As a trained professional with 15 years of experience, I do ask fair compensation for my services. I truly value the positive benefits of doula care, and do not want financial hardships to make those services inaccessible to mothers who desire them yet cannot afford it.
Should you find my fee unaffordable, I am willing to discuss alternate options with you such as trade possibilities, payment plans, and a gift registry for your baby shower.
The prices below are based on a sliding scale. You determine the services you want and how much you can afford as well as the value of such services.
For your convenience I do accept credit card payments through PayPal (additional service fee applies)
