Training Documentation

Fee Details
My doula services are designed to be accessible and flexible to meet your financial needs. I offer a sliding scale and payment plans, ensuring that everyone can benefit from support during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. For added convenience, HSA/FSA payments are accepted. I am also in the process of enrolling in Medicaid in New York state and Pennsylvania, which will provide an additional option for coverage. My goal is to provide compassionate, professional support, regardless of your financial situation, so you can focus on a healthy and empowered birthing experience.
