You might work with me if…

You are someone who knows what you want and that does not include waiting in an OB’s office for an hour only to be seen for 5 minutes with no time for questions.

You don’t like fear filled language

You don’t appreciate body or size shaming or discrimination

You want a provider who is taking anti-racsim work seriously and knows that you deserve to be listened to (I have recommendations for black and brown providers if you would prefer someone of your same race)

You’re not exactly dazzled when your doc wants to schedule a Cesarean birth because they think your baby is too big and you won’t be able to push it out (or, really, any other negative thing they may say about your body)

You don’t appreciate appreciate being dismissed or asked if “you’ve been talking to Dr. Google” when you bring up concerns.

You’ve had some birth trauma that you don’t care to repeat.

You know you’re not sick when you’re pregnant and don’t want to be treated as if you are. Natural remedies preferred!

Maybe you’ve watched The Business of Being Born and the thought that any health care provider would make a recommendation regarding your health care based on personal convenience, money or ANYTHING other than the best interest of you and your baby is horrifying.

You an intelligent human and you expect to be treated that way.

You’re in the right place, I’ve got just what you need!

Home Birth

Homebirth is a magical way to make the journey into parenthood. A service based on respect and informed choice that is family centered from the first prenatal visit through the last postpartum visit.

The Home Birth package includes a free consultation, all prenatal visits, nutrition and supplement counseling, birth tub rental, labor and delivery, water birth, a thorough newborn exam, breastfeeding help, 3-5 postpartum home visits, a 6 week postpartum visit and paperwork for the birth certificate and social security card.

I only take 2-3 clients per month. Keeping my client load small allows for more personalized care, decreases my chance of having two clients in labor at once and gives you a more rested and alert midwife on the day of!

– $5,700

Insurance can be billed by our independent insurance biller.

IUI- Intrauterine

Insemination

I am so happy to provide IUI either in my office or in your home.

This is perfect for hopeful single parents, couples without sperm in their relationship and those wanting to utilize IUI for any other reason. This service includes info on ovulation tracking, sperm washing if necessary and IUI.

-$300 per IUI (it’s often recommended to do 2 per cycle)

There is an additional $100 charge to prepare sperm from a known donor

There is an additional $50 charge per home visit, if requested

Reproductive Health Care

Reproductive care can be sterile and uncomfortable but I try to make it feel more like a warm hug. During a visit, we have time to talk about things that matter to you and hopefully you’ll leave feeling like you hung out with a friend rather than a doctor. I can provide any combination of the following: PAPs, breast exams, self breast exam instruction, blood work, STD testing, and hormone testing as well as herbal, homeopathic and supplement counseling.

-$60 for a 1/2 hour visit, $120 for an hour visit. Lab fees charged separately or billed to insurance.

Vaginal Steam Therapy Plans

Vaginal Steam, or hydro-steam therapy is probably the most talked about/ridiculed women’s health treatment out there, but you know what? It works! I have used it personally as have many of my clients who are using it to treat or ease hot flashes, irregular or painful periods, fibroids, cysts, endometriosis, vaginal infections, PMS and even using it for postpartum recovery!

To purchase, go to www.birthkweens,com/shop/ to pick out the right steam herbs for you. Each bag comes with downloadable instructions for a variety of issues.

– $35

Natural Hormone Therapy

Women’s hormonal balance is delicate. Your thyroid, adrenals and sex hormones can easily be thrown off kilter by chronic or acute stress, childbearing, your diet and overall health. This can result in fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, inability to focus, low sex drive, irritability, digestive problems, acne, infertility, weight gain and more because your hormones affect everything! But with the help of testing we can find the root cause and get you back to your best-feeling self using herbs, supplements, nutrition, and lifestyle changes.

All of these services can be done remotely

– $300 + lab fees

Prenatal and Postpartum Care

Maybe you plan to give birth at the hospital but perhaps you’d still appreciate a more natural and holistic approach to your care either before or after birth? I adore prenatal and postpartum care. Good care can elevate your experience from surviving to thriving.

Additional testing if needed
Nutritional/supplemental counsel to reduce risks during pregnancy and birth

Help you mentally prepare for any twists and turns your birth may take

For postpartum care I can offer:

In-home visits
Assistance with latching and lactation
Detecting tongue tie which is very commonly missed
Assessing baby’s weight loss and weight gain
Coming up with a lactation plan when necessary
