Doula Packages and Pricing
Package or Individual Service
I can provide a package or individual services depending on what your individual needs are. All options include the same, continued support and guidance throughout your pregnancy and birth outlined here. For first time parents, I recommend a Lamaze Childbirth Education starter session. We will cover all things birth, in both a holistic and evidence based way.
If you’ve attended independent prenatal birth education in this pregnancy or a previous pregnancy, we can use our two pregnancy visits to refresh your knowledge, work together to know your wants and needs in your birth & best prepare you for this journey.
