Birth Packages
If a payment plan is more accessible for you, I ask for a non refundable $150 deposit before our first prenatal meeting.

I have been vegan for 6 years and have come to be friendly with the plants that fuel our bodies. I can always accommodate food allergies and restrictions.
Go to THIS PAGE to check out the foods I make to fuel your body.
**If this is the Root Care Extra you choose for you Inclusive Care package it includes 10 items, we can discuss what those meals are if this is your choice.
RESOURCE PAGE - $150
This is an extensive library of evidence-based information I have compiled over time covering a variety of different topics from chestfeeding, birthing positions, pain management, Austin resources, postpartum care, perinatal mood disorders, and so much more.
We live in an age where information is overwhelmingly accessible but often times inaccurate or misleading. This resource page is organized in a fashion where you can easily find a topic you would like information on and feel confident that the information provided his evidence-based and coming from a trustworthy source.

Pay It Forward
To be able to maintain offering services on a sliding scale I want to offer the option for those who are in a more privileged position to be able to pay it forward. If you believe in the mission of reproductive justice for all, and are able, please send money and be sure to label it as a pay it forward donation.
