ablemidwife is here for you

postpartum care packages

  • We can come to your home and provide several options for postpartum care, from intensive help in the immediate postpartum with things like breastfeeding, nutrition, physical and emotional recovery to general cleaning, newborn and child care, and cooking healthy meals. We are happy to meet with you prenatally to help you develop a postpartum plan. Contact us today to discuss how we can help you have an optimal postpartum experience with the support you deserve.

  • Our team charges $30-90 per hour depending on the services requested. 1-2 of our team members will come to your home and help you in the days and weeks after the baby is born.

    Treat a loved one to a special post partum package for $300 Kate and Irene will come to your home for an average 2-3 hour visit including a nourishing meal

placenta encapsulation

  • I offer placenta encapsulation for both clients and some limited clients of other providers. I offer both raw and traditional Chinese method dehydration and encapsulation with additional herbs if desired. for a full list of my services contact me below.

    I will meet with you to pick up your placenta shortly after the birth and will deliver to you within 1-4 days. (I am also a midwife so births happen)

  • raw - dehydrated <118 degrees - primarily for mood $250

    Chinese method - for recovery - $260

    add herbs to above method +$20

    combination raw/Chinese $275 w/ herbs $290-325

supplemental prenatal care

  • Supplemental care can be wonderful for those that are planning a hospital birth due to desire for hospital services or need due to a higher risk pregnancy. We are still available to perform home and office visits in addition to your regular prenatal care with your primary provider. We can often spend more time to answer questions about coping with labor and birth, natural remedies and comfort measures for common pregnancy complaints and support and training in things like optimal fetal positioning, herbs, nutrition, and resources. We work in concert with many local hospital providers and would share records with them so you have layers of support in your pregnancy.

  • some insurances cover supplemental care visits, contact us for self-pay pricing
