Fee Details
Hello! I am a doula serving the Greater Victoria area. I am also a mom of 3, fitness coach, Holistic Nutrition Weight Loss Coach, and community mental health support worker. My birth doula fee is $1200. This includes up to 2 prenatal visits where we would get to know each other and figure out your ideal birth plan. I would attend to you during your labour, at your home or the hospital, be present for the birth of your child, and provide up to 2 follow up visits after the birth. My postpartum visits could include such things as breastfeeding support, baby wearing support, light meal prep and house tidying, breaks for the new family, and community referrals and resources. I look forward to hearing from you! My postpartum rate day time/evening rate is $40 an hour and includes the above listed supports. I charge $50 an hour for overnight support as well as support with multiples.
Leah is a warm, caring and highly professional doula. I instantly felt at ease with her and knew that we would be in good hands for postpartum support. She offered great advice, comfort and assistance throughout our time together. I was able to heal quickly and our whole family was able to maintain a normal schedule during the early newborn phase. We highly recommend Leah to any family seeking doula support.
