I'm so excited to announce here today, that my very own midwifery practice, called Manhattan Birth Midwifery, is open for business!

While I do not participate in-network with any insurance plan, home births are usually paid for mostly by insurance with in-network exceptions or out-of-network benefits. If you are interested in a home birth, let's talk about how to make that possible (especially if you know me!).

For well-woman/primary care and lactation consultations, I can provide receipts with medical proper coding for you to submit to your insurance.
