IMPORTANT:
As a doula, I am not a medical professional. I will not perform clinical tasks such as vaginal exams, fetal heart checks, blood pressure, etc. I will not make decisions for you or speak to your care provider on your behalf. I will do whatever I can to get you the information you need to make your own informed decisions. I will discuss your concerns with you, suggest options, and remind you of your birth preferences.
INVESTMENT
A NON-REFUNDABLE RETAINER FEE OF $350 IS DUE UPON SIGNING MY CONTRACT TO RESERVE YOUR SPOT ON MY CALENDAR. THE REMAINING TOTAL IS DUE BY THE 36th-WEEK OF YOUR PREGNANCY (unless another timeline has been contractually agreed upon).
My fee takes into account the average amount of time I spend with each client during pregnancy, labor/birth, and the postpartum period. It also includes the value of my professional training and experience, as well as personal compensation and cost of materials.
