Birth Doula Care
Birth Doula care begins anywhere between 20-30+ weeks of pregnancy. Birth Doula support prepares families to understand how birth happens, their values and preferences when it comes to birth, what options are available to them based on their unique circumstances, how to make informed choices, and how to remain comfortable, resourced and empowered throughout labor. Services include access to curated Outer Sunset Birth Care resources and Evidence Based Birth® materials.

My rates are aligned with standard doula rates in the Bay Area, and my services are billable to Medi-Cal and most insurance providers in the state of California, as well as employee benefit providers like Carrot and Maven. However, I know that every family's circumstances are different. I'm happy to tailor support and care based on your needs. Reach out to schedule a consultation so we can talk through what kind of support would feel most helpful for you.
