Pregnancy is personal. Your care should be, too.
At Embody, our approach is rooted in the midwifery model of care, combining evidence-based medicine with education, informed choice, and meaningful relationships. We take time to understand your health, answer your questions, and support your decisions throughout pregnancy.
Our team brings together midwifery, women’s health, pelvic floor therapy, lactation support, and movement to provide connected care throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
We provide personalized prenatal care and help coordinate your transition to a hospital-based OB/GYN or midwifery team for delivery. Delivery care may be arranged through Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center in Wilmington, NC, or Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune or Onslow Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, NC, based on clinical needs, provider arrangements, and eligibility.
After delivery, you can return to Embody Health for routine postpartum care, with continued access to lactation support, pelvic floor therapy, and ongoing women’s healthcare.

Yes. We provide prenatal care and coordinate with your hospital-based delivering team.
Yes. You can return to Embody Health for routine postpartum care after delivering with a hospital-based team. We also offer support for postpartum recovery, lactation, pelvic floor health, and ongoing women’s healthcare.
Starting January 1, 2027, the American Medical Association is retiring the single “global” pregnancy code that bundled prenatal care, delivery and postpartum care into one bill. Plans, including NC Medicaid and Blue Cross NC, now bill each phase separately: prenatal visits, labor and delivery, and postpartum care.
For you, that means your prenatal and postpartum visits at Embody Health are billed to your plan visit by visit, and your hospital-based team bills for delivery. What you pay depends on your plan’s copays, coinsurance and deductible, and we verify your benefits before your first visit. NC Medicaid does not charge out-of-pocket costs for pregnancy-related care.

We currently coordinate ultrasounds with outside imaging providers. In-office ultrasound services are planned for Spring 2027.
Often, yes. Pelvic floor therapy can address pain, pressure, leaking and birth preparation during pregnancy. Your clinician will determine what is appropriate for you.
You can start before birth. A prenatal visit gives you time to talk through feeding goals, history and potential challenges before your baby arrives.
No. Clinical care is available whether or not you are a studio member.
