Fee Details

I don’t set a flat rate. I just ask my clients be honest with me and pay what they can afford . If that is nothing that is completely okay, i never want money to be the reason you don’t have a doula. I also don’t accept insurance simply because I don’t want anyone over my head telling me how to do my job when YOU are the one who hired me.

Charity was everything I hoped for in a doula. 
the constant support during pregnancy and then during birth was phenomenal. 
during my labor she continuously reminded me how strong I was and how my body was made for this. She helped me move my body and try different things to keep my labor from stalling! I ended up only laboring for a total of 5 hours, start to finish, and I fully believe it was because of her! 
she prayed over me and my baby during transition when I felt the weakest. The constant reminder and affirmations she gave was exactly what I needed to go all natural!

Charity is not only a wonderful and knowledgeable doula, but a empathetic person that puts any worries you have at ease and always has a listening ear! 

Charity worked with us on the birth of our son after the loss of our first earlier in the year. She was attentive and understanding of our concerns connected with our loss and put us at ease with this birth preparation. She explained all our questions, equipping us with the needed information to make our own informed decisions.
When we had sudden issues arise at the end of this pregnancy, taking our original plan of a home water birth to a medically necessary early C section, Charity brought her medical knowledge and represented us in the face of potential medical disagreements. She kept meticulous records that assisted us in standing firm in our medical rights. She was not afraid to speak up on our behalf and ask questions regarding our safety. Charity was available during the emergency visits when we needed the most support and were unsure, providing us with much needed comfort during uncertain times.

Throughout pregnancy Charity provided us with multiple resources on any topics we asked. She never pushed her own opinions, but made sure to provide all the facts for us to feel comfortable in our decisions. She went above and beyond to not only be an educator, but provided a much needed community for first time parents. 
you can't go wrong having Charity on your team! She will become your best friend, biggest champion, and teach you everything you need to know to succeed in your pregnancy, birth, and life with a newborn!
