The Intimate Path

Virtual Doula: Investment: $1,500

(HSA/FSA Eligible — Superbill provided for reimbursement)

The Focus: Peaceful guidance, unhurried advocacy, and expert support for families—whether you are across the globe or right here in the Bay Area. Distance should never be a barrier to having a “Village” behind you.

What’s Included:

  • Unlimited Connection: Continuous text, phone, and email support throughout your pregnancy to answer every question and calm every fear.
  • The Virtual Village Strategy: Two dedicated 1-on-1 video sessions to map out your birth preferences and build your custom postpartum recovery plan.
  • Empowered Preparation: Comprehensive birth plan assistance and “Birth Bag” preparation to ensure you and your partner feel organized and ready.
  • Expert Feeding Prep: As a trained Lactation Specialist, I include a dedicated virtual session on infant feeding, latching, and pumping strategies so you feel confident before the baby arrives.
  • Remote Labor Coaching: Real-time coaching and support while you are laboring in the comfort of your home. I help you and your partner navigate the “when to go” transition with peace and confidence.
  • Strategic Advocacy Support: Once you are at the hospital, I remain available for text and phone check-ins during the quiet moments between clinical shifts. To protect your privacy and ensure you feel free to be fully present in your labor, I do not take video calls while medical staff are in the room. This ensures your voice remains the priority and you feel empowered to advocate for yourself using the tools we practiced.
  • The Hybrid Perk (Bay Area Families Only): For families located in the San Francisco Bay Area, this package includes one in-person prenatal visit to practice hands-on comfort measures and partner support techniques in the home.
  • Postpartum Check-in: One virtual follow-up session to process your birth story and troubleshoot any early lactation or newborn care needs.

A Commitment to Accessible Care

I believe that every family deserves supportive, empowering care during their birth experience. If my standard rates present a financial barrier, please reach out. I am happy to discuss flexible payment plans or sliding-scale options so we can find an arrangement that works gracefully for your family. This operates on an honest system—I trust families to request these options when truly needed, which allows me to sustain this practice and continue offering accessible care to our community.
