When asked why I became a midwife, I answer, 'Midwifery is my calling.' I enjoy working with mothers, babies and families. I had my 2 children at home with the assistance of midwives. I believe that homebirth is the safest and best way to bring children into the world. In the state of California insurance is mandated to reimburse for maternity care, so you can embark on this beautiful, safe, and intimate journey in confidence. Providing Traditional Midwifery care and home birth for more than 20 years in southern California, Anne's services include prenatal check ups, lab work, ultrasounds, nutritional counseling, home birth, water birth, post partum care, VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean), newborn exams, lactation education, and for those clients with maternity coverage on their insurance plans, the filing of insurance reimbursement claims. Anne offers prenatal care in her office. In special circumstances she will arrange home visits for your prenatal care. Her primary consultations are free. When you go into labor Anne is available 24/7. You will have her private cell phone number in case of any urgent needs or questions and when you go into labor. She will go out to your home to monitor your labor and help you to deliver your baby, bringing all the equipment necessary and at least one trained childbirth assistant. All are trained in Neonatal Resuscitation. Each assistant offers many special qualities to your birth.
