The first step in working together is setting up a FREE, no obligation consultation. During this time, we’ll determine your health status, open up a time of opportunity to ask questions, explain the midwifery model of care and its components, and explore compatibility. Client and provider relationship is one of the MOST important aspects of community midwifery, and I encourage all clients to interview a few providers prior to making the ultimate decision of moving forward together.

As low-volume midwife, I accept just 1 client per month, and some months with no clients at all, in order to practice how I strive to live, which is with intention and attention to health and wellness. It’s not uncommon for me to take up to a week to respond to non-urgent emails and requests, as I focus on family life and prioritizing this time that we simply do not get back once it’s gone. I ask that my clients do the same. I am first, a mother, and second - a practitioner. If this does not sound like a practice that is in alignment with your lifestyle, I may not be the best midwife for you.
