Midwifery

What's a midwife?

​

A midwife is a medical professional who provides care to healthy low risk women and infants from pregnancy and birth through six weeks postpartum. Midwives are trained in physiological birth, and specialize in individualized, woman centered care. In Texas, licensed midwives are experts in out of hospital births and provide care in either home birth or birth center settings. 

​

"The word midwife literally means “with woman”. With woman when she’s growing, when she’s laughing, when she’s pushing, when she’s facing fear. With woman as she becomes Mother. With woman in all seasons, and in every version of her story. That is my real job." -Ashley King LM, CPM

What is the investment?

​

My global fee is $6,300 and includes everything listed above. I require an $800 non refundable retainer fee to start care. This retainer fee is to be paid prior to the first appointment, and is to reserve your spot on my calendar for your due month. I take a very limited number of clients (usually 1-2) per month. The remainder of the balance is due by 36 weeks. 
I am not able to accept insurance but can give you a superbill at the end of care for you to submit to your insurance directly for reimbursement. 
$500 discount available for client's with active Medicaid.
