BIRTH DOULAS
With this service, one of our professional birth companions will accompany you before, during, and after labor, providing the emotional, informational, and physical support that you need.

Fees are open to discussion and payment plans may be created.
POSTPARTUM DOULAS
With this service you will receive in-home support and care as you transition to parenthood. Each family will be able to outline what types of help they desire. Your postpartum doula can help with mother's recovery, breastfeeding, newborn care, meal preparation, errand running, household upkeep, sibling support, and overnight care to facilitate more rest for the whole family! This support is scheduled by the hour depending on your needs and may be most helpful to you during the day or the night (minimum 4 hours/day). Average fee for seasoned doulas $30-50/hr. Fees are open to discussion and payment plans may be created.
