A Doula Site

These are some of the services I provide to my clients, but I like to costumize my services to the each family's needs.




SERVICES

* Labor and Delivery Doula

Fees

I charge a flat fee of  $600.00 per birth, so it doesn't matter if you are in labor for 2 hours or 48 the fee is the same.  50% of full payment (nonrefundable) is due at our 1st prenatal visit with the remaining 50% due at the postpartum.  I feel that during labor the family has enough to think about without worrying if they have paid me.  Additional postpartum visits are available at $15.00 an hour.

Third Party Billing

Though many insurance companies are not covering doula services yet, you can certainly apply for compensation.  A form is available upon request and I highly recommend sending one in.   The more people who ask for compensation the more likely a company is to add Doula services to their billable services.

What you can expect:

  • Initial interview to meet and decide if I am the Doula for you. (free)
  • 2 prenatal visits
  • Assistance in drawing up a birth plan that is right for each family
  • Attendance through labor and for at least 1 hour after delivery
  • 2 Postpartum visits 1st at 24 hours after delivery, 2nd at the 6 week mark.
  • Unlimited phone consultations both prenatal and postpartum

It is my intention to assist mothers, fathers, and partners in what is sure to be the most life challenging and exciting times in their lives. It is also to help make this time an exciting one by helping to eliminate fear, manage pain, and help with relaxation techniques.

It is important to state once again that I am not a Midwife and cannot perform medical procedures.  You still must hire a Doctor or Certified Midwife for prenatal visits and birth of your baby.
