I offer pre & postnatal services. You may book only prenatal services (inclusive of labor and birth support) or postnatal services. If you do book both services there is a discounted fixed cost of $1200. I do offer sliding scales and payment plans for clients.
Cindy was beyond awesome with my postpartum care. From Showing me ways to breastfeed my little one , to checking my blood pressure to just checking in on us . After I gave birth my milk wasn’t in yet and Cindy made me some DELICIOUS cookies and oatmeal I swear made them come in the next day !! I will always come back with every baby I have ! Thank you so much for everything you did for me and my baby boy .

Malkah is an amazing doula! She was extremely supportive during my pregnancy and even more supportive postpartum. Being a first time mom it didn’t occur to me how much postpartum takes a toll on your body, and your mental, there are so many unexpected factors. She was there every step of the way, always available when I needed assistance, or just wanting someone to talk to. I was never alone which was my greatest fear. Also being a single mom having Malkah by my side at appointments, grocery shopping, birthing classes, pre labor, early and active labor meant everything to me!! Having a doula made my pregnancy bearable but having Malkah as my doula made it beautiful, she completely gave me a whole new level of appreciation for birth workers, she goes above and beyond. She is an outstanding human being!! I honestly could not have gotten through my whole pregnancy, birth experience, and postpartum without her looking back now. I loved my birth experience and I’m so happy that I can say that!
