The cost of a midwife in Lafayette, IN 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

    Indiana Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife services for members in Lafayette. This federally required Medicaid benefit includes reimbursement for CNM-attended prenatal care, birth, and postpartum care. Plan coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth centers is less consistent, and local choices are limited to two midwives within 60 miles. For private insurance, check your plan’s midwife benefits before arranging care.

  • 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 Lafayette, IN, 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.

Kayla Lashay

Hello, my name is Kayla, and I am a full-time doula proudly serving families throughout Indiana and surrounding communities. Born and raised in Indianapolis, I am also a mother of four beautiful children who have inspired my passion for birth work and maternal support. My journey to becoming a doula was deeply personal. After experiencing trauma during three of my own births, I realized how important compassionate, informed, and empowering support truly is during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I chose to turn my pain into purpose by helping other mothers feel seen, heard, educated, and supported throughout their birthing journey. As a doula, my mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering experience for every family I serve. I believe every mother deserves respectful care, emotional support, and an advocate by her side. Through my work, I strive to transform trauma into healing and blessings by giving back to the community and supporting families during one of life’s most meaningful moments.

Having kayla as my doula has truly been one of the best decisions during my pregnancy journey. She has been incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, supportive, and caring every single step of the way. During such an emotional and important time in my life, she has made me feel genuinely cared for, heard, and at peace. One thing I appreciate most is how she never tries to overshadow my wants or opinions. She always makes my choices, comfort, and birth preferences the priority while still guiding and educating me with so much patience and compassion. That balance is so important when choosing a doula, and she does it beautifully. Kayla presence alone brings reassurance, comfort, and confidence, and I truly cannot imagine going through this journey without her support. I would recommend her to any expecting mother looking for someone who will advocate for them, support them, and truly care from the heart. 💕

We worked with Kira to deliver our second baby and it was a fantastic experience from the start! She was easy to schedule a call with and after chatting for 10-15 minutes, I knew she'd be a great fit. Scheduling and communication made it easy to plan and she quickly became someone we could trust! We most appreciated her ability to listen well, take what we say/want, and help us go in that direction. We always felt supported in our decisions and the birth experience we desired! Kira clearly loves what she does and you will be in good hands if you are able to work with her.

We had an amazing experience with Takiesha - she was so helpful in listening to our birth plan/desires, providing guidance, educational materials, advice as we navigated our journey in becoming first-time parents. We couldn’t have done it without her! She was a great advocate for us and helpful as we had to make decisions at the hospital. She has a depth and breadth of knowledge and experience that helped us in so many ways. I would absolutely work with her again and highly recommend her!

Hi, I’m England, founder of Womb + Root Wellness. 🌿 I’m a mother of three, full spectrum doula, lactation consultant, herbalist, and Reiki Master. My journey into birth work started long before I became a mother. I found myself naturally supporting and advocating for other mothers, while also navigating my own reproductive health journey. For years, I struggled with endometriosis without a diagnosis. As a Black woman, I experienced firsthand what it feels like to have your pain dismissed, your health overlooked, and your voice unheard within the healthcare system. I also watched the women closest to me including my mother and sister experience traumatic births and a lack of the care, information, and respect for autonomy they deserved. When I became pregnant and had my own children, I became my own doula. I learned how powerful it is to understand your body, know your rights, trust your intuition, and have someone in your corner. Those experiences became my purpose. I created Womb + Root Wellness to be part of the change—especially within Black and Brown birthing communities. My work is rooted in education, advocacy, holistic care, nourishment, and empowerment, helping mothers feel informed, respected, supported, and heard throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. Your body. Your birth. Your voice. Your autonomy. 🤎🌿

She is an amazing doula! Very supportive and my favorite was the knowledge she gave me. I always felt confident in the care she provided because she educated me to the point where I understood what was going on within me, and what I can do to fix it. She was AMAZING in labor, very calming and I’m glad she was there. I wouldn’t have had the birthing experience I did without her.

