Home Birth - $5000 (before insurance) We do bill a variety of insurance companies, including the Oregon Health Plan.
I am passionate about providing safe, respectful, client-centered care for families who desire a home birth. I attend home births in Albany, Corvallis, Lebanon, Scio, Brownsville, Salem and the surrounding areas. I am able to bill many types of insurance. As my home birth client, your package includes:
- Prenatal care that includes ongoing health assessment, nutrition education, preparation for birth, breastfeeding, and parenting your newborn. Visits follow the standard schedule; every 4 weeks until your 28th week, every 2 weeks until 36 weeks, then weekly until birth.
- Ultrasound and lab work, as needed (billed separately)
- Use of my "Birth Pool in a Box," if desired, at no extra cost.

- Postpartum visits at 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 6 weeks postpartum. Postpartum care includes care of mom and baby through six weeks, breastfeeding support, and referrals to other professionals as needed.
Experience the Birth with Liz advantage:
- Convenience- All prenatal and postpartum appointments are done in the comfort of your own home.
- Availability- I take texts from clients during daytime hours and phone calls from clients 24/7.
- Attentiveness- I take a limited number of clients per month in order to schedule longer appointments, travel to clients and be more available to the clients I serve.
- Holistic, Personalized Care- Each client receives individualized recommendations. Prenatal and postpartum visits include information on nutrition, exercise, stress management, emotional and social support, and baby's development.
Waterbirth
I am experienced in attending waterbirths and am happy to support you as you labor and birth in the water. We have birth pools available (free) for client use. We provide everything you need for your water birth.
Midwifery Prenatal Care + Hospital Doula Support - $4000
Some mothers need to birth in a hospital setting and don't want to miss out on midwifery care. For these mothers, collaborative care meets both needs. My clients can have midwifery care throughout their pregnancies and a planned hospital birth with their midwife there for support, followed by comprehensive postpartum/newborn care and breastfeeding support.
Doula Support & Other Services:
Birth Doula Support
I enjoy supporting families who may need to birth in a hospital setting and want to have an empowered birth.
When you hire me as your doula, you benefit from my experience and training as both a doula and a midwife. My midwifery training informs the suggestions I give, whether it's fetal positioning, maternal comfort, or helping labor progress. I am also able to provide you with information on tests and procedures during both pregnancy and labor.
I have attended births at Lebanon Community Hospital, Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis, Salem Hospital, Sacred Heart Medical Center, Stayton and Silverton Hospital.

Placenta Encapsulation - $200 encapsulation service only/$150 as an add-on to your birth doula or midwifery package
I began offering placenta encapsulation services to clients in 2011 and have seen amazing results. Moms report improvements in mood, feeling calmer and more centered, increased milk supply, and boosted energy levels.
I offer placenta encapsulation services to everyone, regardless of birth location. If you birth at a hospital, I will give you instructions on taking your placenta home with you. There is an additional charge for pickup if you are over 30 minutes from my home.
