Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book?
Birth clients are best booked as early as possible. Postpartum and virtual care can sometimes be scheduled sooner based on availability.

Yes. Namaste Mama accepts specific insurance plans and benefit programs. You can submit intake details for eligibility review.
Can I start with virtual and upgrade later?
Absolutely. Many families begin with virtual planning and later add postpartum or in-person support.
