Doula Services -Pricing

  • Birth Doula

    Investment $2199

    Flexible Payment Plans on offer

    Your birth is so important, and inviting me into your birth space is an immense privilege that I do not take lightly.

    Everyone’s needs and birth aspirations are different, which is why it’s challenging to list all the ways I can support you-no two births are the same! But you can be assured that I will be there for you, however you need me to be.

    What’s included:

    -Unlimited digital support is available from whenever you hire me, until 6 weeks after birth. (Phone calls, emails, texts, video chats etc)
    -Antenatal meetings with you and your birth partner as and when required. Some people need more than others, and I want you be assured that we will go with what is right for you.
    -A meeting with your LMC and care team
    -Birth preference mapping
    -Access to information, resources and my birth kit, including a birth sling, affirmation cards and projector lamp for mood lighting
    -Use of my birth pool for free (subject to availability)
    -A free photo session when your baby is 6 months old, documenting as they grow
    -Complimentary professional photography of your birth and first moments together as a new family.
    -A postpartum debrief visit to discuss your birth together.


    I attend your birth from whenever you need me until your baby is here, regardless of how long your labour may be. I support you and your birth partner in ways that allow you both to feel present, and work to capture special memories for you to look back on.

    I look forward to connecting x

  • Birth and Transition to Parenthood Support

    Investment $2599


    Payment plans are available

    In addition to all the birth services I provide, this option includes 3 x 3 hour visits, in the first weeks of your life as a new family.

    This service is specifically suited to first time parents navigating their transition to parenthood. It includes practical support, confidence building with your new baby, in-home cooking, light house work, and a friendly, compassionate personality in your space.

  • Antenatal Consult

    Investment - $150
    For those looking for some direction in the earliest days of their journey, a 1:1 meeting to discuss how to find what you’re looking for in our maternity system, is available.

    The conversation is steered by what you need and where you are at (some people elect to do this pre-conception!), but will be an opportunity for you to start off on the right foot. We will discuss connections to the right resources for you, and the importance of shared, quality communication with your maternity care provider.

    After our coffee (or Zoom call if you are far away), we can check in over email or subsequent meetup.

    You will also receive complimentary access to my monthly group Support Skills Workshop for birth partners.

    This service can be used as credit towards doula support.

  • 1:1 Partner Birth Support Skills Workshop

    Investment $229

    Either in your home (Hamilton only) or online, we can be together to workshop supporting your labour.

    Modern day birth information leaves partners out of the equation, until antenatal class. From there, there is nothing to build on-yet we expect significant skills from our birth partners that have not historically been passed down. This is the first generation of birth partners bearing as much of a proactive role, compared to those that existed before.

    In the birth space, I support the partner to be their best, most resilient self for their loved one in labour. Instilling confidence and sharing techniques are crucial elements of this. If you’re not looking for a full support package, but want to build on the foundation provided by child birth education classes, this is the service for you.

    I will offer you my comprehensive workshop, provide the slide copies, and if you are local, teach you hands-on labour comforts that you can apply well on the day (no more guessing how to do a hip squeeze mid labour).

  • VBAC Planning

    Investment $150
    Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC) are a significant part of my caseload and huge passion project. I have supported many families to experience VBACs in a way they meant they felt safe and emotionally fulfilled.
    VBACs are more than clinical tick boxes. They are emotional, complex and personal roads to a redemptive experience.

    This workshop discusses preferences and considerations for:
    -Your early labour
    -Environment and needs
    -Your plans and expectations
    -Support in choosing a midwife if requried
    -Preferences in the event of a repeat Caesarean

Pregnancy Portraits

From - $499

Your pregnancy is worth documenting!
I want you to feel confident and powerful in celebrating your body. Whether that’s in a stream, or by a window in your home.

Once you have booked with me, I will send you a questionnaire to plan your session the way that suits you and your family. You can also access my client wardrobe at no extra charge. I have a small collection of dresses that fit sizes 5-30.

 

Birth Photography

From - $1999

I adore capturing the intensity and raw power of labour, then juxtaposing this with the tender moments that come with holding your baby for the very first time. Labour is a true emotional rollercoaster, and I’m here to help you piece it all together, and preserve the journey forever.

I don’t shy away from the grit of birth and love to document it authentically even when that means blood and tears.

This service is specifically for those not looking for a doula.

You will receive 100+ fully edited digital images, in a variety of black and white and colour edits. Coverage of your birth begins at active labour, and continues to capture the first 1-3 hours of your baby’s life earthside.
Discounted pregnancy portraits and newborn sessions are offered for $199 each.
Client caseload permitting, you may also be able to access my birth pool if desired.

Newborn Photography

From - $499

Once you and your new family are settled in at home, I will come to you to take your picture. You can include older children, grandparents and pets to be featured in these sessions.

Your baby is best photographed before 12 days old for the sleepiest newborn images. Please book as soon as you can and before your baby is born.

Babies don’t have to be newborns for a similar session to occur, please enquire if you have older infants you’d like photographed.

This package includes 20 fully edited digital images. For more images, sibling photos and other options, please contact me.

See my portfolio for examples of my work for these kind of sessions.

Family Photography

From - $449

These sessions are an excellent option for toddlers and older children. Pick from a number of locations, such as the Taitua Arboretum or the Hamilton Gardens. Your little ones get to explore a fun environment and the photos come from their interactions with the family and the scenery. This creates truly candid images of your babies as they are right now, for you to keep and enjoy.

If you would prefer I come to your home, this can be arranged. There are no extra charges for travel within Hamilton City.

This package includes 20 digital images and allows for approximately 1 hour of shooting time, appropriate for up to 4 people. If you have additional family members or wish to capture more memories, please enquire for my full pricing list.

Please note: I am happy to travel out of town for any of my services. Any bookings outside of the Hamilton city boundary are subject to a travel fee for antenatal visits. Birth travel is always included in my costs. On call services outside of Hamilton will require accommodation allowance or somewhere to sleep, to ensure I am driving on our roads safely after long labours.
