Service introduction

I am willing to work with insurances if it is set up for independent Doula billing and services. My fees are discussed after determining what services are requested or sought. My packages generally include two visits Prenatal and two visits Postpartum. I also offer in home services for newborn care for mothers who need a little more support, who are healing or who need hands on coaching for new or young mothers.
