Financial Help
I believe that everyone should be able to have a doula and education. I do a number of clients a year that can not afford to hire a doula/take a class at full cost. Please email me and explain your situation if you feel that you would qualify for this help.
I can also possibly work with someone who needs a more relaxed payment plan. Again, please email me. If I can not work with you I can try to help you find someone who can.
Why a doula costs what we cost
I am a mother of 4. I know what it is like to have money be a stressor. I know what it is like to want a doula and feel that it is out of reach. However, it was worth it to me to scrape up the money with my last birth. I am so glad I did because it literally changed my life.
We charge what we charge because we are so available to you and will spend a great deal of time with you. I only take one client a month so that I am sure that I will be there for your birth and not at someone else's. I am available without limit by phone or email from the time I am hired. I will meet and spend a great deal of time with you before birth. Even if your birth is 24 hours I will be by your side. I will be right there with you throughout your labor. After birth I also meet with you and spend time with you. I help with breastfeeding and helping you process your birth experience.
A doula is very committed to you in a physical and emotional way. This day is going to be one of the biggest in your life. How much did you spend on your wedding? I believe a birth deserves as much, if not more, attention. I promise it is money well spent!
