About sliding scale pricing

Offering my services on a sliding scale allows me to do the most good. Please choose your price as a reflection of your privilege and financial circumstance. If you are unsure, consider this image illustrating an idea called The Green Bottle. And also reach out with barter or other mutually beneficial suggestion.

Thanks to Kate York and Doula JuJu for sliding scale wording and ideas.

Chest/Breastfeeding Assessment Consultation 

2 hour in-home consultation.  I’ll work with you to do a complete bodyfeeding assessment and as needed, latch support / correction, pump education and future planning.  Cost: $125-$150

How am I doing?  Check-in (hourly)

Hourly services to assess bodyfeeding progress, check in on your journey and discuss adjustments as necessary.  This is great for a “I just have a couple of questions” need.  Cost: $40-$60 /hour

Chest/Breastfeeding Group Class

2 1/2 hour comprehensive group class for new parents enables us to take time to answer all your bodyfeeding questions and concerns.  Receiving preemptive education is the best way to avoid bodyfeeding complications, increase confidence and increase bodyfeeding success!  It can also be a fun way to meet other people who are due around the same time and learn from their questions.

Available class sessions: October 20, November 10, December 8, January 12, February 9, March 9

to register: email treetowndoulas@gmail.com

Cost: $125 -$150

Chest/Breastfeeding Private Class

Maybe you have a history of bodyfeeding but want to do things differently with this baby …
Or want to include your support team in prenatal education …
