Midwives do more than help babies out!
I am available for your yearly exam, including Pap smears, STD testing and breast exams. You do not need to be a midwifery client to schedule an exam or Pap smear. I charge a sliding scale fee for the exam, and the lab tests are your responsibility (insurance usually covers them, though). I will come to your home and include you in the discussion of your body, and your testing options.
No longer do you have to visit an OBs office, wait in a waiting room, and put your feet in stirrups! Midwives provide full, compassionate care for women.
I may also be available to provide you with prenatal care and education/counseling even if you are not planning a homebirth! I meet many women who, for one reason or another, cannot commit to a homebirth. However, they feel the care they get from their doctor is lacking in compassion and education. For these women, care with a midwife throughout pregnancy can be the best of both worlds. As a consulting midwife, I can offer you information and a different perspective than you will get from your doctor. There is no pressure to birth at home; only encouragement to educate yourself and make the wisest choices that you can for you and your baby.
UPCOMING CLASSES
Please contact me if you would like to schedule a class about Natural Fertility Awareness. I am available to teach this one-on-one or in a group setting.
Do you wonder what Natural Fertility Awareness IS??
First, have you ever asked yourself one of these questions, regarding your menstrual cycle or your body:
Am I pregnant?
Why is my period late if I’m not pregnant?
What is this strange bleeding I am experiencing?
Why is it so easy for some women to get pregnant and not for others?
Why are my cycles so irregular?
Natural Fertility Awareness can help you learn about YOUR body and make it easier to plan or avoid pregnancy, as well as troubleshoot potential female problems before consulting a professional. This is a skill that ALL women should learn and pass onto their daughters!! You will be enlightened and empowered to know your body so well after this course!
Spiritual Guidance in Pregnancy and Birth
For many, pregnancy and birth are deeply spiritual times that compel many women to investigate their own past and heal their own emotional issues. While I provide some of this help, it is my pleasure to have Michelle Peterson, a Sedona mama, available for group classes and individual sessions. Please contact me for information on the next group session (you need not be a pregnant client of mine to attend) or visit Michelle’s website, The Beauty Way of Birth.
