Payments & Discounts
An initial non-refundable payment of ½ the package amount is required to reserve your due date. Full payment is requested by week 36. I am happy to work with families to find the payment plan that works best, so please ask if alternative payment arrangements are needed. Discount of 10% is given for Military, full-time students and first responders. Keeping a reasonable and fair fee for my clients and myself is important to me. I believe that anyone that wants a Doula should have one.

 *Only one discount per contract, this includes any running specials at time of signing contract.

Backup Doula Care
Backup doula support in the case of an emergency or if I am unable to get to you when labor starts is provided by my partner Aly Sidjakov or through The Doula Care Collective. This is extremely uncommon but just in case, you will not be left without support. I am 1 of the amazing Doulas from the Doula Care Collective – a group of wonderful Doulas who support each other while building community. One of these women would support your birth if I could not attend (unless you have another Doula in mind for backup services). Also, as part of the Doula Care Collective, we arrange monthly gatherings for all new/current/previous clients (and their families) to come meet the backups and get to know other local parents and babies!
