Fees & Services
Midwives provide a highly personalized type of maternity care that provides families with a strong, connected start. Midwives take time to get to know each individual person and their family, learning what they need and want and helping to empower them to be an integral part of their own care. Each midwifery appointment usually takes about 30 minutes and includes education and time for questions and answers as needed.
Families that choose home birth and/or water birth within an hour radius of our Lakeland office are attended in labor by our midwives, Marianne Power, RN, LM and Amanda Mann, LM. Those who choose or need to give birth in the hospital are referred near the end of pregnancy to the team of welcoming OB/GYN hospitalists in Labor and Delivery at Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center.
