The Cost of Care
My fee is $5,550, which covers personalized care throughout your journey, including basic labs, prenatal visits, the birth itself, postpartum, and newborn care. Additional fees may apply for services such as additional labs, sonograms, Rhogam, or unscheduled appointments on weekends or after hours.
While I do not work directly with insurance companies, I am contracted with a professional midwifery biller who can assist with insurance verification, gap exceptions, and filing for reimbursement after birth for a small fee.
As a thank you for their service, I offer a discount for first responders and military personnel.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I’m happy to provide further clarity on what’s included.

FAQs
What is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM)?
A Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) is the only credential requiring knowledge and experience in out-of-hospital settings. A CPM is a knowledgeable, skilled, and professional independent midwifery practitioner who has met the standards for certification set by the North American Registry of Midwives and is qualified to provide the Midwives Model of Care. Additionally, CPMs have training in holistic health modalities such as nutrition and herbs. CPMs work to promote a healthy pregnancy, birth, and postpartum through education and encouraging families to make informed decisions about their care. Additionally, I hold a Texas midwifery license (LM).
Are Doulas and Midwives the same thing?
No.
A midwife is a trained healthcare professional who provides medical care during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. Midwives can perform prenatal checkups, monitor the baby’s health, manage complications, and handle emergencies. They also carry medications and file birth certificates.
A doula is a non-medical support person who provides physical, emotional, and informational support before, during, and after birth. Doulas help with comfort measures, advocacy, and education but do not perform medical procedures or provide clinical care.
I highly recommend the support of a doula for all families and require it for first-time parents or those new to unmedicated birth to ensure the best possible care and experience
Will I get a sonogram or lab work?
Yes! I am able to order both sonograms and lab work.
What happens in an emergency?
I am fully trained and equipped to respond. I carry emergency medications and neonatal resuscitation equipment. Most situations can be managed safely, however, if a higher level of care is needed, I will stabilize and arrange a smooth transfer.
Can I use a midwife if I have had a C-Section?
Yes, I attend VBACs. However, we will review your specific history to determine if an out-of-hospital birth is a safe option for you. My goal is to support a safe and informed decision for both you and your baby.
Do you provide circumcision?
I respect each family’s choice regarding circumcision. For those who opt for this procedure, I refer to a certified Jewish mohel. Families do not need to be of the Jewish faith to access his services.
