Those who are insured through WA Apple Health Insurance (Medicaid plans through Coordinated Care, Molina, WellPoint, & CHPW) can receive doula services (at no cost to the mother) by working with me! This insurance will fully cover all aspects of my Birth and Postpartum Doula packages including: prenatal visits, labor and delivery support, and in-home postpartum care.

Insurance plans through Regence typically provide reimbursement for doula services as well.

Full moons signify a shift in heightened emotions and increased intuition. This speaks so deeply to the maternal experience. Mothers often talk about the huge identify shift that happens when becoming a parent. Furthermore, there tends to be feelings of “losing a part of yourself”. Throughout my life, I have referred back to this quote by Isra Al-Thibeh: “Darling, the moon is still the moon in all its phases.” Darling mama — remember that just like the moon, you are still you: before, during, and after you become a mother.

As your Doula, I am here to support your family, in ways that make sense for your specific situation. A doula does not “replace” your spouse or partner — rather supports them so that they can better support you as the mother. I work hard to build trust with both parents in order to cater my support to their needs. The partner/support person brings expertise in knowing the mother and how they like to be supported, while the Doula brings expertise in knowledge, advocacy and experience. Together we create the ideal birth team!

Your friends, family and loved ones are so excited about welcoming your baby into this world! They want to support you in ways you would appreciate — but often don’t know what would be most useful. Share with them your desire to have a doula through your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum time, and ask for support towards this cost. Many women have found success in listing doula services on their registries.

Additionally, more employers and insurance companies are covering doula services, so check into the benefits your plan offers and I will provide an invoice for you to submit for reimbursement. I am able to accept HSA or FSA cards for payment as well.

I offer all of my services in the Wenatchee, WA Valley and surrounding areas including Leavenworth, Chelan, Moses Lake and all of the smaller towns in between! I accompany mothers and families at hospital births, the Wenatchee Midwife Service & Childbirth Center, and homebirths (with a Midwife).

Individuals reach out to me at all times of their pregnancy - some send a message right away after finding out they’re pregnant, and others reach out during their second or third trimester. The sooner you reach out — the better, for multiple reasons! I work with a limited amount of families, so the earlier you reach out, the better chance you have of securing a spot on my calendar during your due month! Additionally, those who book earlier have more access to support throughout their entire pregnancy!
