Fee Details

Part of my business philosophy is that everyone should have access to the resources they need to have the birth that is best for them. Unfortunately, this perspective is not shared by the medical system as it currently exists. Therefore, I have created three pricing tiers so that those with more are able to help those with less.

Rachel was such a good match for us as we were going through the birth planning and birthing process. She was incredibly helpful in walking us through our birth plan and reminding us where we had choices throughout every step of the labor, delivery and first hours of having a newborn. She made me feel empowered and was supportive of our decisions while also encouraging me to reframe some ideas I had based on the birth of our first child. Her presence during my labor and delivery was calming and reassuring. Even though this was our second child, the whole experience was completely different and we were so grateful to have Rachel by our side as we welcomed our daughter into the world.

Rachel was a fantastic support for the birth of our child. It was wonderful to have her walk alongside my partner and I as we navigated prenatal, labor, birth, and postnatal experiences. I would highly recommend her services. Thank you Rachel!
