Birth and postpartum doula in Philadelphia and South Jersey
The prices below reflect how much the services are worth. I offer payment plans and services on a sliding scale for those who need it. I also offer a reduced rate for postpartum doula support for those who qualify for PA / NJ Medicaid (The reduced rate does not apply to overnight doula support). I am contracted with the Maternity Care Coalition's Community Doula program that can match families to doula services with no cost to them.
Additionally, I am New Jersey Medicaid doula provider and can currently accept the following insurance plans below FOR BIRTH DOULA SERVICES IN NEW JERSEY ONLY, with insurance covering up to 8 prenatal and/or postpartum visits. We can work together to create a package that works best for you. However, for first time birthers, 4 out of the 8 visits will be used for childbirth education and preparation.

Postpartum Packages
Packages are offered starting at 16 hours to be used within 12 weeks after giving birth and/or when baby comes home.
Each package includes an in home session to discuss postpartum plans and preparation. Each visit is a minimum of 4 hours. Postpartum visits can be scheduled on Monday - Friday mornings from 5:00 AM - 9:00 AM or Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings between 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM.
Overnight doula support is offered 1-2 nights per week from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM or 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. For families seeking additional nights, I collaborate with a fellow doula to provide seamless care by alternating shifts. You will have the opportunity to meet me, and if applicable, the other doula, before booking to ensure we are a good fit for your family. Please note that overnight doula services are not eligible for a sliding scale and cannot be combined with morning or evening shifts.
Please reach out for a consultation to create a package that works best for your family's needs.
