Don't wait to meet midwives until you are pregnant - although you can! Come and visit with us prior to conception! You can ask questions about homebirth and how it differs from hospital birth and address any concerns that you may have. It is always best to be educated and prepared, and we are here to help guide you! We have updated our meet and greets to the first Thursday and the third Tuesday of the month. More information below.
We have changed up our monthly meet and greet a bit in order to give those needing a later time an opportunity as well. There will be one Tuesday and one Thursday option.
The first Thursday of the month from 12 pm to 1 pm will continue to be hosted by Kara.
We have added the third Tuesday of the month from 5 pm to 6 pm hosted by Julie (although please note that in the month of September it will be the fourth Tuesday).
Feel free to sign up for more than one day if you would like to meet us both!
Location: Lower Level of Home Holistic Yoga Studio
7927 Floyd St. Overland Park, KS 66204
Sign up on the Home Holistic website under classes so that we can contact you in case of a cancellation.
Unfortunately, walk-ins cannot be accommodated - please sign up by 5 pm on the evening prior.
Because we are dedicated to the intimacy of a small homebirth practice and the safety net of planning two midwives at your delivery, we accept only 4-6 client families monthly. In order to assure a space with us, you are welcome to reach out via email or phone if you wish to get the process started prior to a scheduled meet and greet.
Most of the time those pursuing homebirth have a good understanding of what is involved and how it is different than hospital birth, but not always. Feel free to come with questions as well as just to meet us! It is also a time for us to meet you. We can talk about our experience, address any concerns that you may have (while not giving medical advice), and mutually determine whether we would all desire to journey together during this most blessed event! We have posted on our home page a 30 minute video where we talk about ourselves and homebirth in order for those interested to gather some understanding. We have also added a very thorough FAQ section to our website. Please take advantage of these resources. If there is still more information that is needed or you do not prefer the meet and greet format, there are other options. We can simply talk with you on the phone. Or we can set up a "zoom" call. Or we can find an open slot in our schedule to meet with you for 45 minutes in private. If specific times or days are needed outside of our normal schedule and we are able to accommodate, there will be a fee of $100. If, thereafter, we are mutually agreeable to journeying together this amount will be credited towards your homebirth package fee.
So we launched our podcast before Covid hit. The first 3 episodes discuss our background, our experiences, and how we got to where we are today. We then published a few episodes of interviews with our homebirth moms. Then we dropped the ball! Our sincere hope is to get back to interviewing and getting more episodes
