A nurse midwife is a registered nurse who has completed a graduate education in midwifery. Nurse midwives are trained to care for pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, newborns until 28 days of life, and routine gynecological healthcare.
I am a certified nurse midwife with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing and a Master's degree in Midwifery. I am licensed by the state of Florida and certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board. I have training in Neonatal resuscitation and basic life support. NRP and CPR certified.
I believe that childbirth is a natural process and that everyone has the right to make informed decisions about their care. I strive to provide compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based care.
No. I only take cash pay or payment plans. I can provide you a super bill to submit to your insurance but there is no guarantee they will reimburse you. For OB clients your deposit is due at your initial OB visit and GYN clients it is due at your appointment. Occasionally, when my schedule allows, I may be able to offer a sliding scale discount or explore a bartering agreement. These instances are infrequent.
No. I meet with all clients and if desired their family before deciding if it is a good fit for both of us. I limit the number of clients I accept per month to keep your care personalized and assure I can attend your birth. I will also do a detailed medical history and review any applicable records. If we both decide it is a good fit the deposit will be due at your initial prenatal visit. For GYN it is due on the day if your visit. It is important to secure your spot as early as possible in your pregnancy or I may not have available openings. Sometimes I have openings and can accommodate transfers from other providers or offer care later in pregnancy.
