PreConception Care Options

We offer single visits or a special PreConception Ritual Package which includes a series of 4 informational and ritual gatherings including bodywork to honor the conscious opening of welcoming a child. If you are interested, please request the handout describing the package.

The pre-set package may be modified to fit your circumstances and needs.

Getting Started

If you’re seeking PreConception sessions from Awakenings, we start with a phone call or email to answer any questions.

Just send us an inquiry letting us know you are interested.

Please be specific with what you’re hoping with regards to the care and include any pertinent information to your history and health.

Once any questions have been answered, the next step is to set up an appointment. We’ll send you some links to documents so that you can begin the intake process.

Scheduling

Location: Appointment location takes place at your home or our (home) office, depending on your preferences.

When: 
Appointments are during normal business hours, Monday – Friday.

Length of Appointments: Visits are scheduled for 2 hours.

Fees for Services

Please request the financial agreement for current fees.

We feel our fees are very generous, and hope you do too.

The Preconception Gift Package may be a wonderful gift to a friend or family member embarking on this journey.

We do offer sliding scale (see applicable section). Let us know your financial situation and we’ll decide on a fee that works for all of us.

Additional Expenses: Refundable Deposit

The standard fee does not include any lab work such as paps, blood draws, or STI testing. It does not include herbal and homeopathic remedies.

These may incur an additional expense.

Because of this, you may be required to pay, separate from the Holistic Healthcare fee, a “Petty Cash Refundable Deposit” should you require any labs, etc.

The “Petty Cash Refundable Deposit” amount varies and depends on what testing/screening you plan to receive. We estimate the cost of these labs. We consider it a deposit because lab fees are always changing and we will not know the true cost until the bill is received. Any expenses exceeding the refundable deposit will be billed accordingly and you are responsible to pay. Any unused funds will be returned.

Sliding Scale

Access to midwifery care is EXTREMELY important to Awakenings. We hope to provide care to all people regardless of income.

As holistic care has grown, it has moved further and further from low-income communities and people of color. In staying true to the values of midwifery, we offer sliding scale and flexible payment plans to those willing to discuss their financial status with us.

We trust you will value and prioritize this quality care over accessories. But even still, it can be challenging to know whether one qualifies for sliding scale. A general guideline is whether or not it creates “Financial Hardship.” Generally, if you have to wonder whether it does or doesn’t, you probably don’t fit that category. If you’re struggling to pay rent each month or can’t purchase the nourishing foods you want, you do qualify.

If you decide a sliding scale applies to you, please consider bartering for a portion of the fee. We are open to your ideas!

Insurance Coverage

Upon request we will provide a bill with codes that you can send to your insurer to attempt to obtain reimbursement in accordance to your plan.
