BIRTH DOULA PACKAGE:
Birth doula services are generally provided as a package for a flat fee, regardless of the number of hours of service provided during the labor and birth (so the family can relax knowing they don't have to pay more if the labor goes slowly).  My standard birth doula package includes:
  • One complimentary 30-minute consultation/interview appointment to ask questions, get to know me and decide if I would be a good fit for you as a doula.
  • Two 90-minute prenatal appointments to clarify birth preferences, write/review a birth plan, discuss birth fears/beliefs and develop strategies to help create your desired birth experience.  These sessions are customized to meet your needs and can include birth coaching, if desired.
  • Three 60-minute coaching sessions to address prenatal and/or postpartum concerns.
  • Phone & e-mail support during pregnancy and the initial postpartum period.
  • Continuous emotional, physical and informational support at your home, birth center and/or hospital from early or active labor until 1-2 hours postpartum; this could include:
