Traditional Birth Doula Support ($1500)-discounts do apply, read below
This package includes tailored support during pregnancy and birth. I offer a free consultation and two prenatal visits (about 1.5-2 hours in length) that are held in your home. The visits include birth plan formation as well as teaching you and your partner coping skills to help during labor. I also provide clients with extensive information on physical and mental preparation for pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. The information pertains to nutrition, exercises for optimal positioning including Spinning Babies, benefits of chiropractic care & other services for mom and baby, techniques for stress relief, & referrals for the best resources for pregnancy and postpartum care. All of this information can be easily accessed through my online client portal. My care also includes full support during labor and birth and one in-home postpartum visit (about 1-1.5 hours in length) to help you process your birth and provide help on basic breastfeeding and newborn care as well as postpartum recovery and healing for yourself.

Payment Plans/Options

I offer two payment plans. Whichever plan you choose, the last deposit is due by 35 weeks. 

• 50/50: Clients can pay the first 50% up front when the contract is signed. The last 50% is due by 35 weeks. 
• Monthly: Or clients can choose to pay my fee monthly, from the date they sign the contract to 35 weeks. 

Payments can be paid electronically, straight from my invoice, through either Square or PayPal. There is an auto-pay option and reminders are routinely sent to let clients know when future payments are due.

I can also accept payments through check. Checks must be mailed to me. 

Insurance/Healthshare Ministries/FSAs/HSAs

Some employers offer benefits to help pay for doula services through their health insurance plans. Clients who have worked for Boeing and Walmart have been successful in getting my services covered, either fully or mostly. If you are unsure if your insurance would cover my services, I suggest calling and asking. I do have an NPI number and all information needed to possibly get services covered if an employer is willing. Clients must pay me up front and receive reimbursement from their insurance company.

Some healthshare ministries will cover part of my services. If you have one, I suggest calling your company and checking. 

Many FSAs and HSAs can be used to cover doula services. Again, I would call and check to be sure. I process payments through Square and PayPal so clients do not tend to have issues using their FSA/HSA cards to pay me.
