The cost of a midwife in Athens, GA 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

    Georgia Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care because it is a required Medicaid benefit nationwide, including prenatal, birth, and postpartum services. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth-center deliveries depends on the plan and is not guaranteed for every Georgia Medicaid member. In the Athens area, no midwives are listed within 60 miles, which may limit local options. Private insurance coverage varies by policy, so confirm benefits directly with the insurer.

  • 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 Athens, GA, 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.

I am a professional labor doula and childbirth educator. I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Georgia. I am a dedicated and compassionate labor doula, committed to empowering women and families throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum journey. With a background in mental health and a passion for supporting expectant mothers, I bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and empathy to my role as a doula. My calming demeanor and reassuring presence help to alleviate anxiety and promote a sense of calm during what can be an intense and transformative experience. I have called North Georgia home for the last 18 years. I’ve been married to my husband Adam for 5 years. We have two boys under the age of four. In my spare time I enjoy volunteering on my church’s hospitality team, gardening, and spending time outside with my family. I became interested in becoming a doula after experiencing the benefits of hiring a doula for my second birth. I find great joy in walking with women in their motherhood journey.

I genuinely cannot begin to say how thankful I am for Alexis and how she walked with us through our journey to parenthood. We had two prenatal meetings where she met with my husband and I to talk through our birth wishes and just get to know us as people. She focused on getting to know the "why" behind our birth wishes and not just the "what." Her background in counseling was such a perfect fit with her doula services as she helped us walk through the crazy emotions that surround birth and becoming a parent. We talked through how I would feel emotionally if my birth didn't go "according to plan;" we talked about how our marriage was doing in the midst of the pregnancy. Her birth class was super helpful in it made us informed and prepared about what would and could happen during birth. She did check ins after every OB appointment to see how things were going and see how I was feeling every step of the way. When my water broke, she checked in every few hours to keep up with my early labor and give us tips for the early contractions and then met us at the hospital when I was in active labor. I had all back labor, and she and my husband took turns giving me counter pressure on my back for hours. She helped guide me on when to switch positions and try new tactics. She was even there to help with little things like moving our car because it was still parked out front. After our son was born, Alexis stayed with us a few more hours until we were fully settled in our recovery room. She did a follow up meeting with us about a week after delivery and just sat with us and helped me process my birth experience which thankfully was everything that I wanted, but it's still a lot to process. Alexis set up a meal train for us and even brought a meal herself. She texted and checked in with how I was healing, how I was doing emotionally, and just how I was adjusting to motherhood every few days after birth and then weekly for the first two months postpartum. My husband and I genuinely felt like we weren't in this alone, that we had a guide walking through it with us. It was so nice that my husband could support me emotionally and didn't have to worry about having all of the knowledge to specifically support me during labor - he could focus on being my husband and not my coach. We just felt so supported and encouraged the entire journey. She constantly went above and beyond what a typical doula would do. I cannot rave about Alexis enough, and our plan is to have her present for all future childbirths.

I am a dedicated doula with a passion for providing gentle and holistic care to expectant families. My journey into the world of birth support began with a deep belief in the power of natural and holistic approaches to childbirth. Within the last year, I have become a trusted companion for families seeking a nurturing and empowering birthing experience. Specializing in natural and holistic care, i understand the importance of creating a supportive environment that aligns with the unique needs and desires of each client. My commitment to gentle care is evident in my approach, which emphasizes emotional support, mindfulness, and personalized attention throughout the entire birthing process. I have a particular expertise in water births and home births, recognizing the benefits these options can bring to a more relaxed and intimate birthing setting. I believe in the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit during childbirth and strive to create an atmosphere that fosters a sense of tranquility and empowerment. One of my greatest strengths lies in my dedication to helping clients make informed choices about their care. I provide comprehensive information, ensuring that expectant parents have the knowledge and confidence to make decisions aligned with their values and preferences. I understand that each birthing journey is unique, and I tailor my support to honor the individual choices and beliefs of the families she serves. My commitment to gentle and holistic care extends beyond the birthing room, as I continue to offer postpartum support to new parents.

Quazy was absolutely incredible! My husband and I were first time parents, and she was so warm and inviting. The morning my water broke, I called her at 3AM and she zoomed over within the hour. We were having a home birth, and she got there and immediately set up pur birth room, all the while, gently talking to my husband and I. She was so sweet, especially to him, as he looked like a deer in headlights and froze up when he realized it was really happening, and our daughter would be here soon. By the time my midwife arrived, I was already having some pretty intense contractions. While our midwife wanted us to head to a hospital for the pain, Quazy was able to center me and remind me that I wanted to do a natural birth, and we only needed to leave if something was "wrong." We waited another hour after this, and I was able to deliver my beautiful girl all on my own. I loved that Quazy was there for me to lean on when I was scared, and I am eternally grateful for how strongly she believed in me

My whole family is obsessed with Rabsaris. We had the pleasure of having her as our doula a couple years ago for the home birth of my second born, and she was so amazing every step of the way. She is warm, knowledgeable, and hilarious. She’s not afraid to give you the truth, and she’s very straightforward, which I appreciate. Also, her chocolate chip cookies are unmatched. She is a wonderful, honest, genuine person. She has such a passion for supporting pregnant people and their families and it shows in how intentional she is about everything she does. Every prenatal felt like a full childbirth education course. I learned so much during her visits. I still use the calming techniques she taught my husband and me for everyday life with a toddler! At my actual birth, I felt like my sister was taking care of me. I felt so loved and supported. It was like she was reading my mind every step of the way. I can’t even really describe it, but I can’t imagine my birth without her. It was so beautiful to have her there for me, my husband, and my oldest kiddo (who, again, is OBSESSED with her). I could go on, but to keep it short: Rabsaris’ services were worth every single penny and then some. I cannot recommend her enough. Do yourself a favor and hire her as your doula. You won’t regret it!

I was lucky enough to have Ashley join me for doula services in my early third trimester. She was immediately present and actively engaged in communicating with me before my delivery. She showed up to the hospital as soon as I notified her prepared and stayed by my side the entire time. She was comforting and encouraging throughout my delivery and made sure to respect any request I had for my birthing plan. I am especially grateful for her post-natal presence. She has been thorough in follow-ups and has been a strong support to me during my current post-partum struggles. I would highly recommend her.
