All birth support packages are “choose your own pricing” ranges - I have chosen this model to remain as accessible as possible while increasing my pricing for cost of living & experience.
At this time I accept: Check, Venmo, and Paypal (including HSA/FSA cards)
Some insurances will reimburse for doula support, but I am NOT in network with any insurance at this time.
I am a CARROT approved provider. I also often work with Maven and other similar benefits.

The first green bottle indicates meeting all basic needs, the second blue bottle indicates some debt but regular achievement of basic needs, and the third black bottle indicates debt and limited ability to meet basic needs.

Economic Justice Sliding Scale

The Green Bottle Sliding Scale is more than just a payment option for me it’s a commitment to making doula care available to all families. Please note all prices above are standard pricing, and lower cost options ARE available.

My services are available for sliding scale pricing for everyone. I work hard to remain accessible and anyone paying top tier pricing allows me to continue to offer deeply discounted services to those who need it.

Here are general guidelines (based on the Green Bottle model in image shown on the left, developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk; www.wortsandcunning.com) that describes how the sliding scale rates work.

If you are seeking doula support, but can’t afford them at my current rates listed, please review the graphic and send me an email, Let’s Talk!
