Your birth doula will be with you throughout the peaks and valleys of your journey, offering continuous support from your prenatal experience, to labor and the into the first hours after your baby is born. She will provide you with the physical support such as suggesting different labor + birthing positions, rubbing your shoulders and creating and maintaining a calm + peaceful environment for you to welcome your little one. Your doula will provide emotional support, by putting your mind at rest, motivating you to keep to your goal, intuitively tuning into your needs as you focus on your birth, and assisting in navigating as your birth takes its own unique path. Your doula will provide informational + educational support by expressing and relating to what you may be experiencing, preparing you to know + observe your own experiences as safe, and advocating what is most important to you. All the while, your doula will provide support to your partner and your family, by holding space and offering guidance for them to participate in your birth journey as you are comfortable.

FEES + SCHEDULING:

Depending on location and your family’s needs, fees will be assessed. We can match you to the doula who will best address your situation and wishes after a conversation. Please call us to get to know our doulas and coordinate pricing!

• To reserve your birth window, a non-refundable registration fee will be due upon signing of the contract - unless otherwise agreed upon.

• Paid in-full before going on call at 36 weeks (flexibility offered if you call us beyond this time frame.).

• Payments may be arranged incrementally as well, please do ask.

We offer sliding scale services and firmly believe having a doula is a right rather than a privilege. All families deserve accessibility to quality doula support. Connect with us for sliding scale, trade or incremental payment plans.
