Birth
Doula
Package
$1250-1500
Instead of one set fee, I consider any amount in the above range to be the ‘full fee’ for my standard doula package.
Quoting a range and allowing my clients to solidify the final amount allows for more different families to work with me – without sacrificing being able to meet my own family’s needs even as the cost of living rises.
I strive to provide the as much time, energy and expertise as is needed for the best support to each family I work with.
Every family is unique.
Every family that would like a doula should have access to a doula.
If the cost of a doula is a barrier to having the birth you would like, and you are not able to meet an amount within my ‘full fee,’ please reach out to discuss your specific situation. I may be able to lower the fee further, offer a payment plan, an alternative doula package, barter or point you to resources you may find helpful.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Interview
Our doula-client relationship starts with a free 30-40 minute interview. This gives us a chance to get to learn about each other and to discuss what's most important to you in doula support.
1-2 Prenatal Visits
Prenatal visits last 2-3 hours, and we aim to meet twice before you have your baby. We use this time for pregnancy support and preparing for labor and postpartum.
Unlimited Phone and Email Support
From the moment you hire me to 3 months postpartum, I will be available by phone and email for any birth, labor or postpartum consulting. This may include emotional support, help finding information, help with advocacy, or pointing you to a specialist.
I will also ask for permission to periodically check in on how you, your pregnancy, and your family are doing.
On Call from 36-42 Weeks
During this period I am ready to answer a call or text 24/7, in case you are in labor, or have any time-sensitive questions.
Continuous Support During Labor
Often labor starts off slowly, and we'll have a few hours or even days of intermittent support by phone, before it picks up. Once you're ready for continuous support, I will stay by your side through labor, birth, and a few hours postpartum. - long enough to help you get situated for some peaceful rest.
Postpartum Visit
We try to have a postpartum visit in the first or second week after birth, depending on your needs and availability. These visits are completely individualized based on clients' needs, but the aim is always to make this time of transition smoother emotionally and practically.
