The total cost of care for 2026 due dates is $6800 - $7400.
There is a $1000 deposit due- along with signed agreements- by your first appointment. Monthly payments thereafter. All fees are to be paid by 36 weeks gestation. Please don’t let cost be a barrier from you accessing midwifery care. We are open to brainstorming and sometimes bartering (based on needs at time of care), we can almost always work something out!

No, conventional insurance cannot be used for home birth midwifery services.
We can accept payment from HSA or FSA accounts. We are contracted with a professional biller who specializes in home birth care and can guide you through insurance reimbursement for a small fee (eligibility varies). -
Ultrasounds and lab work are not included in the total fee, however, most insurance companies cover those costs in full.
You will also need to purchase a birth kit at around 34 weeks that has supplies for your birth. This will cost between $100-$150 depending on if you are planning a water birth.
Other costs to consider include doula support (STRONGLY recommended for first-time home birthers), childbirth education courses, lactation consultants, birth photographer, etc. -
Yes, you can! If you are unhappy in your care and your values align with midwifery care, and your risk assessment shows you are a candidate for an out-of-hospital birth, then it’s an option!
Once we have agreed to work together, you can have your current provider transfer over your records.
-
The backup transfer plans are always discussed prenatally. Parents choose their preferred hospital in the event of a non-emergent transfer and the closest transfer provider in the event of an urgent/emergent transfer. We will also discuss which hospitals might be more supportive of your birthing vision should we need to transfer non-emergently.
This is NOT homebirth at all costs; this is midwifery care with great intentions to have a baby at home.
We invest in continuing education and skills practice in birth emergencies oftenAll midwives and assistants are trained and skillful in managing more common complications at home such as neonatal resuscitation, postpartum hemorrhage, and shoulder dystocia.

Each client, with their partners, are scheduled with one of the primary midwives to come in for a consult. This is done to ensure we are a good match, clients are good candidates for midwifery care with plans to birth out of the hospital, to answer your questions, etc. This is a 30 minute consultation. *This consult is not a guarantee for a spot in care nor is it a commitment to care.
Once it is determined by both parties that it’s a good fit and clients are able to commit to care, we will move forward with onboarding.
