Doula Packages & Pricing

FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions

Do your packages offer a payment plan?

Yes. For all of them. My packages include a plan of 2 payments. 75% on the date of signing the contract and 25% before or by week 37 except the first 2 packages that need to paid in full before we start working together

Payment should be paid up in full by week 37. As a rule, I do not attend a birth or postpartum appointment before the full payment is honored as I have to plan my household to be available to you.

I saw you offer belly binding. Do you only do home visits?

I offer Belly binding from the day you are comfortable. I have had mums who wanted to be bind from day 2 post-birth, so I visit at the hospital or at home. I come to you where you are at, from your birth room, kraam hotel and then at home. Ideally, the home visits should be within an hours travel distance otherwise I will charge for my transport fees to get to you

I started teaching how to bind from a distance too. You can purchase the binding tutorial and start enjoying the benefits of binding immediately you feel comfortable. Check the offerings list :-)

Do you only offer 3 appointments for Postpartum?

No. In my native country Kenya, postpartum care is 40 days. You can book me for 40 days too, 6 or 8 weeks. Then I offer a detailed package of what I would offer. The days I will make a meal for you, I will bill for the ingredients separately or the fee may be included in the package unless you already have the ingredients in your house. Whatever works best for you. This offer will have a payment plan of 75% paid on the day of the contract and the rest finished before we end the contract

Kraamzorg Extra: what is it and when can one book?

Many times after the kraamzorg has left is when life really begins. The postpartum tears come, the baby may loose weight, breastfeeding without support starts to become difficult. Kraamzorg extra is simply having me come and provide the same care out of your kraam/postpartum week. I am not your typical kraamzorg though so you are sure to be in for a treat with this one whilst you continue to adjust, recover in harmony as a family.

You can request me as a kraamzorg to continue out of the kraamweek with your family. Costs are €58/hour that you need to pay yourself. The minimum is 5 hours. For a total of 6 hours you will pay €290. This means you’ll get 6 hours of care hours for the price of 5

What is not included in your packages?

• Travel costs if I have to get to you at night for the birth is not included

• Travel costs further than an hour’s distance is not included. For all other travel needs, I will use public transport

• As a business, I am obliged to charge BTW (TAX). This is 21% of total costs unless stated ‘included’. I offer payment plans to help you cover this

• Belly Bind costs are as follows. If I lend it to you I charge per day. Otherwise, you can buy it to keep for good. I will liaise the price with you directly

Is there a timing when I can book you as a Doula?

It really depends on your comfort. I have had clients book me even before their first midwife appointments. Then I avail myself throughout your pregnancy and birth

When are you on call when we book a Doula Package?

I am on call for you from the moment you sign your contract, return it and pay your 75% deposit. Then I block your due date on my agenda and I do not take another client with your due date or closer to. Please note that I work with Back up Doulas who will attend 1 prenatal appointment with me so that they are not a stranger should they end up attending your birth, should life happen my end

When does your return of funds policy apply?

I refund all monies when there is a loss unless advised otherwise. In my practice I have a rule, I set aside x amount from paying clients for those who come my way needing the support without funds. Some of my clients who have gone on to lose their pregnancy have contributed towards this cause.

It is not obligated, it is a choice. I thank you in advance for helping me achieve this :-)
