This sweet pumpkin made his entrance 6 weeks ago and what an honor it was to care for his mama through her pregnancy, birth and postpartum. ❤
We love our clients here at Brookhaven and these sweet pictures are always a great reminder on why we do what we do!
Even though care is complete, we love seeing updated pictures or even a stop by to say hi from our mamas and their sweet babies! ❤

This week our office Mascot, Juniper, learned to scramble eggs and make hearts out of Babybel cheese wax 😂❤️.

We were also blessed with a generous gift of a gorgeous Norfolk Pine for our classroom space. This tree is stunning and has been loved for many years by the amazing Lenna Kiefer. I look forward to continuing to nurture this magnificent tree for many more years.

And a huge shout out to my Tree moving companion. It was a tumultuous adventure trying to get this big tree moved but we did it. 😊

Healthy pregnancy + healthy birth = saving$ down the road

Finances and medical insurance shouldn't dictate how we give birth. Unfortunately, it's a reality we all have to face.

So how do you make your dream birth experience affordable for you and your family?

1. Start with your pregnancy & birth goals! Prioritizing yours & baby’s health from the beginning is one of the best ways to avoid costly medical expenses down the road.

2. Talk to someone about your financing options. We're happy to help!

3. Do you have medical insurance? Find out what kind of contributions you might get. Even out-of-hospital medical care is increasingly covered by most insurances. Don't have insurance? We offer a discounted non-insurance rate.

4. Make a payment plan. Most providers (including Brookhaven!) will offer a way to pay off medical expenses in a timeline that works for you.

At Brookhaven, we do our absolute best to make our care accessible to anyone by accepting insurance, Medicaid, cost adjustments and more. Give us a call or join one of our weekly consultation sessions to find out what your options can look like.

Today marks the first day ever that Alena has used a drill. And she nailed it!! 😂😂😂

I stood by and gave advice for the first hole and then left her at it. Perfectly level and secure. She gets stuff done!

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

Today we remember babies from all around the world born sleeping, those we carried but never held, those we held but never got to take home, and those who came home but could not stay.

Parents we see you and we always want to remember your precious babies. In the comments share a photo, a memory, a name of your sweet little one or simply leave a heart. 💗

And of course, we almost missed it!

Midwives are busy, in the thick of caring for moms, babies, community, and all the tasks it takes to keep a private small business up and running.

So happy National Midwifery Week to all the midwives working relentlessly today to provide critical healthcare, and all who carried the tradition before us💛

It was such an honor to serve this family for a second time, and we are beyond thrilled to share the gorgeous photographs that Gina took. She was a gem to work with, and we hope to see her many more times as we welcome more babies into this world.

It was an incredible honor to serve this family for a second time. And we are so grateful to Gina Kuznear for the gorgeous photos!

Placentophagy, or consumption of the placenta, is believed to gradually replace the hormones lost so rapidly after childbirth and therefore eases drastic mood swings that can occur postpartum. These can also help with restoring postpartum iron levels, increasing your energy and stabilizing hormones. Here at Brookhaven, we offer placenta encapsulation, placenta tincture, placenta truffles, and placenta prints to any mom in the community who are interested in this service. 😊
