Fee Details

I am a very new doula, and currently looking to attend two more births so I can get my Traditional Healthcare Worker certification and be able to take Medicare! I am currently sliding scale $500-$2000, depending on what my clients need and what we discuss. Once I have my certification and am more established, these fees will change. The general things I provide are 2-3 prenatal visits where we talk through needs, fears, desires for the birth and form a birth plan together. My services include me being on call from week 37-42 of your pregnancy and access to text or call me during that window, and before if needed. Then for me to attend the entire birth and up to a few hours postpartum, I leave once parent and baby are fully settled, either in a recovery room in the hospital or at home. I do one postpartum visit within the first week or two after birth, depending on client’s preference.
