3 Simple Steps to Book Your Doula
How does your birth doula pricing work?
All financial pathways to working with a Hello, Tapestry doula are valued and respected. You can use this chart to guide your decision-making process about paying for your doula. The information below is based on the value of birth doula support.
If you need postpartum doula support or another form of doula support, go to this page for more details.
Which of these scenarios fits your family best?
If you fall on the right-hand side, we recommend selecting labor support + childbirth education (4 week HelloBirth hypnobirthing series) = $1,900 to match the full value of the service you are receiving and to help others gain access the same care. If you fall in the middle, we recommend paying $1,500 to create sustainability for our doulas. If you fall on the left-hand side, we recommend paying $1,200 as a way of entering into a professional relationship with your doula and ensuring they are paid as close to their regular rate as possible.
Each of these payment levels is connected to a different package. The standard payment plan for all 3 of these options is one-half (50%) upon service booking and second-half (50%) due by your 36th week of pregnancy.
However, if none of the 3 options meets your needs, please fill out this form. We will be in touch shortly!

Testimonials
She gave me the confidence and knowledge to create my own beliefs about what my birth can be like instead of listening to others with negative experiences. I enjoyed that my husband was able to learn so much as well.

Your time, commitment and caring make a big difference and you are doing a great service. Thank you so much for being a great instructor and doula. I really think without your help I would have had another C-section.
