Family Tree Midwifery supports pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, offering individualized, out-of-hospital care, grounded in informed consent, continuity, and respect.

A Season of Rebuilding...

2025 brought an intentional pause to Family Tree Midwifery's usual operations - it was an unexpected opportunity to restructure, refine and rebuild with sustainability at the center. 

 

We believe the quality of care provided to families is directly tied to the capacity and support of those providing it. This season of downtime has allowed us to modify our internal systems, clarify boundaries, restructure our care model and returning with renewed with strength.

 

Family Tree has reopened with updated offerings, competitive pricing, payment plans and discounts - and, as always, a trusted and vetted team - ready to serve our families from a more grounded, experienced, and well supported place. 

Offerings and Pricing

  • Prenatal Care - Thoughtful, unrushed visits centered on education, informed consent, and relationship.

  • Birth Care - Out-of-Hospital monitoring and support designed around safety, autonomy, and individualized decision making.

  • ​Postpartum Care - Intentional follow-up that supports physical recovery, emotional processing, and family transition.

  • Newborn Care - Professional practitioner assessments and support for your newborn in the early days, with attention to feeding, guidance through the transitional early days and family connection until pediatric care is established at 6 weeks. 

Family Tree Midwives provides relationship based, out of hospital care offered through a professional fee model. Our fees include Midwifery services and do NOT guarantee any outcome including your desired birth location - safety of parent and baby will always come first. 

Our professional fee is $8000 reflecting scope of care, experience of your team, on-call availability, and individualized support through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and for your newborn. 

A $500 discount is available for: 

  • Returning Family Tree Midwifery Clients

  • Families paying our professional fee by cash (actual green cash - not only "out of pocket")

  • No more than $1000 discount can be offered

INSURANCE:

Families planning to use insurance are responsible for their patient portion as determined by their Verification of Benefits (VOB) 

  • The patient portion is based on individual insurance coverage

  • You must have a PPO with out of network maternity services

  • We cannot bill Tricare, or MediCal at this time

  • Remember our biller will often get different results regarding insurance coverage vs when families call in themselves. Please allow us to do a free benefits check following your free consultation!

  • Patient Portions do NOT involve reimbursement of our professional fees - they are unrelated

All families may be subject to a deposit depending on estimated gestational age at time of establishing care.

Payment plans are available in $500 and $300 increments with auto debit or cash drop box options.

All fees and payments will be outlined in a personal contract for care and your due date is reserved in our practice upon signature of contract and payment of deposit.
