Birth Doula Services Package
$2,300
I am committed to providing equitable care to my community. My rates are a sliding scale and I offer reduced rates to BIPOC birthers. Partners are included in every meeting.
​
​I accept Medi-Cal insurance and am contracted through Kaiser and Partnership. Starting in 2025, Kaiser covers Doula services for all members. I also work with perinatal benefit providers such as Carrot and Progyny.
​​
Be sure to check with your employer and insurance, as Doula services are often covered and can be paid for through an HSA. And consider adding a Doula Fund to your registry! Support makes the best gift.

Labor and Birth Support Only
$1,300
Includes one virtual prenatal visit to review birth plan. On-call from 38 weeks to when your baby is born. Continuous labor support from my arrival at your birth location through the immediate recovery phase.
Surrogacy Birth Support
Extended support for both gestational carrier and intended parents, with a fully customized contract based on your needs. Can include assistance in creating a birth plan, prenatal meetings, and of course continuous labor support at your birth location. As Surrogacy often includes travel, I serve clients with birth locations from Mendocino to Sacramento to San Jose.
Why work with a Doula for your Birth?
When people receive support from Doulas, there are measurable improvements in their health and the well-being of their newborns. These benefits include a higher rate of bodyfeeding initiation, a decrease in low-birthweight babies, and a reduced rate of Cesarean births. Doulas play a crucial role in mitigating the negative impacts of racial bias and discrimination within healthcare by offering personalized, patient-focused care and advocacy.
