What sets Ora Doula Services apart:
connection
I believe getting that face to face time is the best way to build trust, and that trust is essential to feeling at ease during your birth experience. This is why I spend a lot of time with my clients at prenatal appointments. If you see me 3 times before your birth (consultation and 2 appointments) you can expect 5-6 face to face hours with me. In comparison, if you see your provider 12 times during your pregnancy for 15 minutes each time, that’s 3 face to face hours. I take this time because I know what a difference it makes to have a doula that you feel knows you and that you trust to hold space for you during your birth.
As a Doula, I Do Not:
-
I am not a medical provider and do not perform clinical tasks, such as taking blood pressure, fetal heart checks, or vaginal exams. I am there to provide only physical comfort and emotional support and facilitate communication between you, medical staff, and care providers.
-
I can help you get the information you need to make an informed decision, but I will not make decisions for you.
-
I will discuss your concerns with you and suggest options, as well as encourage you and your partner to voice your opinions, questions, and concerns to the staff.
-
Your birth is about you, not me. I am there to support you and your vision for your birth. Whatever you choose, I support. I offer support for all varieties of birth - hospital, birth center, and home; unmedicated, epidural, C-section, and everything in between. No matter how you choose to birth, I can offer support.

Pricing
My basic birth package (2 prenatal appointments, phone & email support, in-person labor & birth support, 1 postnatal appointment) is a flat fee of $900. The Nourishing Birth Package is $1000. Discounts are available for repeat clients, clients with a history of birth trauma, and those with financial need.
I come to your home for pre/postnatal appointments because I believe the best environment to get to know each other is where you feel most comfortable. If you live over 30 minutes from my home, there is a distance fee of $50. For over 45 minutes, there is a distance fee of $75. For over 1 hour, there is a distance fee of $100.
