Birth + Postpartum Package
As both your birth and postpartum doula you get the added benefit of bringing someone into your newborn bubble who you already trust and have experience with. The relationship that is built during the prenatal period and through your birth translates seamlessly into postpartum. Additionally, you receive a discount on both services.

Cost of Services
Green Bottle Sliding Scale
I use the green bottle sliding scale framework to price my packages equitably. Thank you to Alexis J. Cunningfolk for developing the green bottle method.
"For a sliding scale to work it relies on the principles of truthfulness, respect for complexity, and accountability. I do not ask for income verification. I trust my students and clients to be honest. Community thrives when accountability is a central value, because that is where trust grows and depth work can be done. Teachers deserve to get paid and students deserve classes which recognize the multiple realities of economic access and privilege that exist." - AJC
