Virtual Full Midwifery Package (Prenatal, Birth, & Postpartum)

Complete virtual midwifery care through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum—feel supported, empowered, and nurtured at every stage of your journey.

When you hire me as your virtual midwife, you’re not just getting a service—you’re getting a wise, steady presence through your entire journey. These one-of-a-kind prenatal visits are designed to complement—not replace—your clinical care. This is dual care at its finest.

Your OB or midwife may focus on the medical pieces, but I’m here to fill in the emotional, spiritual, and practical support that so often gets missed. You’ll have space to ask every question you didn’t remember or didn’t get time to ask—and you’ll be heard every step of the way.

This package does not replace care from your primary provider. It’s meant to work alongside them, providing holistic, personalized support in the areas that matter most to you.

What’s included:

Prenatal Support:

  • A comprehensive prenatal intake consultation (60–90 minutes)

  • Monthly virtual check-ins during early pregnancy

  • Biweekly check-ins from 28 weeks, then weekly from 36 weeks to birth

  • Support in creating a personalized birth plan and postpartum vision

  • Nutritional, emotional, and physical wellness guidance

  • Natural wellness recommendations you can trust

  • Direct access to Stephanie for messaging support between sessions

Birth Support:

  • On-call availability starting at 37 weeks until your baby is born

  • Real-time virtual support throughout labor and birth via video or phone

  • Comfort techniques, partner guidance, and emotional support during birth

Postpartum Support:

  • Three virtual visits within the first six weeks

  • Breastfeeding and newborn care guidance

  • Space to process your birth experience and ask anything you need

  • Ongoing messaging access during your 4th trimester

This full-circle package is for the mother who wants to feel prepared, informed, and emotionally grounded through it all. Let’s walk this sacred journey together—virtually, but wholeheartedly.

Virtual Midwife Prenatal Package

When you hire me to be your virtual midwife, you’ll experience the personal, one-of-a-kind prenatal visits I’ve been offering successfully to clients for years. This package is designed to fill in the gaps between your regular prenatal appointments—giving you the time, space, and support to ask all the questions you didn’t remember, didn’t have time to ask, or didn’t even know you could ask.

This does not replace care from your primary provider. It’s dual care—and here’s why it matters:
While your clinical provider focuses on labs, vitals, and medical protocol, I’m here to hold space for your whole experience—your emotions, your preferences, your preparation, your confidence. We work together to give you comprehensive support.

What’s included:

  • A comprehensive prenatal intake consultation (60–90 minutes)

  • Monthly virtual check-ins during early pregnancy

  • Biweekly check-ins beginning at 28 weeks, then weekly from 36 weeks to birth

  • Nutritional, emotional, and physical support tailored to your needs

  • Guidance for creating your birth plan and preparing for postpartum

  • Trusted natural wellness recommendations

  • Direct messaging access for ongoing questions or concerns

You deserve care that sees all of you. Let’s create a confident, connected pregnancy—virtually.
