Marin Midwifery and Childbirth Services

Midwifery Care

I offer comprehensive midwifery care, which includes complete prenatal, birth, and postpartum care for low-risk pregnancies and planned home births.  

It includes risk assessment, nutritional counseling, and some diagnostic tests, as well as childbirth education,  birth preparation, newborn care, breastfeeding support and access to my book and DVD lending library. 

You receive my focused, individualized attention. You have autonomy, control and privacy.  Our appointments are one to two hours each, and take place at your home. We meet once a month up to 28 weeks, every two weeks until 36 weeks, and then weekly until delivery.  Myself and an assistant attend your delivery, and I make multiple postpartum visits to make sure you and the baby continue to do well. 

Well Woman Care

I also offer well-woman checks, including PAPs, breast exams, family planning, and fertility awareness.

Placenta Encapsulation

I encapsulate your placenta following the Chinese medicine method to make an easy-to-take nutritional supplement that supports postpartum health. This is a two day process and yields 150-200 capsules.
