Fee Details

My postpartum doula fees range from $60 to $75 per hour, designed to provide comprehensive support during your family's unique recovery and adjustment period. The $60 hourly rate covers support for families with a single baby, while the $75 hourly rate applies to families welcoming multiples, acknowledging the increased demands and specialized care required. For families seeking awake overnight care, my fee is $100 per hour. This premium rate ensures dedicated, attentive support throughout the night, allowing parents to get much-needed uninterrupted rest, knowing their little ones are in capable and caring hands. All fees reflect the personalized, nurturing, and professional support I provide to help you navigate the beautiful, yet often challenging, postpartum journey with confidence and peace of mind.

Kim was an absolute gem! I went into labor two weeks early and Kim came to the rescue after the doula I hired  was unable to make it to my birth due to another client's early birth. this was my first birth and my husband and I were at a total loss as far as comfort measures. Kim helped me feel confident with my choices and was excellent communicating with the nurses to keep me comfortable during my labor. Aside from the birth, she was also just lovely to talk to and gave me the best foot massage of my life! We tell all our friends and family that we were so lucky to have Kim as our doula! The universe sent her our way but if we decide to have another baby, I will definitely call Kiim Stinger!

Kim provided postpartum doula care for both of my newborn daughters. There was no better feeling than watching them fall fast asleep in her arms while I disappeared for a nap during those exhausted early days. I also learned a lot from Kim about baby soothing, bottle feeding, and when (not) to expect the babies to develop sleep routines. I appreciated her calm presence and her highly skilled care. I could not recommend her more highly.

Kim is quite simply amazing - I cannot recommend her highly enough. She was our birth doula and provided postpartum support at nights, and we would have kept Kim with us forever if we could. She joined us at the hospital during a long induction, and from her physical supoort (foot rubs and breathing guidance during tough contractions), to her emotional support (kindness and humor), to her thoughtful guidance (helping us to talk through options), she made the whole experience better and much more manageable. In the postpartum setting, she provided wonderful care for our new baby and made us feel capable, confident, and better slept as we navigated this challenging time. Hire Kim! You will be so glad you did.
