Birth doula fee: $100 to $375 Postpartum doula hourly rate: $15 Fee details: I believe childbirth education classes are vitally important in helping create a relaxed, positive atmosphere during birth. You and your baby will be better served by attending childbirth classes prior to your labor. In addition to students learning relaxation techniques, good nutrition, and how to stay low-risk, attending classes allows us to get to know each other better, so we can be confident and comfortable with each other during the labor.
For these reasons, I offer birth support to my childbirth education students for only $100 above class tuition.
For women who decline childbirth classes, I offer birth support for $475.
I offer postpartum support at a rate of $15 per hour for all women.
