Let’s talk labs!

Lab work is a routine component of the care I provide as a midwife.

Many, if not most, women dread getting their blood work done and don’t necessarily look forward to things like PAP tests or vaginal swabs.

But I have good news— labs don’t have to be SO terrible.

I perform lab work in the comfort of your home. That means no more sitting in a room with awful fluorescent lighting or interacting with a technician you’ve never met before.

This may not affect you much at all... but for some mamas who get super anxious around needles or with their legs up in stirrups .... this conversation is a BIG DEAL!

I treat lab work as a continuation of the holistic model I offer in all other aspects of care.

I am gentle and grounded in my approach to something that is often cold and impersonal. I will always always always ask your consent before approaching the process and THROUGHOUT the process of lab work.

Blood draws, PAPs, vaginal culture swabs, urine samples —all happen at YOUR pace and in YOUR space.

These changes alone can transform the way people think about the clinical components of maternity care.
