I provide my postpartum doula services on a sliding fee scale and/or a payment plan. My fee is $0 - $25/hour for the first 6 hours of postpartum doula services and meetings prior to the baby’s arrival and $0 -$15/hour after the first total 6 hours. The fee can be paid by cash, check, or credit card (credit card processed through PayPal). I believe every woman deserves a doula. Please talk to me in person before you decide my doula services are not for you because of financial concerns.
