The cost of a midwife in Asheville, NC can be influenced by several factors:

  • Type of Midwife

    Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) who work in hospital settings may have different pricing than Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) who attend home births or birth center deliveries.

  • Birth Setting

    Hospital births with a midwife typically cost less out-of-pocket when covered by insurance, while home births and birth center deliveries may have different fee structures.

  • Scope of Services

    Many midwives offer comprehensive packages that include prenatal visits, labor and delivery support, and postpartum care, which can affect the overall cost.

  • Insurance Coverage

    North Carolina Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care for Asheville members. Federal Medicaid rules require this benefit, including prenatal care, delivery, and postpartum services attended by a certified nurse-midwife. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth centers varies by plan and does not extend to every member. Asheville has a modest local market, with three midwives within 60 miles; private insurance coverage depends on the individual policy.

  • Experience and Specialization

    Midwives with extensive experience, additional certifications, or specializations such as VBAC support or water birth may charge higher rates.

  • Geographic Location

    Midwifery costs can vary based on the cost of living and demand for midwifery services in your specific area.

When considering hiring a midwife in Asheville, NC, it's advisable to research and interview several midwives to find one who aligns with your birth plan, preferences, and budget. During consultations, you can discuss their specific services, insurance acceptance, and pricing structure to ensure you have a clear understanding of what is included and the associated costs.

With nearly 20 years of experience supporting new and growing families, I bring to my clients a sense of grounded calm, evidence-based education, and the confidence that together, we can navigate anything that may come up in the unpredictable journey of birth! I have a deep understanding of physiologic birth and ways to support that, as well as a healthy respect for medical interventions when needed. I connect quickly and personally with my clients, support families of all constellations, and am super passionate about providing non-judgemental and trauma-informed support.

You can’t quantify the kind of thing Jenna does. It would be inappropriate to place something like this in any kind of metric so I won’t. Instead I’ll tell you what happened. I’ll try to be brief but I make no promises. Ours is not a new story. Planned for a home birth, ended up transferring to the hospital after 30 hours of labor, finished with an emergency cesarean. What was supposed to be sunshine and rainbows turned into a 4 am car ride and 4 day stay far from home; unfamiliar, unforgiving, unexpected. I’d like to tell you about how great Jenna is for a homebirth but I can’t speak on that. I can say for certain that once we were in the medical system Jenna shed her civilian costume and the cape came out. (For sake of transparency this is metaphor, Jenna does not actually wear a cape, unfortunately…) A doula is a sort of custodian for the birthing experience, or maybe like a steward. Jenna’s familiarity with Mission’s system is beyond reasonable expectation. I mean, she’s on a first name basis with many of the nurses and plenty others I didn’t see. Nobody likes going to a party where they don’t know anybody. It wasn’t like that. It was more like we crashed a party with the most popular kid in school. Things kept happening to our advantage that in retrospect had to be the result of orchestrations behind the scenes. Jenna knows the system well enough to play it. This is not where her skills end. She somehow knows exactly what is needed before it is needed. She knows what we’re feeling before we can say it. She knows what we’re afraid of and knows exactly what we need to hear. Most of all, when the already rough waves got huge, she moved through the water like an Atlantean. We would have drowned without her. When the beeping got louder and the nurses stopped whispering and started shouting Jenna looked at me and told me what was happening. It might have been telepathic, maybe I was just reading her face. When things got blurry and I couldn’t see, I felt Jenna’s hand on my shoulder, it made it easier to breathe. When the love of my life was rushed out and all the nurses and doctors started running and but my legs all of a sudden didn’t work, Jenna got under my arm and carried me. When I was alone waiting to hear if I would be allowed in for the surgery my greatest concern would have been for my wife but the fear was fleeting because I knew that Jenna was in there with her. When they did let me in and handed me this strange naked creature and I didn’t have a single clue what to do and my wife was still unconscious, Jenna was there. Jenna knew what to do. In the following days when our baby was screaming and I couldn’t figure out what he needed, Jenna was on the phone checking in. Now it’s almost 4 weeks since and Jenna was just here, making sure everything was right. I can’t say how great Jenna would have been for our home birth because that didn’t happen. What I can say is that if you want to be prepared for anything, Jenna should be on your team. There are other doulas who offer the same things Jenna offers. There is only one person who can do what Jenna does the way Jenna does it.

I am a mother of 4, tree hugger, bread baker, and avid crocheter. I have been in the birth and postpartum would since the age of 12. I believe in compassionate judgement free care and meeting families where they are. I believe in arming parents with knowledge to empower them through the incredibly journey that is bringing a baby into the world. From hip squeezes to night time feeds I can do it all.

I cannot recommend Doula Lacey more highly! I met Lacey around the 15 week mark of my pregnancy with my sweet little girl. We clicked and after speaking with my husband we decided to move forward with her. And thank goodness we did, because just 10 weeks later my water broke preterm and my girl made her entrance into the world at 25 weeks 5 days. Lacey was quick to respond throughout the week as I was experiencing symptoms of early rupture, when I was admitted to the hospital, and when I very quickly and surprisingly gave birth. She provided excellent support and insight on what the hospital process would entail for my husband and I who had planned to have our daughter in a birth center and were now working with providers we did not know in a space we wouldn’t have chosen. She was quick to travel & get to the hospital the week I was admitted as things changed every hour. And she has continued to provide incredible support for us both postpartum as we have begun our journey into NICU parenthood. Having a doula was something I always prioritized, and having such an unpredictable and scary birth experience made that even more clear. And Lacey was right by my side either physically or verbally every step of the way. We are so thankful for her & she is such a special part of our daughter’s story.

