You have heard that doulas provide emotional, physical, and informational support, but exactly what does that look like? Included in my complete labor doula package is the following:
Prenatal
• 2 in-person prenatal visits
• unlimited phone, email, text support
• access to my library
• assistance in writing your birth plan
• information on a variety of topics including (but not limited to) homeopathy, aromatherapy, breastfeeding, natural birth, VBAC, parenting, cloth diapering, chiropractic, circumcision, optimal fetal positioning, newborn care – consider me your personal research assistant!
• resources and referrals
Labor
• in labor I will join you at your home or place of birth, depending on your preference, and remain with you for the duration of your labor and birth until 1-2 hours postpartum
• physical support with a focus on comfort measures and positioning to encourage labor progress
• emotional support and encouragement
• support and guidance for your partner
• an objective sounding board to encourage full informed consent as you make decisions in labor
• essential oils (used aromatically only)
Post-Partum
• 1 in-person visit to address early difficulties or to process your birth
• phone, email, text support for first six weeks
• access to my library
• basic breastfeeding help
• resources and referrals
I am currently offering the above package at a rate of $1200 (travel beyond 30 miles from my home may be subject to an additional charge). I accept payments in the form of cash, check, or credit card. Check with your FSA or HSA plan administrator to find out whether they consider doula services a reimbursable expense. I am happy to provide a receipt for this upon request.
I do offer special packages for repeat clients - email for more details!
For those families who do not desire full labor doula support, I also provide a la carte planning sessions at $50/hour (2 hour minimum). These are tailored to your needs, but might include things such as writing a birth plan, learning about options for birth including interventions, teaching your partner different strategies for comfort in labor, etc.
