Fee Details

My fee range is intended to be sliding scale/pay what you can. For births: First half is due upon confirming service with me and second half is due at 37 weeks gestation. If this payment schedule doesn't work for you, I'm open to discussion. For postpartum: I bill weekly for hours worked. I have a 3 hour minimum.
