A Million Reasons to Work for Yourself:
August Edition w/ Angela Kristie LLC

You can conduct business meetings via paddleboard whenever you want🌊

In all seriousness though, having time to cut loose and relax outdoors gives us the brain space and the inspiration to continue offering high quality care and support.

It seems like transformation is in the air- and not just the seasons. Some I can explain with words and some I just feel. But, we adapt. We change. We grow and get stronger.

Good things are coming, keep paddling ❤️

And yep I had already fallen in lol

Love it when past clients visit 💜
Especially the funny ones 🤣

Several of my favorite days of summer, the hot miserable ones that my beloved Michigander friends and family can't tolerate, were absolutely wasted on possibly having this GI issue that seems to be exploding (pun very much intended) across Michigan.

This thing is NO JOKE. Like Oregon Trail you have died of dysentery type illness.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, elderly, or health compromised in any way and come down with this, be careful with yourself. If you aren't any of these things but know people who are- check on them!

It is going to be super hot for a little while- stay indoors.
You will need electrolytes and lots and lots of fluids.
If you have any signs of severe dehydration (rapid heart beat, dizziness, confusion, discolored skin, or very low urine output) please see a doctor immediately.

They say they don't have a source pinned down yet. Personally I am avoiding restaurants for the time being, washing everything throughly, and buying local produce whenever possible.

Be safe friends 🙏

📣URGENT📣call for help in the way of public comment:
Michigan Medicaid has proposed coverage for licensed midwives. Many of my clients have asked about this, others have not been able to become clients because it didn't exist.
There are two proposed policies. You can read them here:

Fee-for-Service Coverage of Licensed Midwifery Services. https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/-/media/Project/Websites/mdhhs/Assistance-Programs/Medicaid-BPHASA/Public-Comment/2026/2609-Maternal-P.pdf?fbclid=IwY2xjawRgWFJleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFVWXVjbktlaXdlUmJqY1Jxc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHgnnaZb2Nh9-nJfEysXSTg2ZgTaK7vMiI-6hlfB-uZVqj5Z-j9SNZjT-VtF1_aem_sLT9wS97DbrN3kigKxKXYg

Coverage of Planned Homebirth Services and update to Medicaid Covered Doula Services.
https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/-/media/Project/Websites/mdhhs/Assistance-Programs/Medicaid-BPHASA/Public-Comment/2026/2608-Maternal-P.pdf?fbclid=IwY2xjawRgWIhleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFVWXVjbktlaXdlUmJqY1Jxc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHjKGxmbEq74wS4qUIahppzVJ1pwQT71ZKC7unomAX5SMDw_2Bu05a02OmX3z_aem_zCFbnuyVripM4uNNYl2xQw

There is an email on the first page of each for Janelle Troutman. PLEASE send comments on the proposed policies to her by May 13.
It would be wonderful to increase access for Medicaid carrying families, however, there are some concerns with the policies. Especially how they limit the scope of the midwife pertaining to things like multiple gestation (twins) and breech delivery. We are allowed to attend these births in the state of Michigan, and midwives fought hard for that. Please let the state know you do not want your access to quality midwifery care limited because of insurance policy. Another issue raised by many is the low reimbursement rates for all providers. You could also let them know about that!

If you are concerned about increasing health care costs and the burden on the system, SO AM I. Please know this does NOT add anything to the Medicaid budget. About half the births in this country are already paid for by Medicaid, this bill and others like it will not increase that. If anything, midwifery care will improve outcomes, leading to healthier families who need less healthcare.
