Birth Doula Services
Photo credit: Natalie Bee Photograhy
There is no charge for a consultation. This "interview" meeting is used to get to know one another. It is important so that we may both ensure a good fit.
Doula Services Includes:
* Two prenatal visits in the comfort of your home
* Bowen Therapy sessions during prenatal visits if desired
* Assistance in creating a birth plan that reflects your birth wishes
* Access to my lending library
* Availability by phone or email 24/7
* On call for labor 24/7 from 37 weeks on
* Continuous labor support at your home and/or hospital
* Use of massage, aromatherapy, relaxation and Bowen Therapy techniques during labor to ease discomfort
* Use of obstetric TENS unit (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)
* Guidance with labor positions that can facilitate an easier and quicker delivery
* Breastfeeding and immediate postpartum support, generally 1-2 hours after baby is born
* One postpartum visit in your home to ensure everything is going smoothly and Bowen therapy for you and baby if desired.
Rates:
I offer my doula care at the rate of $850. A deposit of $425 is due upon hiring and $425 is due at 37 weeks.
This is a flat rate, regardless of the length of your labor. I believe every woman who wants a doula should have one regardless of financial circumstances. Please contact me if you need a special payment arrangement. Reduced fee available for those with financial hardship.
I offer a discount of $100 toward the tuition of my Birthing As Nature Intended (BANI) classes when combined with doula care.
Please view my current birth availability calendar. If your due date falls on a green date I am available for your birth. If your due date falls within a few days of the 'green', it may still work, since babies tend to come unpredictably. I will always be on-call from approximately 37 weeks until baby arrives.
