Home birth packages with Stephanie and the team start at $4500 and range up to $8500 with a few extra investments as needed based on your choices, including desired supplies for birth, supplements and herbs, ultrasounds or lab work (if not using insurance for those). 

I am not in-network with any insurance plan. Home birth and midwifery care is covered at varying levels depending on your plan and insurance company. I have more details on my insurance page for clients.

Using ultrasound for diagnostic purposes in pregnancy is a personal decision. I do not require the use of ultrasound to work with me.

If at any point in your care, we feel the need for an ultrasound it will be a clear discussion and decision made by you and your family.

Well, of course, I'm an herbalist 😊. I've spent the last 20 years using, growing and cultivating a relationship with plants, specifically of our bioregion.

I feel confident and clear on how herbs support us and how to use them in pregnancy safely, for common concerns and to avoid pharmaceuticals. 

I have my own line of custom herbal remedies designed for women and the childbearing year. I also carry supplements that I often recommend in our office.

Yes, one of the hallmarks of midwifery care is helping to support your overall health and vitality with nutritional guidance as needed. I've had 2 decades of experience with diets, both watching and experiencing the trends in the wellness space.

I believe our diet choices are specific to each individual and one-size does not fit all.

We'll discuss your needs and your health throughout pregnancy and postpartum

Yes, all screening done via lab tests can be completed during our appointments in the office. Though, each woman's journey is unique so I don't require specific tests for everyone, rather we will review your health and discuss which testing may be needed or wanted throughout your pregnancy. 

I'll provide you with a overview of the common tests and indications and we'll make decisions together about them at the appropriate time.

Our team of midwives and students offer a childbirth prep class specifically for birthing out of the hospital, and we also share resources for community classes to help you feel prepared and calm for birth and postpartum with baby.

Yes, is the simple answer. Our time together over the 6-9 months of your pregnancy is an evolving "birth plan".

As is life, plans don't always come to pass just as we expect. By the time we reach your birthing window, we will trust each other to know what is needed at each unfolding moment. 

You tell me your vision - and we'll make the best version of it happen, together.