I’m Jernae Webb, the owner of Divinity Doula a full continuum‑of‑care agency supporting families through birth, postpartum, early learning, and nanny placement. Supporting parents is truly one of the joys of my life. Families often tell me, “We’re so glad you’re here,” or “You’ve really helped us through this season,” and hearing that never gets old. It reminds me why this work doesn’t feel like work at all. I love witnessing the little smiles, the tiny milestones, and the quiet moments of confidence that grow in new parents. I remember being a first‑time mom myself. All of the unknowns, all the firsts, and that experience is the heart behind everything I do. It’s why I’m committed to creating steady, supportive care that helps families feel held, prepared, and never alone. Alongside my team’s birth, postpartum, and nanny placement support, I also host monthly mommy gatherings to offer connection, education, and community. I support families beginning their homeschooling journey as well, helping them build early learning foundations with confidence and joy.

Highly recommend Jernae! She brings a calming energy to your home, which is so needed postpartum. Her services allowed us to get hours and hours of unbroken sleep, delicious food, and a more functional household overall! We felt so comfortable with her presence in the home and her care of our newborn son.

I'm Ava; a very passionate birth and postpartum doula devoted to supporting women who desire a calm, instinctive, and physiological birth experience. My love for birth began early in life when I witnessed my own mother bring two of my younger brothers into the world through 2 peaceful homebirths. Watching the strength, intuition, and beauty of those moments deeply shaped my belief that birth is not something to fear, but something to trust. My philosophy centers on honoring the body's natural design for birth- not the societally pushed or man-created model of birth that often leads women to doubt their own instinct. I believe that birth "works" best when it is protected, undisturbed, and guided by a mother's intuition. When women are supported with evidence-based information, true informed consent, and a peaceful environment, their bodies are capable of incredible things. my approach prioritizes physiologic birth, instinctive movement, and protecting the natural hormone flow that supports labor, bonding, and postpartum recovery. I especially love supporting families who are drawn to physiological birth, low- intervention options, and creating a birth environment that feels peaceful and intentional. Whether you're planning a homebirth or simply hoping for a more natural and supported experience, I am here to walk alongside you with steady support, evidence-based information, and wholehearted encouragement.

5/5 ⭐️ Ava was an amazing doula to have! She is so sweet and compassionate and responsive to both mother’s and father’s needs during labor and delivery! She helped us with learning and getting into different laboring positions, keeping track of minutes, various calming techniques (i.e. aroma therapy, hydrotherapy, etc.), use of different tools (i.e. birthing comb, peanut ball, etc.), and timing our departure for the birthing center just right! She was so encouraging during my labor and delivery and incredibly supportive postpartum too with a gift basket, foot massage, and demonstration of how to wrap a belly binder. I had the best experience with her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Highly recommend!

After a 14-year gap between my last baby and Declan, I quickly realized just how much I had forgotten about pregnancy and birth. So much of the biology, the stages of labor, and even knowing what to expect felt brand new again. Having Gabby there to educate me throughout my pregnancy was exactly what I needed. She was knowledgeable without ever being overwhelming, and always so loving, gentle, and patient with me. One of the things that made Gabby so special was the way she made me feel capable. She didn’t just tell me what was happening or what to do—she helped me understand my body and trust it. When it came time to have Declan, I chose to give birth completely naturally. Even though Gabby was my virtual doula, having her on the phone during my labor ended up being one of the most valuable parts of my birth experience. When things got intense, she was a calm voice on the other end of the phone, coaching me through it and helping me stay focused. She was also there for my husband. She guided him on how to help me, what I needed from him, and how he could be an active part of supporting me through labor. Instead of the two of us trying to figure everything out in the middle of such an intense moment, we had Gabby there guiding us through it together. I am incredibly proud that I was able to have the natural birth I wanted, and Gabby will always be part of that memory for me. Gabby, thank you for being such a loving and gentle presence during such an important chapter of our lives. Declan’s birth is a memory I will carry with me forever, and I’m so grateful that you are part of his story. ❤️

If it wasn’t for Tori helping me deliver I would of had a stressful delivering my baby boy. She made me feel comfortable while my mom was freaking out when it was time to give birth.

Hi, I’m Racine, a birth and postpartum doula.I work with capable, high-functioning women and their hardworking partners who want to be amazing in labor but are juggling full lives, full calendars, and a million responsibilities. You’re reading the books. You’re taking the classes. You’re doing everything people say will make you ready. But birth is unpredictable and when intensity rises, information doesn’t automatically turn into action. I prepare partners for childbirth to be steady, confident, and clear without having to tell him what to do or how to support you constantly so that you can focus on bringing your baby into the world. Because in labor, you shouldn’t have to run the room. You deserve to be supported by someone who already knows how to lead.

Choosing Racine as my birth doula was an absolute game-changer. From the moment we met, her unwavering support and wealth of knowledge put me at ease. She provided invaluable education throughout my pregnancy, ensuring I felt confident and empowered as my due date approached. What truly set her apart was her dedication to building a supportive team around me, seamlessly coordinating with my partner and healthcare providers to create a holistic birthing experience. Racine’s presence during labor was a calming force, offering emotional and physical support every step of the way. Her expertise not only eased my anxieties but also enriched the entire birthing process, making it a deeply fulfilling journey. I cannot recommend her highly enough for her exceptional care and dedication. I also wanted to add that I was not a very happy pregnant woman during my pregnancy, and I had a lot going to going on in my marriage and work life. Racine didn't judge me and encouraged to to seek counseling and also referred me to a great postpartum doula who made my transition to motherhood a breeze. I can't say enough about Racine. She has a heart of gold and anyone who hires her would find that out quickly. Please hire her and you will not regret it. I wanted to add that since I couldn't come up with the money all at one time, she did put me on a payment plan and that was nice and comforting.
