Total Investment:
$1000 (payment plans available) * I am able to accept HSA * I truly believe every woman should be able to have a doula. Please don't let cost be a barrier! I enjoy being able to work with a few couples throughout the year at a reduced cost. Contact me to discuss this as an option!
