Birth and postpartum doula support
Birth services
Continuous pregnancy and labor support for all bodies, all birth settings, all kinds of birth.
My birth package includes:
2 prenatal visits to prepare for your birth
Unlimited text support through your pregnancy and beyond
24/7 on call support from 37 weeks until your birth
Support during your birth in your chosen setting
One postpartum wrap-up meeting in your home
My fee for these services is $1000.*
*I do not want cost to be an obstacle to families seeking support. A sliding scale is available upon request.
-
All of the support listed above.
-
Basic package + 60 hours of postpartum care when you arrive home from the hospital, or immediately if you had a home birth. Booking this package in advance secures my lowest hourly rate for postpartum.
$2500

Maybe you’ve given birth before and feel confident with the support you’ve lined up, but you’d still like some help writing a birth plan. Maybe your partner feels like they want to learn some basic techniques to help support you physically during labor. This call is a place for you to talk to an expert, get feedback, and leave feeling confident in yourself and your choices.
$50. Available as a one-off only, separate from the free consult I offer to those seeking to determine if we are a good fit for birth/postpartum services. Arise Doula does not dispense medical advice.
Postpartum services
What does postpartum support look like?
Meal planning and nutritional support
Intentional recovery for the birthing parent: sitz baths, herbal support, processing/writing birth stories, and more
Baby care
Baby wearing education
Older sibling care and pet care
Sleep support for parents
Light household management: laundry, tidying, and all the other things that go by the wayside when you have a new baby.
Daytime shifts last a minimum of 4 hours and are billed at a sliding rate (see below).
Overnight shifts are 8 hours and can be booked between the hours of 7 am and 7 pm.
My hourly rate for these services is between $25-40 depending on the package booked.
-
$40/hour for a daily rate (4 hour minimum)
-
$35/hour for 8-20 hours of support over one week
-
$30/hour for over 20 hours of postpartum support
-
A night of support allows you and your partner to get the rest you need to recover! During an overnight shift, I take care of your baby’s wakings, feedings (if requested), and diaper changes. In the morning, you will feel rested and refreshed with your full night of slumber.
$375 for one overnight | $350/night for multiple overnights
