Fee Details

Through Threshold Birth Care, I offer relationship-centered, individualized doula support tailored to each family’s unique needs throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. I provide birth planning consultations, virtual doula support, and comprehensive birth and postpartum care rooted in evidence-informed education, compassionate presence, and steady support. My goal is to help families feel informed, confident, and empowered in their choices. I am a certified holistic birth doula with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Public Health. My approach is grounded in respect, trust, and individualized care—creating a calm, supportive space where each family’s values are honored as they cross the threshold into parenthood. I intentionally limit my birth clients to approximately 1–2 families per month so I can provide continuous, responsive support. Availability varies based on due dates and current on-call commitments.
