Birth Doula Package
Whether your birth is a few hours to a few days, Alyssa is committed to making sure quality over quantity is key; therefore, she takes on fewer clients per month to fully show up for you and your family throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum window.
On average, Alyssa spends approximately a total of 50+ hours per client between appointments, unlimited labor support, editing and shooting photography, unlimited text and call support, resourcing within our community, and postpartum assistance/communication.
Alyssa also provides free community support gathering within the St. Augustine Birth Collective on a weekly basis for all expecting and seasoned Mothers throughout pregnancy and new Motherhood. This is not just for her birth and postpartum clients, but for any Mother seeking solidarity, support, and an unbiased, judgement free space. Her hopes is to provide an open floor where women can share their experiences and thoughts on various intimate, raw, and often not talked about topics. This is a great way to not only sit in circle with your doula, but other women as well!
In order to serve all families, please inquire with Alyssa to see if you are both a compatible fit for each other and to discuss pricing structure.
Active military families, medical professionals, and teachers receive a $200 appreciation reduction on the above fee.
Families birthing at home with St. Augustine Birth Collective will receive $200 off of their birth package.
Appreciation discounts (for St. Augustine Birth Collective and active military, medical professionals, and teachers) cannot be stacked together.
Repeat clients will be guaranteed locked in pricing according to the rate they first hired the Doula for.
In order to serve all families, on a case by case basis, Alyssa is able to do a Sliding Scale Rate for those who are in need and will benefit from the below services.
Alyssa firmly believes that one should not be limited to a care provider based on price alone ; those who do pay her full package fee allow her to take on Sliding Scale Clientele. A Doula’s pricing is set based on number of births attended and her experience, and what is included (prenatal and postpartum visits, photography, childbirth education, etc.).
Connection, experience, and what is provided over price is important when making this big decision!
What is included?
Investment: $2,500 - 2025 Rate
3-4 prenatal appointments (for some, this may mean more visits so that education, trust, and individualized consultation for food, cooking, and herbal support can be met).

A visit with you to your healthcare provider at the end of the third trimester (optional - can also offer this virtually before the appointment to discuss options).
