While we do not accept insurance directly, we offer a payment plan designed to help spread payments into the third trimester. To support families seeking insurance reimbursement, we have partnered with a billing company. While we collect our fee upfront, our biller provides a free verification of benefits (VOB) to help you understand how your insurance reimbursement may work.
Lab tests and ultrasounds may be billed directly to your insurance.

Dedicated time for questions & concerns​
During your prenatal visits, we take plenty of time to discuss your vision for birth—what matters most to you, whom you’d like present, and how we can best support your preferences. We make every effort to honor your birth choices while keeping safety as our top priority.

Homebirth
What to Expect During a Homebirth
✔ On-Call Midwifery Care
On call 24/7 starting at 37 weeks. You’ll have direct access to your midwife for guidance, reassurance, and clear communication as labor approaches. Florida Licensed Midwives attend births between 37 and 42 weeks.
​✔ Comfort of Home
You’ll be encouraged to eat, drink, and move freely, listening to your body and giving birth in whichever position feels most natural. A birth tub is always available for your comfort.
✔ Personalized Support
We stay in close communication with you and your support team to create a clear plan for when we should arrive at your home. When the time is right, your midwife and a trained birth assistant will come to you.
​✔ Continuous Monitoring
During labor, your baby’s well-being is monitored with intermittent assessments using a handheld fetal Doppler. Throughout labor, they provide continuous support, encouragement, and clinical assessment. If any concerns arise, your midwife keeps you fully informed and guides you through your options, helping you make confident, informed decisions about your care.
​✔ Immediate Postpartum & Newborn Care
​After delivery, you and your baby will enjoy immediate skin-to-skin contact with delayed cord clamping. Except for a newborn exam performed in your presence at the foot of your bed, you won’t be separated from your baby. Eye prophylaxis and vitamin K are available upon request.
​✔ Doula Support Recommended
Hiring a birth doula is strongly recommended, whether this is your first or fourth child. Doulas are a vital member of your birth team, providing emotional and physical support during early and active labor, as well as helpful postpartum care.
Postpartum Care
The 4th Trimester
The best-kept homebirth secret is postpartum recovery in the comfort of your own bed!
Our top priority is always ensuring that both you and your baby are stable and doing well, a focus that continues throughout the immediate postpartum period.
Immediate Postpartum​
Shortly after birth—depending on where your baby is born—our team will help you and your sweet baby get settled, cozy, and supported in bed. A complete head-to-toe newborn exam will be performed right beside you in bed. Our team typically remains with you for 2–3 hours after the birth to ensure that everyone is fed, cared for, and stable. Before we leave, we’ll tidy the birth space, start your laundry, and leave your family tucked in—ready to rest, recover, and savor those first precious hours together.