Hiring Madison as our home birth doula was the best decision we made. From the very beginning, she brought such a calming, grounded presence that made me feel safe, seen, and truly held. During my labor, Madison was integral—she anticipated my needs before I could voice them, offered comfort through touch, movement, and breath, and reminded me of my own strength in the moments I doubted it. She supported my partner just as beautifully, giving him guidance so he could feel confident and present with me throughout the birth. Madison’s deep trust in the birthing process was contagious and helped me stay connected to my body and baby. I truly cannot imagine my birth without her. She was not just a doula—she was an anchor, a guide, and a witness to one of the most powerful experiences of my life. I will be forever grateful.

Nice to meet you! I’m Alyssa. I’m a boy mama x 2. After having two very different birth experiences, I’m passionate about supporting and educating parents leading up to birth and beyond. With a long induction + c-section birth and also a non-medicated VBAC under my belt, I feel well equipped to support all moms. I love to integrate a holistic approach to birth work, but I also appreciate modern medicine when truly needed. Every mom has their wants and needs when envisioning the birth that they desire, and I love helping them get from where they are to where they want to be. I value breastfeeding and postpartum wellness as well and love to help moms troubleshoot or problem solve when needed. The saying “it takes a village” holds a special place with me as I often feel pulled to be that village for fellow mamas. I strive to make other moms feel appreciated, supported, informed, and confident in their God-given abilities! I live in the Indianapolis area with my husband + our two boys. I love mom hangs, adventuring with my fam, being my kids biggest cheerleader + checking out new local food and coffee spots with my husband.

Alyssa was my doula for the birth of my 3rd child. I know that because of her, I had a beautiful, natural, physiological birth. I did not have a doula for the births of my first 2 children but after having her be such a vital part of my birth team, I wish I had invested in a doula for them. The birth of my 1st child was long and difficult, and I can confidently say that if Alyssa had been there, it would have been completely different. She is kind, incredibly generous, loves the Lord, and has a calming presence that makes her a perfect doula for someone like me. I have a lot of anxiety and do better when I have someone who is both gentle and firm. Alyssa became a part of my pregnancy journey around 18 weeks along. I was able to talk about my previous births, my indecision about where to give birth, and the difficulties I had experienced with secondary infertility. I had an initial consultation and 2 prenatal appointments with her in person where she was so attentive and wonderful about helping my husband and me to think through what I wanted my birthing time to look like. She was also available by phone and text, and I appreciated so much how often she checked in with me (and reminded me that I couldn't over communicate with her). A very big reason I decided to pursue a birthing center birth where I knew I wouldn't be able to have an epidural (I'm definitely not great with pain and had epidurals with my first 2) was because of her encouragement and also her suggestion to pursue using Hypnobabies. I was skeptical that Hypnobabies would work for me, but I'm so thankful I worked through and completed the course. Not only was the hypnosis vital to my 3rd's amazing birth, but the Hypnobabies materials reinforced what I already knew, as well as taught me new things that gave me confidence I was definitely lacking in previous births. Alyssa is such a wealth of information. I felt very safe going to her with my questions, concerns, and even my frustrations. She was fabulous at reminding me of God's sovereignty, His perfect timing, and that she was praying for me. During my actual birthing time, Alyssa was a strong, calming presence that involved herself when she needed to and also let me work through the different stages of labor. I was so thankful for her constant reminder to relax my face (the idea being that a relaxed face is a relaxed uterus), and how she kept me on target from one stage to the next. She helped me try different positions (one even included a nap) and got me setup to be able to enter the birthing tub just when I needed it most. I had a water birth, something I had always wanted to have! She kept me on course with my Hypnobabies tracks to keep my focus where it needed to be. I'm so thankful for everything Alyssa did for me during pregnancy, my birthing time, and also after birth and in the weeks following birth. She is a fantastic doula and an amazing person. I highly recommend her and am so happy to do so.
