How are self deciding sliding scale works... Our sliding scale fee is based on a system of honesty. Never will you be asked to show proof of your financial situation. Step 1- Pick the birth doula package that fits your needs. Each package will have a listed price range. Step 2- Pick where in that range you are able to pay. If you are paying on the lower end of the range. Then you are allowing your community to help you and paying my expenses. If you are landing in the middle then you are covering expenses and your doulas time. If you are able to commit to a higher end of the scale, then you are helping keep this structure going and other families gain access to much needed doula support. Thank you!

Payment plans are available for birth doula packages. Ideally a deposit of $500 will be acquired at the time of booking. The remainder of the services will be split into monthly payments and paid off by 36 weeks. If this does not fit within your budget let me know during our consultation and we can adjust it for your families needs.
