I truly believe in the invaluable benefits of doula support for every woman and birthing person, regardless of their background or financial means.
I am committed to ensuring that ever woman has access to the support and care they deserve. ​To honor this commitment, I offer tailored birth packages on a payment plan. This means that you have the freedom to determine what you can afford, allowing for greater accessibility to my services.
​Just as you entrust me with an incredibly intimate time of your life, I place my trust in you to consider the value of the support I provide and determine the level of assistance that best suits your family and financial circumstances. It is my priority to ensure that you receive the support you need to have a positive and empowering birth experience, without financial constraints.
​Please don't hesitate to reach out and discuss alternate payment options available. Together, we can find a solution that enables you to receive the support you deserve on this transformative journey.

Wondering how a doula can help you?
"Overall, people who received continuous support [from a doula] were more likely to have spontaneous vaginal births and less likely to have any pain medication, epidurals, negative feelings about childbirth, vacuum or forceps-assisted births, and Cesareans. In addition, their labors were shorter by about 40 minutes and their babies were less likely to have low Apgar scores at birth. There is a smaller amount of evidence that doula support in labor can lower postpartum depression in mothers. There is no evidence for negative consequences to continuous labor support." -Rebecca Dekker, PhD, RN.
