How to Contact Me
If you're looking for a homebirth midwife in San Mateo, Santa Clara or
Alameda Counties, I'm happy to send you detailed information about my services.
Please let me know your due date, where you live, whether this is a first
or subsequent baby, and what kind of insurance you have, so I can send
you the relevant financial information. My e-mail username is ronnie,
and my domain is gentlebirth.org. Of course, you need to put
an @ sign between those two to make it work. I'm making this
somewhat cryptic because I've discovered that having my e-mail address
on the web has made me the target for hundreds of spam messages a day.
So, I also have multiple layers of spam filtering built into my e-mail
system.
If you have a legitimate reason to contact me and need to make sure
your e-mail gets through my spam filters, just make sure that you put at
least one of my keywords in the e-mail header. My keywords are related
to the legitimate reasons why you might want to contact me - because I'm
a midwife and doula, attending homebirth and hospital
birth. If I don't respond to your e-mail within a day, please do
leave a phone message at 650-961-9728 so I can look through my spam filtered
messages to find yours.
I wish this weren't so complicated. I'll look forward to hearing
from you.
Getting Answers to Your Personal Health Questions
I always encourage people to get answers about their personal health questions
from their personal healthcare providers. The information contained
in these web pages is general information and cannot possibly be tailored
to your personal health situation. Only someone who knows your full
medical history can make critical recommendations about your health.
However, if you are looking for general information and are having trouble
finding it, you can:
-
Search for Local Resources
-
Search the Midwife Archives hierarchically,
read
some of my other writing, or look
for an article that I have formatted for another author
-
Do a text search for this web site
-
Search other online health resources
-
Hire me to do a personal information search for
you - I am available for hire as your personal research assistant.
My fee is $1/minute. In order to initiate a personal health information
search, first prepay through PayPal
for as many minutes as you'd like me to spend on your case. (My PayPal
e-mail address is the same as my regular e-mail address.) Then send
me e-mail describing your information needs and letting me know how
many minutes you've hired me for. Obviously, I cannot provide personal
health care over the internet and in states where I'm not licensed; all
I can do is to collect information that is already on the internet or in
my midwifery library. I regret that I do not have time to respond
to the many requests for free assistance that I receive each week.
Web Pages Feedback - I appreciate reader assistance
in improving these web pages. Please read the specific information
you need about:
After reading the above, please send the information to me at this e-mail
address: feedback, at my domain, gentlebirth.org.
Of course, you need to put an @ sign between those two to make it
work. I sort through feedback about once a week, so don't be surprised
if it takes a while to receive a response. Thank you for your
assistance!
