We do not bill insurance for a few reasons:

• We want to maintain a small, relationship-based practice where we can focus on providing quality care rather than managing insurance paperwork and restrictions. 
• Insurance companies often limit chiropractic coverage (especially for children and in pregnancy), dictate the number of visits "allowed", or determine what care they will reimburse, if at all.
• We believe your care should be based on your individual needs and our clinical recommendations—not insurance restrictions.

Although we do not bill insurance directly, we can provide a superbill upon request. You may submit this to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your individual plan.

•  Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic technique commonly used during pregnancy. It focuses on gentle adjustments to the pelvis and surrounding soft tissues to help improve pelvic balance and function. It is intended to reduce musculoskeletal restrictions and support comfort and optimal pelvic biomechanics during pregnancy

Dr. Sammy is a doula and continues to incorporate her knowledge into practice but is not currently accepting doula clients. Contact Dr. Sammy and she can help you with recommendations of doulas who are currently accepting clients. Please include estimated due date, location, birth preferences, budget, and any other specifics in your inquiry. 

The Greek word doula means woman who serves or woman caregiver. A birth doula:

• recognizes birth as a key life experience that the mother will remember all her life 
• understands the physiology of birth and the emotional needs of a woman in labor 
• assists the woman and partner in preparing for and carrying out their plans for birth
• stays by the side of the laboring woman throughout the entire labor 
• provides emotional support, physical comfort measures, an objective viewpoint, and assistance to the woman in getting the information she needs to make good decisions 
• facilitates communication between the laboring woman, her partner, and clinical care providers 
• perceives her role as one who nurtures and protects the woman's memory of her birth experience 

It has been shown, women provided with continuous labor support via a doula are:

• 28% less likely to have a cesarean section 
• 31% less likely to use synthetic oxytocin (Pitocin) to speed up labor  
• 9% less likely to use any pain medication 
• 34% less likely to rate their childbirth experience negatively 

"Continuous support during labor has clinically meaningful benefits for women and infants and no known harm. All women should have support throughout labor and birth" 

(Hodnett and colleagues, 2011)
