How much does it cost to hire a doula in Los Angeles?

 

Birth.


My rate is $3,500, at this time.

Hiring a doula to support your birth in Los Angeles costs between $2,500 - $7,000. The rate varies mainly due to the individual doula’s availability, specialized offerings and expertise.

My fee includes two visits to prepare for birth, on call access to me for any questions or advice as they come up, continuous hands on support during your laboring and one visit postpartum in addition to offering any assistance and resources as needed while you adjust to motherhood but also to wrap up our journey together.

The best way to take advantage of doula support is to hire your doula as early in your pregnancy as possible. The rate is always the same regardless of when you hire your doula in your pregnancy. However, if you hire your doula earlier in your pregnancy, you have the full attention and support of your doula for a longer period of time.

Postpartum.


My rate is $80 per hour for postpartum care.

The rate for postpartum support is billed hourly. In the Los Angeles area postpartum support can vary between $35 and $60 per hour.

At this time, I do not offer overnight postpartum support and I only offer postpartum services as an add on for my birth clients. I do not offer postpartum care as a stand alone service.

Postpartum services include newborn care with sleep and feeding, taking care of the mothers recovery, breastfeeding support, household tasks, light housekeeping, cooking/meal planning and whatever else is needed. It is completely customizable to your needs and situation. I am there for you as you need it.

 

What if I can’t afford doula services?

I care deeply about women’s health and providing support to as many birthing mothers as possible. Doula assisted mothers have better birth outcomes and are more satisfied with their birthing experience. I would love to provide evidence based doula care to as many women in the LA area as I can. Please contact me if you are looking for birth or postpartum doula services and you need payment assistance. I may have availability to support you and will determine accommodations on a case by case basis. I also recommend you reach out to The Joy In Birthing Foundation. The foundation serves eligible low income women in the Los Angeles area receive free or low cost doula support.
