Services

As a homebirth midwife, I provide comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care, as well as labor and delivery. If it becomes necessary at any point during your care to risk out of homebirth, I can continue to provide varying levels of support depending on the situation necessitating transfer of care. This can include stepping into the role of a doula/advocate for a hospital birth, resuming full postpartum care, and sometimes continued prenatal care co-managed with a physician. Because I maintain a low-volume practice, I am able to accommodate varied client needs. I offer the following services:

Prenatal Care

Initial appointment (1.5 hours)
1-hour monthly office visits until 28 weeks, then bi-monthly until 36 weeks, then weekly visits until birth
One home visit around 37 weeks gestation
Basic labwork (billed to insurance if you have it)

Birth

Serving North & South Austin and most surrounding areas within an hour of my office
Homebirth, including waterbirth, VBAC
Suturing following the birth if needed
A trusted midwife/birth assistant will also attend the birth

Postpartum Care

Postpartum home visits at 24-48 hours and 1 week, then office visits at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 6 weeks
Newborn screen, Vitamin K, Erythromycin eye ointment, CCHD screening if desired
Establish breastfeeding (with referral to Lactation Consultant as needed)
Maternal and newborn care until 6 weeks

Coming Soon

I will be training as a biodynamic craniosacral therapist and will eventually be able to offer separate CST services for the whole family. In the meantime, I am happy to refer you to other gifted CST providers.
During training, I can offer discounted sessions.
