Sliding Scale Options for Doula Services
I understand that birth and postpartum support should be accessible to all families, regardless of financial circumstances. To accommodate different budgets, I offer a sliding scale pricing model based on income and need.
How It Works:
Standard Rate – The full cost of services, supporting sustainable doula care.
Reduced Rate (25% Off) – For families with financial limitations who need some assistance.
Community-Supported Rate (50% Off) – For low-income families who are not Medi-Cal beneficiaries and could not otherwise afford care.
Families who pay at the Standard Rate help subsidize care for those needing reduced pricing!
