"for far too many women pregnancy is something that happens to them rather than something they set out consciously and joyfully to do themselves."  -Sheila Kitzinger

Should you decide that I am the Doula for you, you will receive the following-

2 prenatal visits to discuss your birth visions and decide how we will work together to achieve your goals

I will provide evidence based information so that you can make your own informed decisions

Unlimited phone and email contact before, during, and after birth

Assistance in creating your birth plan

I will be on call for you 24/7 beginning 2 weeks before your due date and continuing  until your baby's birth day

Continuous labor support at home and/or hospital

Reassurance of a back up doula if necessary 

Assistance with breastfeeding if needed

One postpartum visit at your convenience

Pictures if you choose to have them taken by me sent digitally or on a disk

What I WON'T do-

I do NOT perform any clinical tasks such as blood pressure, vaginal exams, or fetal heart tones

I will NOT make any decisions for you

I will NOT speak to medical personnel on your behalf

Fees

My total fee for all of the above is $500**

$150 is due when you retain my services and this will secure your due date.

The remainder of $350 is due by 38 weeks when I begin the on call period.

**I truly believe in your right to birth your baby the way you want to and I want to help you.  Please do not let cost be your only reason for not hiring a Doula.  Payment plans may be available.
