Fee Details

Standard birth doula service I offer: prenatal visits for birth plan & birth education; early labor call/visit; in-person/virtual birth support (vaginal/c-section); immediate after birth support (vaginal/c-section); and referral & after birth debrief. My fee is a flat fee and a surge of $250 will be charged for births during the holiday. I accept only out of pocket and payment can be customized. Add-on ($30): warm handling to healthcare/social providers or other services; consultation for clinical or/and non-clinical issues arise during 4th trimester/after birth; and consultation for birth outcomes beside childbirth (e.g., elective abortion) & survivor of gender based violence. My doula practice approach: Trauma Informed, Gender Transformative Approach/Feminist Pedagogy, Cultural Competence, Life-Course Perspective, Team Science, Intersectionality, and Human Centered Design.
