Fee Details
The fees depend on family income and scope of my service (eg basic care vs advanced ayurvedic care, Nidrabirthing sessions, added special rituals, treatments etc. I'm currently working towards Medicaid certification. The lowest fees are available for a limited number of low income families who either cannot find or won't qualify for Medicaid covered doula.
