Services and Fees

Our Midwifery Care Package is priced at $5500, and we offer a sliding scale that can reduce the fee to as low as $4000 for those experiencing financial challenges. We believe in making midwifery care accessible to everyone. Medicaid does not currently cover homebirths in Michigan.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT OR BILL INSURANCE.

The Midwifery Package includes comprehensive care from prenatal visits at our Gentle Mama Holistic Midwifery office in Chelsea, Michigan, a home visit around 36-37 weeks gestation, labor and birth support, as well as postpartum and newborn care up to 6 weeks postpartum.

Our services include waterbirth, delayed cord clamping, and breastfeeding support. We also provide Newborn Vitamin K, Newborn Eye Prophylaxis, and Newborn Metabolic Screening, along with referrals for Newborn Hearing Screens.

We are dedicated to informed choice and informed consent as the cornerstone of our midwifery practice.

Belly painting is included.

Midwife Patricia offers belly painting as a unique and meaningful art form that helps midwifery clients understand the position of their baby while providing a special moment to honor their time of creation. She brings this cherished skill to Michigan from her many years of midwifery practice in Oregon and has been creating these beautiful, personal connections through belly painting since 2007.  Patricia has painted several hundred pregnant bellies, and clients have described it as one of their favorite prenatal appointments, something they eagerly look forward to.
