• I am a Licensed Midwife in the State of Virginia.
• I attend out-of-hospital births – you name where.
• All visits except for the 36 week prenatal/home visit, the birth and the first two post partum visits occur at my office in Arlington. Your children, friends, and family members are welcome at every appointment.
• Visits typically occur during normal business hours.
• The fee is a set package (fee is subject to change – please inquire for the current fee). I do offer a discount for full payment at 36 weeks for cash-pay families. I also require a $500 non-refundable fee.
• Yes! You may use your credit card to pay – I have a paypal account for families wanting to use their credit card.



• I will not serve women who also want care with an OB without a medical need. You may see another professional for anything which goes beyond the scope of my care (e.g., you have a condition which requires collaboration with another professional and the condition does not preclude you from having a homebirth) or you would like a second opinion for something. The parallel care provider for the condition must be informed that I am your care provider so that I can be kept informed of your care with that provider and its impact on your pregnancy and birth.
• I serve both families who want to birth in water, and those who do not (I do have a birth pool available for my families to use; and can refer you to another one if mine is being used).
• I serve moms who are planning a vaginal birth after cesarean.
• I have an insurance billing service for those families whose insurance will pay for my services – they can also assist you in getting an In-Network Exception (Network gap) coverage for my services.
• *I am a Virginia Medicaid provider. I do charge for services that Medicaid does not cover.
• Consider setting aside funds in your medical or health savings accounts to offset the cost of homebirth midwifery care.
• I refer all moms for a hypnotherapy session because I have seen absolutely phenomenal effects for childbearing with the women I serve.
• I have a client yahoogroup for you to further network with other moms who are birthing outside the hospital, too, and they are also great resources for other alternative avenues in our lives.
