Caesarean Clause
If your labour results in a Caesarean Section (non elective), I will still be involved in your journey. Most hospitals and birthing centers only allow 1 person alongside mom in the operating room. If your partner goes with you, I will wait in the recovery room until post partum services and required. If a C-section is elected and you do not wish for me to accompany you; I require 30 DAYS (1 month) cancellation notice. Your down payment deposit will also be refunded.
Twins, Triplets or Even More Clause
If parents are expecting multiple babies, I will be on call from 34 weeks on if Package #1 or Package #3 is chosen. If Package #2 is chosen, an extra $100 will be added per child to the total charge.
Cancellation Fees
If parents decide they no longer want my services, I will need notice at least 30 DAYS before the baby’s due date and your deposit fee will be retained.
Failure to Attend Birth
If I am unable to attend your birth for whatever reason, a secondary doula will be sent in my place and your fees will be refunded.
All my packages include a Consultation.This meeting is to ensure all questions about myself and my services are answered; and each person involved understands what services I offer/how I work. You are under no obligation to hire me after this meeting; I respect the decision made by the parent(s). I offer 3 different packages for my services. Take the time to decide which is best for you and your partner!
*A down payment fee of 20 percent is required for each package.*
*Prices vary depending on what clients can afford and may be completed in installments if necessary.* We can discuss more in depth if you choose my support!
Package 1: Prenatal & Labour
This package includes:
- Two pre natal visits in the setting of your choice (your home, a restaurant, or other public place). The first meeting will be to discuss your pregnancy and allow me to become familiar with your symptoms and your pregnancy experience overall. The second meeting will be to discuss your birth/placenta plan, preparation for labour, answer any questions, and possibly discuss a back up plan. If you request more visits, these can be scheduled for an extra $50 a meeting. Alternatively, you may call, text, or email me at any time for continuous support.
- I will be on call from 38 weeks into your pregnancy until your due date. If you believe you are in labour, experiencing contractions, or your water breaks, please call me immediately. To prevent false alarms, it is recommended to call your doctor or midwife to let them know your symptoms
- I dedicate myself to the mother and her partner during active labour for up to a total of 30 HOURS. I will support mom through the use of breathing techniques, massage, positioning and much more. I will make sure mom’s voice is heard in terms of her opinions and boundaries with her birth plan, her body, her placenta, and her baby. I will stay by her side if anyone in the room needs to walk away for a break. If labour extends 30 hours, I will need to call in relief for a short period of time.
