"Working with Ellen before I went into labor helped me decide how I might respond to the many questions the medical staff asked, from pain medications to choices for the baby in her first few moments after birth. Throughout my labor and birth Ellen helped us to understand what was happening and explained how each decision would affect our options later. Throughout all twists and turns in my labor (over 50 hours!) and delivery (less than 50 minutes!), Ellen was calm, compassionate and a steady companion on whom I could rely and lean on." -Jenna M.

| Financial Options |
|
As a parent in a family of six I understand that financing large expenses can sometimes be challenging. Therefore I strive to work with families so they can afford my services. I offer several ways for families arrange payment or barter. Some families may be able to get insurance reimbursement, I can provide the detailed receipt you will need.
I also offer several combination 'packages' that will reduce the overall cost of my services:
- Doula combo: Standard birth doula care plus 6 hours post partum care
- Birth doula with massage: Standard birth doula care plus 1 prenatal or post partum massage
- Post partum care packages: Several options based on the number of hours you require
- Homebirth with birth pool: Standard birth doula service with free use of birth pool
- Birth Doula with breastfeeding support: Standard birth doula services with 2 in home nursing support sessions.
- Birth Doula with private childbirth education: Standard doula service and a reduced cost for classes (1 day, 3 lessons, 6 lessons, or special).
