I know that finances can be a barrier to accessing quality care. My goal is to make quality midwifery care accessible to all families, regardless of income. To that end, I offer sliding scale rates for my postpartum care packages. This means that you pay what you can afford, and those who can pay the full fee allow me to offer services to those with fewer resources.
By choosing to work with me, you're not just investing in your own health and wellbeing, but also supporting the wider community. As a midwife, I am committed to fostering a culture of mutual support and care. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
