients from the placenta through an aging process. The contents are potent and only a very small amount is needed to take effect. Tinctures can be used for maintaining good long term health for both you and your baby. They should be stored out of direct sunlight and last for years. They can even be saved and used as supplements during menopause. The process takes several weeks to complete but is well worth the wait. Once completed your tinctures will be delivered to you.

Raw Processing $200
Consuming placenta in its rawest form is simple and an easy way to receive the wonderful nutritional value that your placenta has to offer. Rinsing and cutting into bite sized pieces and placing in the freezer is very easy to do, but it is very time consuming. When your baby arrives it is important that you and your partner are available to focus on your baby's needs. We offer complete Raw Processing right in your home. We provide all supplies and will have your placenta in simple bite size pieces and in your freezer without you having to worry about a thing. These little pieces can be added to a meal, pureed in a smoothie, or eaten raw. It's up to you.
