Doula Services

If a doula were a drug, it would be unethical not to use it. ~ John H. Kennell, MD

I am currently accepting clients.  If you take a class with me through the YWCA, take $100 off the stated cost of service!

A doula is a woman trained and experienced in labour and delivery who provides emotional support and care to you and your partner during your labour and delivery.

Benefits can include:

shorter labours, less medical intervention, decreased levels of anxiety, increased feelings of labour being a positive experience, and empowerment of the birthing mother.

Basic Services:

  • Interview
  • Customized prenatal visits
  • 24 hour on-call availability from 38 weeks gestation
  • Continuous labour support through 2 hours postpartum
  • nurture and protect your memory of the birth of your baby
  • 2 postpartum visits

I do not take the place of your partner.

 

Unlimited Phone & Email Support

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to, and I am happy to be that person! Whatever, whenever... I'm available to you.

So what does all this cost?

Hiring a doula is definitely an investment, but it can be an integral part of creating a birth experience that you can look back on with joy. My all-inclusive, flat rate for the services outlined above is $700. A $350 deposit is required to put you on my calendar.

Payment plans are available

 

 

No woman who wants a doula will be refused doula services because of financial restrictions.  There are doulas who work for a reduced rate while working towards certification or when just starting out.
