Pricing Description

Birth support through Cradle & Bloom is priced on a sliding scale. The foundation of the sliding scale approach is based on trust. I understand that in hiring me, you are trusting me to be apart of an incredibly intimate part of your life. Offering a sliding scale is one way I can express trust in my clients. I trust that they have thought about the value of my support and that they know their financial situation best, and can come to a decision that reflects both. So where do you fit in on this sliding scale? Here are some examples but we will go further in depth at our consultation!

Tier A: $1,000-$1,500
Clients who pay birth fees in Tier A may have already budgeted to pay set fees (up to $2,500 in the Coachella Valley) for a doula. Price might not have been a large factor in the decision to hire a support person. They might have access to familial wealth even if they do not have a lot of cash readily available

* $1,200 is the “full” service fee for birth support, any additional contribution goes towards the teen parent scholarship fund*

Tier B: $700-$1,000
Clients who pay birth fees in Tier B are often graduate students, teachers, or other helping professionals. They might have asked family and friends for money to help cover support services. They might have gone back and forth about whether they could really afford to hire a doula. This cost would represent some sacrifice but would not create financial hardship.

Tier C: $500-$700
Clients who pay birth fees in Tier C or prices below the listed scale are folks who have been struggling financially. One or multiple partners might have been unemployed or underemployed, they may not have access to other people who will help pay for support. Higher levels on the scale would create financial hardship.
