Fee Details
Advanced care: Complete clinical prenatal care, in home mother/baby postpartum care. Monitrice services (monitoring of mom and baby during labor), miscarriage prevention/management, prenatal education and labor preparation. Clinical prenatal, postpartum and baby care is reimbursable or directly billable by insurance. In-network with Carrot & Premera/Blue Cross Blue Shield/Regence. I am not currently offering stand alone “doula” services as I have an advanced level skill set and am in high demand for out-of-hospital birth as a midwife. Comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care is essential for good outcomes, so I provide midwifery visits in addition to the very minimalist and rushed care most receive through their hospital based providers.. I also attend breech vaginal deliveries and can assist in external cephalic versions (turning of breech babies).

When the day comes to bring life into this world, you're going to want Elka by your side. My whole journey from pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum she was so knowledgeable. There's so many questions to ask during this time, and Elka was so helpful in answering every single one of them. She is such a kind and hard working person who genuinely cares about your well being as well as the well being of your baby. Elka knows exactly what to say when you're in the thick of it to help you feel strong enough to push through. She exceeded my expectations and she'll exceed yours too!

Elke has been absolutely wonderful to work with. From our initial visit I knew I was in good hands. Her knowledge on physiological birth gave me great comfort knowing that what ever happened I was in good hands and could trust her judgment. She respected my wishes and did everything she could to help me get the birth I desired. I would recommend her and anyone who she chooses to be apart of her team.
