Please Inquire for rates

What is included:

  • Free initial consultation/interview

  • One face-to-face prenatal visit to introduce the doula to older sibling(s) and to learn the family’s needs, possibly helping the children to understand what to expect, reading books, looking at photos or videos about birth and welcoming a new sibling into the family.

  • On-call services from 38 weeks until the birth of your baby

  • Continuous childcare as long as needed during the labor/birth and early postpartum hours (additional charges apply after first 12 hours of support) 

  • If the parents prefer to have children present during the birth, the doula will explain to the child(ren) what is happening so that they can understand, and be ready to leave the room if the child becomes overwhelmed or anxious—or at the parent’s request.

  • Back-up doula for extenuating circumstances (birth longer than 24 hours, sickness, etc.)

  • One postpartum call/visit to see how everyone is adjusting.
