SLIDING SCALE
I believe everyone deserves the same amount of support regardless of their ability to pay or financial situation. I have created these scales so prices are fair and sustainable for me and accessible to my clients. Other ways to help you access doula support; you can pay in multiple payments and you are in charge of this (I require a deposit and the balance is due by a certain time, but in between you can make payment as suits you) I offer gift certificates so you can add doula services to your baby registry and have friends and family help out. I know talking about money sucks and is uncomfortable for some people and I treat these conversation with confidentiality, respect and compassion.
Here is how to determine which tier you belong to;
TIER 1
For people who
- Have financial security and stability all/most of the time
- Often have expendable income for things other than their basic needs (travel, hobbies, seasonal ski pass, restaurants, have the ability to buy new items instead of thrifted if they wanted to, renewing sport equipment fairly often, etc.)
- Have access to financial support from family and/or friends
- Who might need to budget or plan to pay for my services but it wouldn’t affect their ability to cover their basic needs
TIER 2
For people who;
- Can make ends meet but are not left with much expendable income
- Are going through financial hardships at the moment
- Who would struggle to meet their basic needs if they paid regular price
TIER 3
For people who;
- Have low/no income
- Struggle to even meet their basics needs regularly
- Qualify for government assistance
- Don’t have financial support from their family and/or friends
*Note that I have limited capacity to accept people in the tier 2 and 3. I do rely on donation which go into a fund that I use to support myself when working with clients in tier 2 and 3. All donations and help to increase that fund is deeply appreciated.
