Can it get any cheaper than $299? Yes!
We’re growing. And we’re adding some apprentice doulas to our team.
The natural fit for the interim is to have other members of our practice fill in the gap while we interview and hire new doulas. Amy Nevland is our childbirth class instructor. She is DONA trained, and is an apprentice doula, she needs only one more birth to become a certified doula. Janet Jones is our resident Lactation consultant. Janet also has DONA training, and has done all of the requirements with the exception of the required births for certification. Both of these mamas have two children of their own, have attended many births, and are skilled and compassionate in their roles as doulas.
But because they are not certified – they are offering their services to our collective at a discounted rate. Amy and Janet will be attending births to clients who are open to a more junior doula, for a 50% discount from our $299 standard doula package. If you are open to having Janet or Amy attend your birth, you will be charged $150 for the service (or refunded $150 if you have already paid in full). For the upper two packages the package price will be discounted $150 if you’d prefer Janet or Amy at your birth.
As an aside – we’ve also decided to change our refund policy – if you decide that you do not need a doula at any time before we arrive at your labor, we are going to refund the entire doula fee ($299) – this changes from the $250 we have recently offered. It is our continued policy to provide the best doula care we can in and out of the delivery room, so we want you to be 100% comfortable in signing up with us, and 100% comfortable that if you change your mind at any time you won’t be financially penalized. I’m not sure of any other doula in town that offers a flexible policy like this so we want to be the best.
