I offer reduced price to accommodate clients with financial limitations.

“I am a certified doula and an active member of DONA International, the world’s leading doula organization. This membership reflects my commitment to upholding DONA’s standards of professional conduct, continuing education, and evidence-based perinatal support.”

“As a certified doula, I am an approved provider in the Carrot Fertility Directory, allowing eligible clients to use their Carrot benefits toward my services. This helps make doula support more accessible during fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum care.”

“I want you to feel as safe and supported as possible, so I keep my vaccinations current. My TDAP, flu, and COVID vaccines are all up to date.”

Carrot may reimburse for birth-doula services (prenatal support, labor & delivery support, birth-planning consultations, continuous labor support). Carrot also covers postpartum doula services for many plans — including daytime support, overnight or night-doula support, newborn care help, lactation support (non-clinical), postpartum parent support, newborn education/consultations. The reimbursement often extends to a defined postpartum period (e.g. first 6 weeks after birth) — so clients can get support during the early postpartum phase. The doula must be certified and meet Carrot’s eligibility criteria (valid certification, proper training, liability insurance where required, up-to-date credentials) to be “Carrot-approved.” Some documentation is required: after services are rendered, a detailed invoice or “superbill” listing services, dates, and doula credentials may need to be submitted to Carrot for reimbursement. Clients (or families) usually pay the doula directly, then use Carrot to get reimbursed (i.e. the doula doesn’t bill Carrot). Because Carrot plans vary by employer, clients need to check their individual plan details — including total benefit amount, any caps or limits, whether both birth and postpartum services are included, and how many hours or weeks postpartum support is eligible. Carrot typically covers doula support — but not “extra” services: for example, postpartum coverage generally excludes housecleaning, meal prep, sibling care, live-in care, or services beyond typical birth/postpartum doula support (non-clinical care, newborn support, lactation guidance, education, etc.) Because coverage varies, “how much is covered” (full, partial, dollar limits, hours/days, postpartum duration) depends on the employer’s Carrot plan.

“If you have Carrot Fertility benefits through your employer, I qualify as a Carrot-approved doula — which means you might be able to use those funds toward my birth or postpartum doula services. I would provide you with the detailed invoice you’ll need for reimbursement.”
