Postpartum Doula, Lakewood, CA, Torrance, CA, Long
Birth and Postpartum Support:
I encourage your to interview other Doulas! There are some industry standard offerings but each Doula offers something unique and you owe it to yourself to birth without any inhibitions. The Doula fees also vary, determine your budget. Birth Doulas charge a range from $300 - $3000 and Postpartum Doulas charge a range from $15 - $55 an hour, know what you are getting for that fee.
I am one of the most experienced Doulas and Doula Trainers in the area with almost 15 years of support services and over 500 births, but I am not the most expensive Doula. I also believe that anyone who wants a Doula, should have a Doula.

It's TIME! Now what? You envisioned going in, birthing your baby and going home, but things aren't going as planned. You need resources, options and guidance. A Doula will do her best to provide with woman support, but if she can't because you did not contract with her in advance, we don't want you to be left to your own devices.
