Advanced Midwifery and Home Birth Services

Our all-inclusive midwifery care package is $6,500 (cash, check, debit, ACH, HSA, or FSA), covering prenatal visits, labor, supplies, inflatable birth tub, and birth support (at home or as a doula if hospital transfer is needed), newborn assessment, and postpartum care—no matter where your baby is born. If you prefer to pay by credit card, a 5% merchant platform fee applies.

Payment plans are available and tailored to your needs, with all balances due by 36 weeks of pregnancy. All payments are non-refundable, as you are purchasing comprehensive midwifery care, not a guaranteed home birth.

We do not bill insurance directly, but will provide a superbill after care is complete for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

See our full Financial Agreement & Payment Policy for details.

For families living more than one hour from Myrtle Beach, a one-time extended travel fee of $1,000 applies.

Prenatal Care: Building a Strong Foundation

Your prenatal visits are more than routine checkups - they are a partnership where you meet and get to know me and my team and where your questions, concerns, and hopes are front and center. 

Comprehensive Assessments: We monitor your health and your baby’s growth with gentle methods including blood pressure, fetal heart tones, and physical exams every four weeks until you are 28 weeks pregnant, every two weeks between weeks 28-36, and then weekly from 36 weeks until you deliver. We offer in office, in home, and virtual services to help accommodate your needs and best care. 

Lab Testing: We coordinate essential lab work, including the initial OB panel (CBC, blood type/Rh, syphilis, rubella, hepatitis B, HIV), urine analysis, glucose tolerance test, and Group B Strep screening. Labs can be drawn in your appointment or sent with you for you to have drawn by your Lab of choice. Lab fees are billed separately by the testing facilities.

Education & Informed Choice: All clients get immediate access to the Online Client Education Library. You’ll receive clear, compassionate explanations about all tests and procedures, empowering you to make decisions that feel right for you, full of resources that you can come back to and read anytime. Includes supply lists, nutrition recommendations, warning signs and what to do, emergency birth instructions, and more. 

Whole Body Support: Nutrition guidance, emotional well-being, and preparation for birth and breastfeeding are integral parts of your care.

Flexible Scheduling: Prenatal visits are a full hour long and they are scheduled to fit your needs and to connect and discuss your experience and how I can help you feel more ready.

Labor & Birth: Your Birth, Your Way

We honor your birth preferences and provide continuous, loving support throughout labor and delivery.

Home Birth Attendance: Experience the comfort and privacy of your own home, with your midwife present to help support and guide you every step of the way so you can relax and be in labor blissfully and confidently. The birth tub and the birth supplies are provided in your fee.

Hospital Birth Support: No matter where your baby is born, we are your midwife support team throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. If transfer to an OB before labor begins needs to happen for you and your baby’s safety, we will still meet with you on the same midwife/OB schedule of care in a co-care and support capacity. In labor, we accompany you, offering doula-level advocacy and comfort measures to ensure your voice is heard while in labor, and then we come to your home the day after you discharge for a long, in-depth first postpartum and newborn home visit to make sure you are transitioning amazingly into postpartum with your baby. 

Holistic Labor and Delivery Care: I use gentle, respectful techniques, wisdom, and evidence to support natural progression while prioritizing your and your baby’s safety.

Immediate Newborn Assessment: Your baby will be gently evaluated right after birth to ensure a smooth transition.

Newborn Care: Gentle and Thorough

Your baby’s first days are precious, and we provide attentive care to support their health and your confidence.

Initial Assessment: We perform a thorough newborn exam immediately after birth.

Guidance on Newborn Needs: From feeding cues to latching success, we help you understand and respond to your baby’s signals with grace and ease, confident they are eating enough and seeing gains immediately.

Referrals, Screenings, and Birth Certificates: We facilitate newborn metabolic screenings and CCHD (a heart abnormality screening) 24-36 hours after birth as well as file for your baby's birth certificate with the state so you don't have to 

Support for Common Concerns: Whether it’s jaundice, weight checks, or breastfeeding challenges, we’re here to help.

Postartum Care: Nurturing Your New Family

Our care continues well beyond birth, supporting your physical recovery and emotional well-being.

Home Visits: Every family receives at least 2 home visits in the first week to check on your healing, baby’s growth, and family adjustment.

Breastfeeding Support: Hands-on help and encouragement to establish and maintain feeding.

Emotional Support: We recognize the emotional shifts postpartum and provide compassionate care and resources.

What’s Not Included

To keep your fee transparent, here are the services and costs that are your responsibility:

Lab Fees: While we draw labs in-office, the laboratory bills you or your insurance directly.

Ultrasounds and Imaging: We provide referrals, but these services are billed separately.

Medications and Supplements: Prescriptions, oral Vitamin K, and supplements are not included.

Newborn Screening Costs and Updating Insurance: We facilitate the newborn metabolic screening collection and we make sure it gets to the lab, but the costs of the test and any follow up, as well as updating your insurance of baby's arrival, are your responsibility. We will provide copies of all forms filed to the state per request to help you as needed.

Physician Consultations and Hospital Fees: If transfer or additional medical care is needed, those costs are your responsibility.

Pharmacy Costs: Any medications or supplies obtained from pharmacies are not included.

Your journey is unique, and we are honored to walk alongside you with care that centers your values, your choices, and your family.

Booking is easy! Simply complete the New Client Inquiry Form or call/text Jessica at 8434462580 directly. We’ll schedule a free, no-pressure consultation so you can ask questions, share your hopes, and see if we’re the right fit for your family.

Home birth with a midwife is a safe and empowering option for healthy, low-risk pregnancies. If you value personalized care, informed choice, and a supportive environment, you may be a great candidate. South Carolina regulations set clear guidelines for who qualifies for midwifery care. Read the official SC midwifery regulations here. We’ll review your health history together to ensure home birth is the safest option for you and your baby.

I am still your midwife and the team and myself are still supporting you! Your safety is our top priority. If a medical condition arises during pregnancy that makes home birth unsafe, we’ll help you transition smoothly to physician or hospital-based care, provide your records, and support you emotionally through the change. We will still see you regularly in the prenatal period to help you plan for the change and adjust with ease. In labor, myself or someone from my team will attend you in labor in a doula support capacity, and in postpartum, we will come to you once you are home from the hospital to continue with in-home care all the first week postpartum. You are getting the midwifery care you paid for and deserve even if we need to pull in another specialist to help you and your baby deliver best.

Absolutely! We welcome your whole family at prenatal visits. Children are invited to be part of the experience, and we’re happy to answer their questions and help them feel included. Home visits are prioritized to our postpartum clients and prenatal clients with littles at home, so please let me know if you need prenatal care in your home to make nap time and your comfort work.

We do not administer newborn vaccines. We can help you access them through your pediatrician or hospital if you choose.
