***
At Full Circle Midwifery, we want midwifery care to be accessible to everyone, which is challenging in our patchwork system of health insurance, insufficient coverage for out-of-hospital midwives, and poor insurance reimbursement for care providers. Because we value more accessible midwifery care in our communities, we offer payment plans, discounts, sliding fee scale, connect you to an experienced out-of-hospital insurance claims specialist for possible reimbursement, and we are open to many kinds of trade or barter for care.
We also value and respect the deep level of time, energy, care, love, support, and commitment that we put into our work as midwives.

Prenatal & Postpartum
Care Only
Comprehensive support throughout your pregnancy and postpartum, with guidance, care, and connection every step of the way. You’ll work with your midwife for prenatal and postpartum care, and you may choose your hospital for delivery, where you will be attended by the hospitalist on shift. This package does not include our labor attendance unless specifically arranged in advance.
Because each family’s needs are unique, we invite you to connect with us for current fees and package details.
Payment Plans
We absolutely accept payment plans. You have the option to pay in full (preferred) or make payments over the course of care (from the date of hire to 34 weeks)
A 10% non-refundable deposit of $1000 will be due at the first scheduled prenatal visit and will secure your spot on our calendar.
Doula Incentive
Because we believe continuous labor support improves birth outcomes and helps families feel more supported, we are happy to offer a $400 credit toward the full standard fee for clients who both pay in full at the initial visit and hire a professional doula.
Not Included In Our Fee:
Not included in our fee:
lab processing (Quest and Unity)
water birth kit (purchased at In His Hands)
follow-up ultrasounds

appointments with other healthcare providers as necessary
Placenta Encapsulation ($250)
Will I get a discount for switching to Full Circle later in my pregnancy?
No. Midwifery care is billed as a global fee. This means that it is a fee that encompasses all of your midwifery care regardless of when you begin care. To clarify, if we somehow accepted you into care while you are in labor, the fee would still not be discounted. It is beneficial for you and your midwife to begin care earlier in your pregnancy. It is wise to book care with us as soon as you know that you are pregnant.
Home Visits
For busy mamas, stay-at-home mamas, and first-time mamas, we bring care directly to you in the comfort of your own home. These appointments are cozy, personal, and convenient.
A travel fee of $1 per mile from our DeLand office applies to all home visits, allowing us to provide care wherever you are within our service area. All clients receive a birthing-time home visit at 37 weeks and their first postpartum visit as part of their care package.
Sliding Scale
We believe everyone deserves access to midwifery care. If finances are a barrier, please email us to request our sliding scale.
*We accept donations to support providing sliding scale.
Any amount you pay above the listed fees will go directly to supporting the care of families receiving discounted fees.
Barter & Trade
We’re open to bartering or trading for up to half of the standard fee for care.
If you’d like to offer goods or services in exchange, we’ll agree together at the start of care on what the trade will be and the timeline for completing it.
Some ideas for trade include:
Herbalism, skincare, bodywork, chiropractic, hair care
Tree work or yard maintenance
Livestock or meat
