Services & Fees

Labor Doula Package

1-3 Prenatal Appointments
These are held at your home or Well Rounded Momma. They usually last about 2 hours long, where we discuss your birth plan, get to know one another and learn driving directions.

Meet Your Care Provider
If you would like me to attend a prenatal with you, so that I can meet your Care Provider, I can do so.

Help Identify Your Support Needs
Exactly what kind of support do you need? Emotional? Physical? Educational? Do you have enough supplies and support for, or after the birth? Do you need any referrals or would you like to borrow some books? 

Unlimited Phone Consultations
I can be that person you can call at 3 a.m. to vent or voice any worries or concerns you may have, or simply answer any questions that may come up during your pregnancy.

24 hour on-call availability during your due date range (4 weeks)

Childbirth Education
I can help you put together a birth wish list, postpartum plan and help you manage anxiety.  You also get access to my lending library and discounts for childbirth education classes.  Clients also receive a complimentary copy of the book "Seasons of Change" by Suzanne Arms.

Relaxation
During stressful times I can offer massage, aromatherapy, mantras, show you breathing techniques, visualizations and meditations that can help you relax.

Nourish Yourself
Discuss several ways to nourish yourself, including nutrition, exercise, meditation, and spirituality.

Continuous Labor Support
Relaxation techniques, including visualizations, encouragement, massage, and birthing positions.

Partner Support
Some partners feel unable to help during pregnancy, labor and postpartum.  I can provide ideas, exercise, massage and labor position instruction for the partner that wants to be more involved.  Or be the main source of physical support for the mother if the partner wishes to take a less active approach.

Breastfeeding Support 
Help with first breastfeeding and referrals to local mommy groups and lactation consultants.

2 Postpartum Visits/Follow Up
During the first postpartum appointment, I usually come over within the first few days after birth.  I make sure you are settled in well, that your postpartum plan is in affect and breastfeeding has been established. I may or may not give referrals based on how things are coming along. The last Follow Up visit is generally a week or two later.  We go over your thoughts about how the birth went, if you need any additional support, how breastfeeding is going, and if you need any ideas about baby wearing devices or co-sleeping ideas.

I am also certified in Neonatal Resuscitation in case of emergencies and I do bring an Ambu bag and an emergency obstetric kit with me. Back up Doulas are provided in the rare case that I am unable to attend your birth.

My fee for all the services listed above is $500 for a home birth, $600 for a hospital birth. Fees for hospital birth is more, due to the liability of getting you to the hospital in time.  All forms of payment are accepted.  If you are a low-income family, please call me for rates by income or trade services.

If for some reason you are unable to afford private doula services you can find discounted doula services for $250 through Well Rounded Momma's Community Doula Program.
