A Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) is a credentialed midwife who is specially trained to provide care for low-risk pregnancies, births, and postpartum/newborn care, primarily in out-of-hospital settings like homes or birth centers.

• Prenatal visits in the comfort of your home starting at 8-12 weeks gestation • Lab work and routine screenings • Continuous support during labor and birth at location of birth • Postpartum care for both mother and baby • Newborn exams and breastfeeding support

Your safety and your baby’s safety are always the top priority. If a situation arises that requires additional medical support, I will engage in a shared decision-making conversation with you to clearly explain why a transfer is being recommended. I will communicate directly with the receiving hospital regarding your current condition to help ensure a smooth and coordinated transition of care. When possible, I will remain with you to provide continuous support, transitioning into a doula role while you are in the hospital. Postpartum care will continue as planned once you are discharged home.

We do not bill or participate directly with insurance. However, upon completion of your care, you will receive all necessary documentation to submit to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Your contract will also outline several flexible payment plan options to support your financial needs.

You can begin by scheduling a free 60 minute virtual consultation or phone call where we discuss your goals, answer all your questions regarding midwifery care, and ensure we are a good fit.

Yes – when done properly. I follow OSHA and food safety standards, use sanitized equipment, and process one placenta at a time in a sterile environment.

Encapsulation is still possible after most births, including cesareans. Let me know your situation and we’ll plan accordingly.

Keep it on ice or refrigerated as soon as possible after birth. Hospitals ask that you bring a cooler or a disposable cooler bag. Most hospitals will provide ice when needed.

Yes. These medications do not affect the ability to encapsulate your placenta.

Typically, between 100–200 capsules, depending on the size of your placenta and the method chosen.

While placenta encapsulation is safe in many situations, there are a few cases where it’s not recommended due to potential health risks or contamination concerns. You should not encapsulate your placenta if: • You received Magnesium Sulfate (IV) during labor • You had a uterine or placental infection • It was not stored properly • You or your baby had a blood borne illness that could pose a contamination risk
