Fee Details

I offer three birth doula support packages ranging from $1,200 to $2,500, providing families with varying levels of preparation and support throughout pregnancy and birth. Each package includes continuous on-call labor support, unlimited phone and text support during pregnancy, and personalized prenatal sessions to prepare for labor, review comfort measures, and develop clear birth preferences. My mid- and upper-tier packages include additional prenatal visits for deeper preparation. As a Body Ready Method–trained doula and movement professional, I also guide families through positioning, body awareness, and practical strategies that can support comfort and efficiency during labor. The premium package includes an at-home, in-person postpartum visit to support recovery and early adjustment after birth. Payment plans are always available—let’s find what feels right for you.

From the very first day, Chandel was truly heaven sent. As a first-time mom navigating preeclampsia, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect, but she immediately brought a sense of calm, clarity, and strength into my journey. She helped me ask the right questions, advocate for myself, and understand how to navigate such a complex and emotional experience.

During labor, she was absolutely crucial—right alongside my mom and my partner. Her presence grounded me, reassured me, and gave me the confidence to keep going, even in the most intense moments. She knew exactly what I needed, often before I could even express it.

Her support didn’t stop there. Through my extended hospital stay and even once I was back home with my son, she continued to show up with care, guidance, and compassion. She checked in, offered support, and made sure I never felt alone during such a vulnerable time.

Chandel is more than a doula—she is a lifeline. She is one of the reasons I’m still here today, and for that, I will be forever grateful. Her impact on my life and my birth experience is something I will carry with me always.

We had such a great experience with Chandel as our postpartum doula after welcoming our first baby. She was incredibly responsive and always easy to reach, which was so reassuring during those early weeks. Chandel made us feel comfortable right away and fit so naturally into our home and routine. Her calm, supportive presence helped us feel more confident as new parents. She shared helpful advice, answered our questions, and offered support in a way that never felt overwhelming or pushy. We truly enjoyed having Chandel as part of our first postpartum experience and are so grateful for the care and support she provided. We would absolutely recommend her to any family looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and dependable postpartum doula.

Working with Chandel as my doula was one of the most meaningful parts of my birth experience. She is the kind of person who makes you feel cared for from the very beginning—genuinely kind, deeply knowledgeable, and always attentive. Even when things didn’t go as planned with the birth of my daughter, she was right there, steady and supportive, helping me through with practical guidance and emotional encouragement. Though I was bed-bound due to an epidural, she even helped me with some moves to try and get my daughter more engaged in my pelvis.

Her presence in the room made such a difference. Chandel suggested positions that eased the process, reminded me to breathe and refocus when I felt overwhelmed, and carried such a positive, grounding energy that helped me stay calm during a stressful time. I always felt that she was rooting for me, advocating for me, and holding space for me every step of the way.

What stands out even more are the conversations we had before, during, and after my daughter’s birth. They weren’t just about the medical or technical aspects of labor; they were about me as a person—my hopes, fears, and feelings. Those talks, coupled with her steady reassurance, left me with such fond memories.

Looking back, I truly believe her support shaped my experience for the better. Chandel is more than a doula—she’s a partner in one of the most vulnerable and life-changing moments a person can go through. I feel so grateful to have had her by my side and can honestly say she’s just awesome.
