Do you welcome individuals of all faiths, backgrounds, and family structures?

Yes. While my personal faith is an important part of who I am, I welcome and respect individuals and families of all backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. My role is to provide supportive, respectful care, and I do not introduce faith-based discussions in a professional setting unless it is something you wish to incorporate. I am also happy to honor and support cultural traditions and personal preferences in care whenever requested.

What are midwifery administrative support services? 

Midwifery Administrative Support Services are remote support services designed to assist birth professionals and practices with administrative organization, workflow support, documentation systems, scheduling, client communication, and operational tasks. 

Are These Services Clinical Care? 

No. Administrative support services are non-clinical and do not replace clinical judgment, medical decision-making, or direct patient care provided by the supervising provider. 

Are Services Customized? 

Yes. Administrative support services are individualized based on the needs, size, workflow, and goals of each practice. 

Is Training Included for Inventory System Set-up? 

Inventory integration services include system walkthrough, setup guidance, and final handoff instructions.

What age range are Young Women’s Educational Visits designed for? 

Young Women’s Educational Visits are designed for adolescents and young women seeking age-appropriate education surrounding women’s health, cycles, body literacy, puberty, hormonal changes, reproductive wellness, and related educational topics. Age range is 9 years old to 18 years old. This greatly depends on the development of your individual adolescent and what time you feel is appropriate. 

Are parents or guardians encouraged to participate?

Parents or guardians are encouraged to participate in sessions to help create greater comfortability continuing conversations and educational discussions outside of visits.

Are these appointments medical visits?

These educational visits are intended to provide age-appropriate wellness education and guidance and are not intended to replace medical care or establish treatment for medical conditions.

How long are visits?

Young Women’s Educational Visits are scheduled as 2-hour educational sessions.

Are sessions confidential?

Educational visits are designed to encourage open communication within a family-supported environment. Communication outside of scheduled sessions will generally remain through a parent or legal guardian when appropriate.

What is the role of a virtual doula?

A virtual doula provides educational, emotional, and preparation support throughout pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and family transition through virtual communication and educational visits.

Why do families choose virtual doula support?

Many families choose virtual doula support for flexible access to childbirth education, preparation, emotional reassurance, advocacy education, and postpartum guidance without the limitations of location, in-person scheduling, or the need to have an additional person physically present during birth.

Do you accept Medicaid for doula services?

Yes. Sweet Miracles Women’s Health accepts Washington State Medicaid insurance for qualifying pregnancy and postpartum doula services.

When should I hire a doula?

Many families choose to hire a doula during pregnancy to allow time for prenatal preparation and relationship building, though availability may vary depending on due dates and scheduling.

Do you physically attend births?

Doula services are currently offered virtually and are designed to provide educational, emotional, and preparation support throughout pregnancy, labor preparation, postpartum recovery, and family adjustment. This does not include on-call birth attendance. 

Is a deposit required?

Some packages and payment plans may require a deposit upon signing the service agreement. All balances are due by 36 weeks gestation unless otherwise discussed within the selected payment plan.

Who are these educational sessions designed for?

Partner & Birth Team Education sessions are designed for partners, spouses, family members, and trusted individuals who would like additional education surrounding labor support, postpartum adjustment, communication, cycles, intimacy, and family transitions.

Do I need to be expecting a baby to book these sessions?

No. Some sessions may be helpful for individuals preparing for pregnancy, postpartum recovery, long-term relationship support, or greater understanding surrounding women’s health and cycles.

Are sessions purchased individually or as a package?

Partner & Birth Team Education sessions may be booked individually or as part of the Complete Educational Series.

Are sessions therapy or relationship counseling?

No. Educational visits are intended to provide educational guidance and supportive discussion and are not intended to replace therapy, relationship counseling, or mental health services.

What topics are covered?

Topics vary based on the selected educational session and may include labor support, advocacy, postpartum adjustment, newborn transition, cycles, hormonal changes, intimacy, communication, and long-term educational support surrounding women’s health.

What is placenta encapsulation?

Placenta encapsulation is the process of preparing the placenta into capsules following birth according to selected preparation methods and safety protocols. For more information about research and components of the placenta please see the placenta encapsulation page. 

When is payment due? 

Payment is due in full by 36 weeks gestation unless otherwise discussed. If you desire these services after 36 weeks gestation, payment is due upon signing the contract. 

When should arrangements be made?

Families are encouraged to arrange placenta encapsulation services during pregnancy to allow time for contracts, education, and preparation instructions. There are options for last minute orders or postpartum orders if the placenta was handled properly.

What should I do after birth if I plan to encapsulate my placenta?

Instructions regarding storage, refrigeration, transport, and timing will be provided prior to birth.

Are there situations where encapsulation may not be recommended?

Certain medical situations, infections, medications, or placental concerns may affect eligibility for encapsulation services. These are rare complications but possible. In this event, I can still do keepsakes but can not process it for consumption. 

Do you offer placenta keepsakes?

Please refer to the placenta encapsulation page for current keepsake options and package availability.

At Sweet Miracles, we value your time and strive to provide thoughtful, dedicated care for each client. To ensure availability for all, we kindly ask that you review our cancellation policy:

Cancellations & Rescheduling

• We recommend at least 48 hours' notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling. 
• There is currently no fee associated with last minute cancelations as we understand life can happen, but more than three occurrences can result in termination of services without refund. 

No-Shows

• Clients who do not attend their appointment without notice will not be refunded for their booked service and must reach out to hailey@sweetmiracles.org for rescheduling. Sweet Miracles will not send out a request for rescheduling for no show appointments and will only reschedule upon patient request. 

Late Arrivals

• If you arrive late, your appointment may be shortened to respect the time of other clients or rescheduled for a later date. The choice is up to the patient and dependent on how late the arrival time is. There are no refunds for shortened visits if due to the patients tardiness, but there are no additional fees for rescheduling a visit.

Emergencies & Illness

• We understand that unexpected situations arise. Please reach out as soon as possible, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Rescheduling does not incur additional fees. 

At Sweet Miracles, each service is thoughtfully scheduled and prepared for in advance. As a small, independently run business, I am unable to offer refunds for services once they have been booked and paid. 

If you need to cancel an appointment, I understand that unexpected situations can arise. Whenever possible, payments may be applied toward a rescheduled visit, provided notice is given as soon as you are able. Please see the cancelation policy. 

I truly value each client relationship and strive to approach every situation with understanding while also honoring the time and preparation that goes into this work.
