Fee Details

My birth doula fee reflects years of hands-on experience supporting laboring families alongside numerous holistic midwives. As a student midwife, I spent 2.5 years learning directly in birth rooms—observing patterns, supporting long labors, witnessing a wide range of birth experiences, and understanding how preparation, environment, and steady support shape the way birth unfolds. This package includes intentional prenatal sessions that go beyond surface-level education. We focus on how labor may ebb and flow, how to work with your body, how partners can offer meaningful support in real time, and how to stay flexible when plans shift. I’m on call from 37–42 weeks and provide continuous labor and birth support for hospital, birth center, or home births, including inductions, epidurals, and cesareans. You’re investing in experienced, intuitive support—rooted in holistic care, intentional preparation, and a steady presence shaped by experience with both home and hospital birth.

Absolutely wonderful experience with Jerika!


Jerika worked with our family and our 6-month-old baby for 10 weeks, and I can’t say enough amazing things about her. She is incredibly kind, gentle, and knowledgeable—everything you could ever hope for in a nanny doula. From the very first day, I felt completely at ease knowing my baby was in her care.


Jerika is thoughtful, patient, and so attentive to every detail. She was always timely, consistent, and professional, but also brought such warmth and compassion to our home. I learned so much from her about baby care, postpartum recovery, and even birth—she’s truly a wealth of knowledge and someone you can talk to for hours.

 

I would recommend Jerika to any family, for babies of any age, but especially for newborn care. Her calm presence and genuine love for what she does make her a true light of a person. We are so grateful for her support and the positive impact she’s had on our family.

Jerika was amazing with the encapsulation of my placenta! She was very flexible and understanding of our schedule and we were the same to hers. She made my capsules in just a couple of days and delivered them as promised! Not only is she professional but she is such a kindhearted lady. I 100% recommend and I rate her a 10/10 for our first experience! Thank you again Jerika!
