Fee Details

Standard birth doula service I offer: prenatal visits for birth plan + Q&A; early labor call/visit/text; in-person/virtual birth support (vaginal/c-section); in-person immediate after birth support (vaginal/c-section); and in-person/virtual post-partum visits (including referral and screening). 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 service 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 and/or medically necessary 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.
