Midwifery Care

Our practice

Portland Natural Birth is a small inclusive midwifery practice.  We commit to being 100% on-call for all our clients, which means we only take 2-3 births a month. This small practice model allows for complete individualized attention and care, meaning YOU are an integral part of your care. We practice safe and evidence-based protocols, allowing for choice and best practice for your family.

Insurance and Pricing

We gladly accept and bill private insurance for clients who have out-of-network benefits. For our clients that do not have insurance that will cover a homebirth, we offer a 10% discount if our fee is paid before the birth.  We also accept OHP.
