Q&A
What exactly is a full spectrum doula?
Each person can need a completely different kind of support experience. My job is to be the thermostat in the room.
A doula is an added support. They are meant to be there to fill any gaps, provide emotional, physical, logistical and non-medical support to those experiencing struggles and experiencing joy during any part of their individual paths.
What do you mean by custom art?
Fun fact: I went to an arts high school and college. I love providing something special for clients. The image you would like me to draw is up to you.
Do you take insurance?
Unfortunately, not at this time. I am currently close to accepting Medicaid but not quite there!
Instead, I run by the Green Bottle Method:
-
-
The standard rates clients choose an amount within this range if they are generally able to meet their needs financially.
-
The pay it forward rates clients choose an amount within this range if the standard rates are accessible and they are able to pay a higher rate to help balance out those who fall on the low end of the scale.
-
The accessibility rates clients choose an amount in this range if they often struggle to meet their needs financially, are on disability, or wouldn't be able to access this care otherwise.

You are a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist. Will there be pressure to feed my baby a certain way?
Absolutely not. A CBS's job is to provide education on lactation which is all encompassing. It includes comfortable weaning support if that is a hard line you have made. There are many facets to it and I run on the belief of "support is best". It is nobody's business where a decision comes from.
