pricing overview

Below is an overview of my pricing and billing options. I intentionally work with a small number of families each month so I can bring a grounded presence and provide more in-depth care. My pricing model allows me to be well rested and be fully present during each family’s unique journey.

Additional fees may apply for longer commutes outside of the City of Vancouver. Prices listed do not include GST.

Insurance and Grant Coverage

I am approved for reimbursement through workplace extended health care plans and HSAs (health spending accounts) including Carrot, Sun Life, and potentially others – check with your provider to confirm!

I am approved for the Doulas for Aboriginal Families Grant Program which covers up to $1200 per pregnancy for full spectrum doula services for Indigenous families (remainder negotiable).

I am also a member of the National Collaboration for Doula Access which periodically offers grant coverage for low income BIPOC families to access doula services.

Rylie handles all the details – from providing the birth pool and everything needed to set it up, use it, and take it down; including a brand new liner and high quality hose with every rental. I can take care of the setup and post-birth cleanup. Our shared goal is to reduce your mental load, offer peace of mind, and make the entire process as seamless as possible.

holistic Postpartum Care for the Golden Month

Four in-home postpartum care visits (~6 hours) combining nourishing meal preparation, herbal support, and restorative bodywork.

Postpartum Nesting Sessions

Daytime rate: $60/hour (4 hour minimum, 8 hour maximum)

Overnight rate: $70/hour (6-8 hours, starting at 9 or 10pm)

Suggested Schedule:

1-2 nights per week so you and your partner can top up on sleep as you recover from the whirlwind of birth and/or 1-2 daytime visits per week for the first 2-6 weeks (and as needed after that).

Depending on your budget, you may want to prioritize having more visits booked for the first couple weeks for the initial adjustment period and taper off from there.

The focus of this offering is to help with the initial transition, care for your baby so you can rest, provide infant care demonstrations, and set you up to be more confident!
