Homebirth Midwifery Costs

Midwifery Retainer Fee: $7,000.00

This fee includes ALL of your prenatal visits, birth, and postpartum visits.

A $700 deposit is due at your first visit.
Minimum payments of $250 are paid at each prenatal visit and full balance must be paid by week 36 of pregnancy.

What to expect with Tema as your midwife

What I really love about Midwifery care is that I can take my time with each client. I only serve 2-3 private home birth clients each month.  I spend at least 1 hour with each client at appointments. I only see two – three  clients per day so that I can fully focus and prepare for you. I believe in quality over quantity.

I offer home visits for prenatal care and we sometimes even do our visits at the beach. Our prenatal and postpartum appointments are designed just for you and your own unique needs. I want you to leave our appointments feeling confident and cared for.

Visits are conducted on Wednesday’s & Thursday evening from 5pm – 8pm . In person home visits are conducted on Monday’s.  My off days and times are sacred to my well being as your midwife. Remember, I will leave any and all special occasions regardless of the day or time when your baby decides to come earth side! During these times you can expect to have a direct line of communication with me via secure messaging portal, email and phone. Your phone calls and messages will be responded to promptly.

Medical

I currently am not able to receive Medi-Cal for insurance payments. If you are interested in midwifery care or birth center’s that do receive Medi-Cal please see the links below.

La Matriz Birth’s Ideal Clients

My clients invest in their birth the same way they might in purchasing a home, buying a car or planning a vacation. They understand that time and dedication is needed into preparing on all levels for their birth. They see value and cherish the way that they will welcome their child into this world.

I work with families that are making an informed decision in hiring a homebirth midwife, and that have a grounded willingness to fully give themselves to this transformative process.

My clients accept a natural birth from rooted place within themselves because they believe in their innate ability to birth. They are open to the many paths that their birth journey can take, and they understand that midwifery care can guide them through this process despite the twist and turns it may take.

What consistent feedback do you get from your past clients?

My clients always appreciate my unique and caring presence. They appreciate the different therapeutic therapies that I utilize. They say I am wise, encouraging, empowering yet calm.

My clients most enjoy our prenatal visits and all the education that is packed into our sessions.

“Tema is an amazing midwife who counseled me through the loss of my 4th pregnancy. She was able to give me medical, practical, and emotional help through the process of miscarrying my precious babe. I will be forever grateful for her warm and caring heart. She has a true passion for midwifery and for helping women. Thank you, Tema!” ~ Gabriela G.
