Fee Details

*I am based in Alert Bay* My lower fee is for an hour long pre-natal visit to discuss what your prepared birth plan is and what support is needed from me. I will be available by text from 2 weeks before EDD ,throughout labour and 1hr postpartum and be available to by text for any questions or concerns for 1 week after delivery. The higher fee is for two 2hr prenatal meetings, 24/7 on call from 4 weeks before EDD, stay with client until settled postpartum(1-3hrs), and a 2hr postpartum in the home to discuss any concerns and offer any advice. I also offer sessions(listed on my website starting from $30) for relaxation during labour/birth and sessions for new expectant mothers(and partners, if involved)...to answer questions they may have about whats to come, to help them decide on some birth paths, maybe find a relaxation technique or two to use.

Natasha was a very energetic easy to talk to person, she was super helpful and answered all of my questions, She's great for people who are anti-social or overall quiet kept to self people.

We had her for a few overnight postpartum and I totally recommend it to momma's that need their sleep she's great with babies.

Natasha was amazing, she was supportive, kind, understanding, friendly, hands-on. we met a few weeks before I gave birth we went over birth plans, she explained a lot to me, taught me a lot of things, we connected very well, she stayed in contact with me everyday. When I first went into labour we texted all day and she helped me through a lot of things and taught me a lot and made me feel strong. She is an amazing doula, friend, and support.
